DMCG Global 2026 UK Salary Guide
UK Creative, Marketing, Media and Technology industries.
The DMCG Global 2026 UK Salary Guide is here.
Bringing together indicative salary and freelance or contract day rate benchmarks across the Creative, Marketing, Media and Technology industries.
Built from the day-to-day market knowledge of our specialist recruitment Partners, the guide covers 14 areas of the market, from Executive & Client Services, Creative & Design and Planning & Strategy through to Technology, Microsoft Dynamics 365 & Copilot and Cyber Security.
We deliberately publish our Salary Guide later in the year. Rather than relying on early-year predictions, it gives us more time to see how hiring, salaries and talent demand are actually developing, helping the guide provide a more informed reflection of the market.
Whether you're planning a hire, reviewing salaries or considering your next move, the guide is designed to provide a practical starting point. Salary is only one part of the picture, but understanding what the market looks like today can help employers and talent make better-informed decisions.
