London’s marketing managers are least well paid in the country, earning salaries 13.5% lower than the national average for their positions, according to marketing recruiter EMR.

The highest marketing salaries in the country are to be found in the South-East, at an average of £45,400, with East Anglia and Scotland also among the top earners.

Marketing professionals in London at all levels of seniority earn an average salary of £34,600.

Simon Bassett, managing director of EMR, says: “The popularity of the capital means younger professionals are demanding pay hikes to leave and this has pushed average salaries in all regions of the UK to a higher level.

“The good news for London’s marketers is that people rise to manager level relatively quickly in the capital.”
