Paul, You are going to want marketing specialists to do activity for you based on your specific prioritized needs. Marketing firms are typically expensive like lawyers and so you need a pretty solid brief to guide them correctly.
As an example: - Need more traffic? Maybe better SEO. Get an SEO expert. - Poor conversion? Maybe need to do some AB testing. Get an analyst of developer who loves this kind of activity. I work for a 1400 person firm in the US who specialize in customer identification, segmentation and targeting who have 200 analytics/statistics PhD's. - Want to try for a viral video? Maybe you need to recruit a video development company and a creative guy to lead them. - More word of mouth and community building? Maybe you need to build this yourself and get a community formed. The options are daunting and could consumer unlimited budget. If you can't you afford a marketing director or CMO, maybe you could hire a consultant to help you prioritize your marketing needs and then break the problem down into manage-able streams of work. Having a handle on your marketing goals is going to be the toughest thing to figure out and turning that into an action plan. The rest is detailed and careful execution. I hope this helps. Patrick.
