In recent years Aquent's Salary Surveys for the creative and marketing industries have been providing details on salaries, business growth and hiring trends across Europe. Now you can take part in the 2006/07 survey...

For a number of years, Aquent, the world’s largest marketing, creative and IT solutions provider, has been producing a range of surveys covering salaries, business growth and hiring trends across Europe, Asia Pacific and North America.

These have grown into an indispensable tool for any decision-maker operating within the marketing and creative industries.

NMK readers - free copy of survey results

The 13th March sees Aquent’s Salary Monitor Survey for 2006/2007 being launched across Europe and Asia Pacific. This year NMK is partnering with Aquent to add further depth to the survey by offering all its members the opportunity to contribute and receive a free printed copy, when the findings are published later this year.

Last year, Aquent’s Salary Monitor Survey revealed that a high percentage of companies were facing significant challenges in attracting and retaining quality employees, this was against an expected growth in the need for permanent staff of between 28% -77% and freelance staff of up to 50%.

Salaries were increasing for highly skilled people, however, it also showed there to be a general skills shortage across most sectors. 2005 saw a heightened pressure on companies' bottom lines and the need for them to manage their clients’ expectations.

Optimism and staff pressures on a twin-track

Altogether the prediction for 2006 was of optimism for business growth coupled with concerns regarding their staffing capacity to achieve it.

In a more aggressive move, salary benefit and incentive packages are now becoming widely used in the marketing and creative industry for attracting and retaining staff and this year sees the area being reported upon in detail. Further adding to what is already a superior source of reference for decision-makers.
