Careful using a headhunter. They are paid for by the company who hires you and that by itself could make you an undesirable hire. If a headhunter presents you and the company also has a load of qualified resumes where they don't have to pay $30k up front just to hire you, you may not be considered.
Head hunters are used most often where there is a perceived labour shortage, where specialized expertise is needed, or where some companies want help to attract the best of the bunch or a particular sort of person.
I can't say I've heard of headhunters in the marketing industry other than at the executive level. Part of the reason is the qualifications needed are all over the place.
