Get a Big Salary with New Media Jobs in Sales

Applications for new media jobs in sales may be on the rise after research revealed that employees in the industry enjoy large salaries.

A specialist marketing recruitment agency discovered that the average salary for a marketing professional in the UK is £32,005, which is considerably more than the average graduate wage of £25,000.

Marketing directors can look forward to a highest salary of £75,200, while the lowest that a marketing assistant can expect is £19,618.

Recruitment expert Emily King said that there has been a growing demand for new media jobs in sales and marketing during the previous six months, which is a sign that the market is recovering from the recession.

"We have certainly seen the demand for candidates with online marketing experience grow dramatically and this is one area where employers are looking to recruit," she said.

Ms King went onto say that job seekers are willing to relocate in order to get their dream job as some areas in Britain have more new media jobs in comparison to others.

"One thing which is clear is that the market is improving and it appears that candidates are now prepared to move in order to progress their careers," Ms King added.

People on the search for new media jobs in sales would improve their chances of securing employment by moving to London as the capital has the largest number of opportunities on offer.

There is a continuous demand for sales, account management and business development people in an industry which rewards top interpersonal skills with above average salaries.

Candidates looking for new media jobs in sales should ensure that they have persuasive personalities and superior oral and written skills as these abilities are crucial to succeed in the sector.

A successful job applicant will find themselves in an energetic environment with the prospect of rapid promotion and the possibilities for further career advancement in the industry are endless.

New media jobs hit the headlines recently after Channel 4 announced the appointment of its first culture editor.

The broadcaster revealed that it has hired former The South Bank Show executive producer Matthew Cain to take a strategic view of the organisation's cultural output.

Mr Cain told the Guardian: "I used to get very impatient and bored with long-form television, all the hours of talking. I am looking forward to fast turnarounds. I have never been interested in a reverential, worthy approach to the arts."

Research by Sky Broadband revealed that people thought a salary of £100,000 would help them achieve a dream life.
