Okay, here is something you haven't considered, and it's quite possible. You had a new Marketing Director come in. After learning what you do, they outsourced it. When my new supervisor came in, she learned (well she didn't really but she said she did) what I did, then fired me and hired a friend of hers to do my job, which didn't work out because they left within two weeks. It is quite possible that she is reorganizing and phasing old staff out to bring in her friends and people she likes to work with. That happens ALL THE TIME when new directors come in.
Maybe she has worked with this consultant in the past and wants to surround herself with people she knows and likes. Maybe it has nothing to do with you except that you aren't one of her buddies.
I have to say that's what it honestly sounds like to me. She wants to restructure things so that they suit her, and in the end, that puts you out. It has nothing to do with your abilities, but rather what she wants.
