Marketing contractors will be pleased to learn that roles within the sector are in high demand as organisations increasingly look towards outsourcing.
According to the Association of Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo), marketing roles within agencies increased 35% year-on-year to March 2018.
Based on data from Vacancysoft, the findings reveal that while Greater London has been the leading location for marketing vacancies with a combined total of 58%, the fastest growth was found in other regions, with the North West, West Midlands and North East seeing vacancy increases of 35%, 41% and 22% respectively.
Ann Swain, chief executive of APSCo, commented on the report,“The continued rise in marketing vacancies comes as no surprise. In the digital age investment in marketing is business imperative as organisations vie for the attention of increasingly fragmented audiences. No longer confined to big business, now even relatively small companies are investing in building brand awareness to boost revenues.”
“Rather than bring talent in-house, many companies are choosing to outsource to focus on core business, solve capacity issues, cut costs and bring in expert skills to enhance service quality.”
“Equally, in terms of geography, significant vacancy growth outside of London is not unexpected. The North West and Midlands are well established regional hubs for creative skillsets, with Salford for example, home to MediaCityUK and other specialist agencies.”
