Combining the most up-to-date salary details, demographic breakdowns and insights, this report is your essential guide to understanding where the creative sector is headed.

A Market on the Move

By the start of 2022, the creative market had almost bounced back to pre-pandemic levels – an incredible coup given the ‘cultural catastrophe’ predicted when the toughest measures threatened one of the UK’s most important sectors.

Great transition is underway with 68% of our respondents either actively seeking, or open to, job change. 69% told us they would leave a job that doesn’t offer flexible work. Of those, 71% did not hold that view before the pandemic.
