The Go-To Marketing Recruiter in Cardiff
Recruiting marketing talent in Cardiff has changed. Posting an advert and waiting rarely works when the best marketers are already employed and constantly approached.
At Coburg Banks, we've spent over two decades recruiting across Cardiff's media, agency and digital marketing scene. We know where the strong performers are, and how to get them interested in your opportunity.
Proper Local Knowledge
From broadcast and media to the city's agencies and in-house teams across Cardiff and South Wales, we understand the local market. We understand what different employers and agencies need from a hire, and what tends to go wrong.
Candidates You Won’t Find Yourself
The best marketers in Cardiff aren't scrolling job boards. They're already delivering somewhere else. We reach them through our network and proactive outreach, so you see people you wouldn't find on your own.
Quick, But Never Careless
Our average time to hire is 29 days. We move fast because an unfilled marketing role stalls campaigns and pipeline, but we never send someone who isn’t right just to fill a gap.
A Guarantee That Actually Means Something
Every placement comes with a three-month replacement and rebate guarantee. If it doesn’t work out, we sort it.
If you’re hiring marketers or marketing managers in Cardiff, let’s have a conversation.
We also recruit markering professionals across the whole of the UK.

Got any unanswered questions?
It would be totally unnatural if you hadn’t. Here’s a few of the more common FAQs we get asked. And if you’ve got any more that we don’t answer below, get in touch and ask us.
Do you recruit marketing professionals in Cardiff?
Yes, we’ve been recruiting marketing professionals in Cardiff since 2002. We cover every type of marketing role, from Marketing Executives and Managers through to Heads of Marketing and Marketing Directors. We use Teams, Zoom and face-to-face meetings to vet every candidate before presenting them, so you only meet people who are right for the role.
What types of marketing role do you recruit for?
We cover every level of seniority and every marketing discipline. That includes Marketing Executives and Managers, Digital, Content, SEO, PPC, Social Media, Email and CRM Managers, Brand and Product Marketing Managers, Campaign, Communications and Events Managers, E-commerce Managers, Marketing Analysts, Heads of Marketing and Marketing Directors. Across brand, digital, content and product marketing, we recruit for it.
How quickly can you fill a marketing vacancy?
Our average time to hire across marketing roles is 29 days. We typically have a shortlist of vetted, interviewed candidates with you within a few days of receiving your brief. We can move quickly because we have immediate access to thousands of active and passive marketing candidates, so we’re not starting from scratch every time.
How much does marketing recruitment in Cardiff cost?
Our fees typically range between 15% and 25% of the candidate’s basic salary, depending on seniority and complexity. We give you a clear figure upfront, and we cap our fees, so if you have to offer a higher salary to secure your ideal hire, our fee stays the same. You don’t pay anything unless we find someone you actually hire.
What happens after I get in touch?
We’ll get back to you within 20 minutes to have a quick chat about your role. We’ll ask about the skills, experience and personality you need, the kind of marketer who would thrive in your business rather than just tick boxes on a spec. Then we get to work, and you’ll typically have a shortlist within a few days. No pressure, no hard sell.
Why should I use a recruitment agency instead of hiring directly?
You can recruit directly, and many companies do. But the best marketers in Cardiff are rarely actively looking. They’re already delivering somewhere else and won’t respond to a job advert. We reach these passive candidates through years of relationship-building and proactive outreach, giving you access to talent you would never find on your own, while your campaigns and pipeline aren’t left waiting.
Do you offer a guarantee on your placements?
Yes. We operate a replacement and rebate scheme on every placement we make. If you have to dismiss a candidate within the first three months, we’ll either find you a replacement or refund a proportion of the fee. It gives you complete peace of mind, and it means we’re as invested in getting it right as you are.
When do I have to pay the fee?
Not until your new hire starts work. There’s nothing to pay upfront, nothing on shortlist, nothing on interview. Our fee only becomes due once the successful candidate is at their desk working for you, so the risk sits with us, not you.
See how Coburg Banks can help transform your marketing team.
Take the pain, hassle and hours out of marketing recruitment. Free up your time, hire the best marketing professionals, and make your business more productive than it’s ever been before.
