A PERSPECTIVE ON SALARIES IN THE CREATIVE INDUSTRY
Despite the political turbulence over the last couple of years with Brexit and the US election, it appears to have had a minimal impact on recruitment and hiring and overall unemployment in the UK has reached a low of 1.44 million. Overall we have experienced a 32% increase in the number of permanent and freelance vacancies at Major Players across the digital, creative and tech industries over the past year.
This year our annual salary survey in conjunction with The Drum shows some interesting insight
across bonuses, job satisfaction, job security and gender differences in pay. There are also some distinct trends across key specialisms. Despite modest growth in the economy, there were still a significant number of pay rises either as a promotion or moving companies.
The UK’s creative industries contribute almost £90bn net to GDP; it accounts for one in 11 jobs, a rate rising more quickly than all other parts of the economy. There are a large number of these jobs that are also among the least likely to be

lost to automation. Employment in the creative industries is still rising, compared to the decline in financial services.
We have seen a rise in demand for specialist talent across many disciplines in performance marketing around big data & analytics and also digital designers. There has been an increase in brands pushing for greater transparency and control of their marketing and as a result they are bringing their talent in-house.

HIRINGThe majority of companies are actively hiring and around 65% are recruiting for multiple roles either on a permanent or freelance basis.
PAY INCREASES There has been significant pay increases across all disciplines, either by progression within the samecompany or by moving jobs. The highest pay rises were witnessed in digital design (43%) and performance marketing (40%) above the national average of 3%. There were modest increases in project management, marketing and PR.
WHY DO PEOPLE LEAVE THEIR JOBS?By far the biggest reason for people wishing to leave their jobs was due to limited career progression in their current role, followed by remuneration.
TRENDSAutomation, voice recognition, AI and augmented reality are all expected to grow. Simplicity in design, moving talent in-house and greater diversity are all featured as important trends. There is also a desire for more flexible working.
BENEFITSThere is a rising need for a better work-life balance which has become increasingly more desirable for all, with flexible working the most sought after benefit. This was favoured even over a bonus.
EDUCATIONThose in the industry are well-educated – around 84% have a degree or Masters.
BUDGETSBudgets are highest in digital marketing – 37% of our survey working in digital marketing have a budget of £1million+.
The survey was compiled by Major Players using data collected from
respondents combined with insight gathered from senior consultants. The table represents an overview of job levels and salary averages in all listed disciplines.
