With business needs constantly evolving, marketing recruitment must change with it. According to our data, we saw a 20% increase in salaries between 2021 and 2022, so it's never been more important to benchmark salaries in line with market value in order to attract and retain talent. These unprecedented numbers mean that marketers and digital talent hired in or before 2021 are now likely to be underpaid if they haven’t received a pay rise.
Plus, with more start-ups and global organisations moving into the Greater Manchester area, salaries for digital and marketing jobs will continue to fluctuate as demand for these professionals rises. So, what can companies in the area do in order to attract and retain digital marketing talent?
We've covered why it’s important for hiring managers to benchmark marketing salaries regularly, but how do you do it?

The recruitment market is drastically different to what it was over the past two years. In 2021-2022, the marketing and digital recruitment market was incredibly buoyant, and so many companies took advantage of the busy market, hiring a large number of professionals to expand their teams. Now, we’re starting to see the market transition back to normality. This means that organisations are re-focusing their efforts on the quality of their hires, building strong, effective and impactful marketing and digital teams rather than simply large ones.
Although the market is quieter than before, we’re still partnering with a number of businesses who are ready to take their company to the next level. From start-ups through to global organisations, we’re building industry-leading marketing and digital teams as marketing continues to be invested in across the UK.
Specialist skill sets, such as performance marketing and CRM, continues to be in high demand as marketing teams look to become more specialised, focusing their efforts in specific areas of growth. Hiring for marketing professionals in these areas continues to be a challenge for some as demand remains strong and candidate pools in these areas are smaller than most. Salary benchmarking is especially important for attracting and retaining these skill sets.

Having developed our recruitment practice in the competitive London and North American markets, delivering hundreds of successful recruitment processes, we’re ready to support Greater Manchester with their marketing jobs.
