Help marketers get paid what they’re worth (and maybe win £250)

Think you’re being underpaid but don’t have any proof? Take the Econsultancy Career and Salary survey today to help us find out key workplace trends for 2016.

Whether you’re a marketer, creative, designer or PR, the information you provide will help create a solid industry benchmark for the year ahead.

Most importantly, however, we’ll enter you into a prize draw to win £250 of Amazon vouchers.

Why it matters

The roles in and around marketing are changing, and the field has become much more diverse. Remuneration packages and career paths of the past can’t therefore be applied to 2016’s workforce.

But in order to support that argument we first need to fully understand the current state of the industry.

By taking this survey you’ll help create a benchmark against which you and your fellow marketers can make a strong case for fair pay, benefits and opportunities.

How to take the survey

Just click this link to the survey and follow the instructions.

It should take no longer than five minutes. Without procrastination I reckon you could do it in four.

At the end you’ll see details on how to enter the prize draw for a chance to win £250 in Amazon vouchers.

The results

Towards the end of January 2016 we’ll publish the results of the survey.

We’ll also provide a salary calculator along with the findings so you’ll be able to find out how your earnings compare with others in the industry.

The prize draw will take place on 15 January and the winner will be notified within 14 days.

Thank you in advance, and good luck!

Check out the results of last year’s survey in this Marketing Week article.

Talk like a human, for business’s sake

Let’s face it, it’s not too unusual to run into corporate communications that feel impersonal and distant from a customer’s point of view.

So, it’s no coincidence that agencies use the word ‘humanising’ over and over again when providing advice on brand messaging.

Putting aside any possible scepticism towards the seemingly volatile concept, humanising customer interactions must be the ultimate mission of any modern brand, which should empower its brave employees to shake off any robotic feel customers may perceive in their interactions with the company.

Do you need a Chief People Officer?

What’s in a name? HR by any other name would still send poorly formatted emails.

Sorry, that was a cheap shot. But seriously, language is a very powerful agent for organisational change.

Read the fantastic story of Travelex’s digital transformation and you’ll know one of the many principles championed by Sean Cornwell was to ‘talk about speed, agile, failure, new capabiltiies, ways of working and collaboration like it’s going out of fashion.’

Can the mere naming of a Chief People Officer (CPO) be a totemic act? How have organisations rejigged their HR departments and why?

How alumni could help HR combat the digital skills shortage

What if trying to retain your staff was missing the bigger picture?

What if, as the cliché goes, loving something means letting it go?

Well, that’s what forward-thinking HR departments are starting to understand, creating alumni groups to learn from past employees and their networks.

Perhaps this could be an important strategy to improve recruitment of digital skills in the ongoing skills shortage?
