At Hanson Search, we specialise in recruiting top talent across the advertising, creative, digital, and market research industries. With over 20 years of experience, we provide employers with market intelligence, hiring insight, and access to high-performing professionals at every level — from junior to boardroom.

At Hanson Search, we partner with clients on their most critical hiring needs – whether that’s permanent leadership roles, specialist freelance briefs, or interim cover for transformation projects. From Digital Directors and Account Directors to communications leadership, we help businesses navigate complexity and build the teams they need for what’s next.

While we are no longer offering the 2019 downloadable salary guide, our consultants are happy to share tailored salary insights and benchmarking data based on current recruitment trends across the UK.

If you’re planning your next Advertising, Creative or Digital hire, considering your next career move or need further insights into the permanent, interim or freelance markets – we’d love to support you.
