Struggling to Hire Marketers in Newcastle? You’re Not Alone

Supply Doesn’t Match Specialism

Newcastle produces great creative talent, but employers increasingly seek marketers with highly specific expertise, like B2B SEO, data-led content marketing, or paid media optimisation. Finding those with both experience and specialism can be tough.

Salary Disparities with Bigger Cities

Many marketers based in Newcastle are tempted by remote opportunities from London or Manchester firms offering higher pay. Local businesses must emphasise career progression, culture and mission to stay competitive.

Agency-to-In-House Transitions

With many candidates starting in Newcastle’s vibrant agency scene, in-house roles can bring challenges. Not all marketers have experience managing internal stakeholders or aligning with broader business goals.
