"The most professional recruitment agency I've ever worked with. Robert Scott was extremely proactive and send me a detailed briefing before each interview, ensuring I was well prepared. He actually took the time to understand me and made an effort to match me with companies that were suited to my skills, experience and values."

Description of Marketing Executive

Marketing executives (or marketing officers and marketing managers) are responsible for growing a brand and communicating with its audiences. Marketing executive tasks vary depending on the company and the specific role within it. Many marketing executives can expect to dip their toes in:

Marketing Executive Salaries

According to Glassdoor (2018), the average marketing executive salary is around £25,000, and can reach as high as £34,000 depending on seniority and experience. Marketing graduates can often earn higher starting salaries than those in other fields, but many marketing roles offer a commission scheme, with scope to earn more.

What makes a good marketing executive?

A good marketing executive is not only organised, but incredibly driven—they need to never settle and always be looking to improve a brand's offering. Any role in brand growth requires this.

Marketing executives need great communication skills, as they often have to liaise with multiple departments, and must be experts on the ins and outs of their chosen industry.
