The best and worst paid sectors for marketers
At the top end of the pay scale are marketers working in automotive, while those in education are paid the least.
Marketers working in the automotive sector have been revealed as the highest paid, according to Marketing Week’s exclusive Career & Salary Survey.
The mean salary for full-time marketers working at automotive brands is £67,846, putting it top of the 24 categories analysed. This is followed by consumer electronics (£67,753) and health and pharmaceuticals (£67,636).
Meanwhile, marketers working in education are paid the least, according to this year’s data, with a mean salary of £50,709.
Paid slightly more, but still at the bottom end of the scale, are those working in travel and leisure (£52,888) and sport (£53,490).
The average salaries for the Career & Salary Survey are calculated from full-time workers (35+ hours a week) providing their basic annual salary, excluding any additional benefits.
