Nearly half of London marketers hunting for new job

New research has found that 44% of London-based marketers aren’t content with their current employment and are looking elsewhere – far exceeding the national average.

According to Reed Marketing & Creative’s annual Salary Study, which surveyed 2,417 industry insiders, an average 20% of UK marketers are also seeking new horizons within the next year.

Comparatively, only 29% managers admitted to worrying about losing talented individuals from the organisation – despite the dizzying numbers of discontent marketers.

In addition to job satisfaction, research further found that creative directors in London made between £55,000 – £85,000, while digital account directors were on salaries between £45,000 and £80,000.

Catherine Maskell, head of marketing at Reed, credits the escalating job hunt with a strengthening economy – with confidence, marketers are more comfortable to look around.

“What this also reveals, however, is that with security comes confidence, which in turn encourages people to think about their next move, so employers need to be able to respond to this quickly to stop talent jumping ship,” she added.

If you’re a digital marketer with your binoculars out looking for a new job, then take a look at this exciting opportunity.
