Advertising and media staff set to be disappointed with their pay rises, salary survey finds

Top end staff in the advertising and media sector are being optimistic about their chances and size of a salary increase this year says recruitment company Hays.

The 2018-19 Hays Salary Guide survey of more than 3,000 organisations found that while 6% of employees in the sector were expecting a 10%+ pay rise, only 4% of employers were planning to give such increases.

However, despite the mismatch, advertising and media still topped the list of those likely to see some sort of payrises, with 13% of employers planning salary increases of 6% or more in their next review. Professional services (11%), construction, property & engineering (9%), IT & telecommunications and hospitality, travel & entertainment (both 8%), and financial services and mining, resources, energy and oil & gas (all 7%), all came behind.
