IntRodUctIon

the guide will show you how salaries have fluctuated across the marketing and communications profession with market overviews and salary information for each industry sector. the salary data has been researched thoroughly by our consultants, and is based on candidates’ disclosure of salaries, advertised salaries and job offers by clients. they also take into account current market conditions and forecasts.

as we work with hundreds of businesses across the UK, we are able to forecast how remuneration packages for professionals in the sector will look in the coming months. It is important to note that salaries are influenced by company size, location, sector, hiring profile and benefits packages – this is in addition to qualifications, skills, experience and job remit. We haven’t been able to accommodate all of these variables in the figures presented, therefore please use this publication as a guide to current salaries only.

If you’d like to speak to us about what you’ve read in this booklet or have a general enquiry regarding recruitment or careers in marketing and communications, please do not hesitate to get in touch. you’ll find our contact details on the back page of this guide.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Mike Game ceo, Hudson europe

coMMeRce & IndUstRy

the commerce and industry sector experienced a somewhat turbulent 2011. the first half of the year was buoyant, but this gave way to a stagnant and sporadic H2. this second six months was particularly notable for clients’ hesitance in the face of an uncertain economic climate. as a result, the duration of typical recruitment cycles increased significantly and clients’ expectations of candidates were raised. Where, in years gone by, an individual’s potential might have compensated for a perceived skill shortage, recent assignments suggest that employers are using far stricter selection criteria at the moment.

In spite of this, there was an unfaltering demand for digital and ecommerce professionals, along with acquisition, retention and proposition managers. the bigger names in the telecommunications and utilities sectors, in particular, faced up to tougher competition and reduced marketing budgets. companies continued to innovate and opt for smarter and more cost-effective means to engage with potential employees, and it is expected that this trend will continue well into 2012.

fInancIal seRVIces

2011 started positively for the financial services market, following a successful 2010. Recruitment was consistent in retail, corporate and investment, and more temporary professionals than usual were taken on across the retail banking space. Marketing and communication posts in financial services are highly vulnerable to changes in the wider market, recruitment slowed as the year progressed and market uncertainty emerged. by H2, recruitment levels were down across the board for temporary and permanent workers. as we head into 2012 with continuing uncertainly, we believe the employment market will reflect this turbulence.

Where we have seen consistency in the market is in the digital, internal communications and product space. digital professionals are being recruited consistently in the financial services sector and candidates with these skills are able to command a decent uplift in salary when they move to new company. Internal communications professionals – especially those with change management experience – continue to be sought after, and this is especially true in a temporary capacity. candidates with specific product experience will always be in high demand in this sector.

PRofessIonal seRVIces

current market uncertainties have not had the same impact on the professional services space. Indeed, we witnessed an uplift in the recruitment of people for fixed-term contract roles in comparison to past years. there is still a particularly high demand for strong business development managers and bid managers, with a particular call for junior and mid-level candidates.

salaries for senior level roles have mostly stagnated over recent years, but a clear talent shortage in junior to mid-level candidates has meant a small increase in wages compared to recent years. as companies look to increase their competitive edge through 2012, they will need to increase their salary and personal development offering.

PUblIc sectoR & not-foR-PRofIt

there have been a lot of cuts and redundancies across the public sector – especially across government departments. this has created a surplus of internal/stakeholder communications candidates whose roles have not been absorbed in other sectors. overall, salaries have been affected and more clients are opting for fixed-term contracts rather than day rates.

the not-for-profit, membership, housing and education sectors remain more stable. In these environments there has been a stronger demand for marketing candidates with a commercial background – personnel who can drive products or services and focus on return on investment, allowing organisations to survive in a more competitive market.

In 2011, the economic climate in the Midlands and north of england continued to be challenging for marketing and communications professionals. the retail industry suffered in particular, with a lack of consumer disposable income hitting the bottom line. this, coupled with restructures and mergers for some of the larger employers across the region, has left the employment market in a state of uncertainty.

businesses are trying to strike the right balance between a drive for profit and investing in traditional and digital marketing channels to engage with their customers. While the recruitment market has picked up year on year, hirers have remained frugal and cautious about permanent headcount plans. at the same time though, they have been anxious not to be left behind with advances relating to social media and mobile marketing – companies have recognised that social media and digital marketing via computers and smart phones can be a cost-effective and engaging way to retain customers and acquire new ones. as a result, there has been a continued appetite for digital and e-commerce professionals.

tHe MIdlands and noRtH

there has also been a demand for candidates in the fields of market research, analysis and insight for consumer and business services sectors – this seems to be part of a push to ensure the right customers are being targeted, at the right time, and through the right channel or mix of channels. Internal communications personnel also remain a key target, as businesses look to retain and engage staff in support of their sustainable growth plans. this has created a requirement for permanent and interim personnel with these skill sets, who can work with commercial marketing and human resources colleagues.

as we move through 2012, we need to be conscious that candidates will think long and hard before they commit to a career move. therefore, to secure the best talent, organisations across all sectors will need to demonstrate sustainable growth plans, as well as committed headcount plans and robust, innovative and engaging recruitment strategies.

coMMeRce & IndUstRy

We continue to see steady growth in marketing and communications recruitment activity across a range of sectors, and commerce and industry can be highlighted as an area that should experience significant growth through 2012. Utilities and fMcG companies are particularly active in hiring new talent to drive growth in targeted areas and business essential roles. In-demand skills include digital marketing, brand and product marketing.

the manufacturing and It sectors are hiring commercial marketers – typically those with a breadth of business-to-business (b2b) marketing experience – as they continue to maximise existing client pools and seek out new markets. their preference appears to be for a broader b2b marketing skill set, however digital expertise also continues to be highly sought after. We expect this trend to continue in 2012, with companies looking to integrate more digital activity into their marketing strategies to respond to cost and customer experience drives.

scotlandUnsurprisingly, construction and related sectors are still finding the market difficult, with only the most essential hires being made.

In the private sector, companies continue to take a cautious approach to growth and are managing costs tightly. We expect the numbers of interim opportunities to grow in 2012, as more and more companies appreciate that they can bring in high calibre, interim marketing talent without having to commit to permanent headcount.

fInancIal seRVIces

the financial services sector continues to be a dominant employment market for marketing and communications professionals in scotland.

there is major demand for interim resource. Indeed, the sustained increase in demand for high calibre contractors has resulted in talent shortages, particularly in areas like internal communications and product, driving up day rates. there was limited growth in the permanent opportunities market through 2011, and we envisage this trend will

continue in 2012. With that said, there is still a demand for commercially-focused, revenue-generating marketing professionals who can improve product performance and drive customer acquisition.

throughout 2011, we saw an increase in the demand for candidates with an agency background, with organisations seeking to enhance their in-house marketing capability and reduce marketing agency costs. typically, these candidates have strong customer-centric experience, they have worked on high volume campaigns and have the breadth of multi-channel experience.

as digital and social media continued to grow, many clients recognised that they needed to bring in experienced resources or invest in up-skilling current marketing team members. clients are actively seeking candidates with knowledge and experience of social media, web analytics and other emerging digital technologies.

Many financial services companies that are seeking out the best senior talent are opting for Hudson’s search and selection activity, which utilises the extensive reach

Page 39: Marketing Salary Survey 2012 (1) (1)

UK MaRKetInG & coMMUnIcatIons | HUdson salaRy GUIde 2012 37

of our global database and network. following the high levels of recruitment activity in scotland over recent years, we envisage that there will be a continued demand to seek out a new candidate pool for mid to senior marketers across the UK and overseas.

PRofessIonal seRVIces

through 2011, a number of professional services companies were keen to invest in marketing and communications after reassessing their marketing and business development functions. Many recognised they needed to bring in the best commercial thinking talent to develop a competitive edge, retain business and attract new contracts; and they were prepared to offer very competitive salaries to acquire high calibre candidates.

We predict that the growing demand for permanent business development and tender managers will continue through 2012. this is as a direct result of the increased competition between local and national firms.

the most buoyant marketing and communications roles in the professional services sector were permanent, junior to mid-level positions (salary ranges from £25,000 to £35,000). We have not seen an increase in the demand for interim contracts in this area, which bucks the trend in other sectors, though the full impact of public sector austerity measures may well change this in 2012.

It has started to become a challenge to find candidates of the right calibre for new positions, with the sustained growth in demand over the last year now outstripping supply. this has resulted in more active headhunting and networking activity.

PUblIc sectoR & not-foR-PRofIt

as expected, we have seen a significant reduction in the amount of permanent and interim opportunities for marketing and communications professionals in all areas of the public sector. not-for-profit organisations have also been heavily impacted by cuts as a result of the

reduction in allocated funding to the third sector. naturally, these organisations have had to limit their headcount numbers to overcome this loss.

there has been continued demand for permanent and interim candidates in specialist areas, however. the candidates with skill sets in digital marketing, PR and internal communications will continue to be highly sought after through 2012. Restricted budgets mean that many organisations have been focusing on more cost effective marketing activity and are therefore maximising the use of digital media.

as the public sector continues to go through a period of unprecedented change, both culturally and structurally, many organisations will need to invest in employee engagement activity.
