A PERSPECTIVE ON SALARIES IN THE CREATIVE INDUSTRY SALARY $URVEY 2017 CREATIVE, MARKETING & DIGITAL

02 03 Welcome to the 2017 salary survey There is a strong demand for good people for all business-types and specialisms, but especially in agencies and for those working in Digital & Tech and UX. According to the latest figures from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, the UK s creative industries grew by 8.9 per cent in 2016, nearly double that of the UK economy as a whole. The industries overall are worth 84.1 billion to the UK economy, showing how buoyant the sector is. Major Players has experienced a 16% increase in the number of vacancies across the board over the past year. To see the full range of roles in more detail, VISIT WWW.MAJORPLAYERS.CO.UK/JOBS PAY INCREASES There has been significant pay increases across all disciplines, either by progression in the same company or moving jobs. The highest pay rises were seen in planning and strategy (41%), account handling (38%) and tech/ux (37%) all receiving a pay rise over 10% above the national average of 2.5%. WHY PEOPLE LEAVE THEIR JOBS? By far the biggest reason for people wishing to leave their jobs is limited career progression in their current role, followed by remuneration. JOB SATISFACTION Overall, satisfaction in the creative marketing and digital disciplines is high, with around 70% largely satisfied in their current role. The highest satisfaction levels are present in content, editorial and social, followed by PR and marketing. BENEFITS The need for a better work-life balance has become increasingly more desirable for all, with flexible working the most sought after benefit. This was favoured even over a bonus. EDUCATION Those in the industry are well-educated - around 82% have a degree or Master s. The survey was compiled by Major Players using data collected from 3,200 respondents combined with insight gathered from senior consultants. The table represents an overview of job levels and salary averages in all listed disciplines. WWW.MAJORPLAYERS.CO.UK/JOBS OR CALL: 020 7836 4041
