The Go-To Marketing Recruiter in Newcastle
Recruiting marketing talent in Newcastle 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 the growing agency and digital marketing scene across Newcastle and the North East. We know where the strong performers are, and how to get them interested in your opportunity.
Proper Local Knowledge
From the region's agencies to ecommerce and in-house teams across Tyneside, we understand the North East's marketing talent. 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 Newcastle 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.

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 marketers in Newcastle?
Yes. We have recruited marketers across North East since 2002, from marketing executives through to marketing directors, for SMEs and established organisations alike. Whether you need a single hire or a whole marketing team in Newcastle, we can help, and we will know the local market you are hiring into.
What do marketing roles pay in Newcastle?
As a 2026 guide for North East: Marketing Executive £31k, Social Media Manager £38k, SEO Manager £47k, Brand Manager £47k, Marketing Manager £47k and Head of Marketing £70k. North East pay is typically 5% below the UK average. The table above shows the full ranges, and we are happy to benchmark the exact role you are hiring.
How much does it cost to hire in Newcastle?
It depends on the role, mainly how senior the position is and how hard it is to fill, so we don't quote a one-size-fits-all number. We would rather talk it through with you on a quick call and agree a clear, fixed fee upfront before we start any work, with no surprises later. The one thing we can promise now: there is nothing to pay unless you actually hire someone we introduce. Give us a call and we will give you a straight answer for your specific role.
What kinds of role do you recruit for?
The full marketing mix. Marketing executives and coordinators, social, content, SEO, PPC, email and CRM specialists, digital and brand managers, product marketing, through to Marketing Manager, Head of Marketing and Marketing Director. In-house or agency, permanent or interim.
How quickly will we see a shortlist?
Usually a shortlist of vetted, interviewed marketers within days of your brief. We know the marketing market and keep close to strong candidates, so we are not starting cold, and you only see people we have spoken to and rate rather than a pile of applications.
How do you reach people who are not job-hunting?
The strongest marketers are usually delivering results somewhere else, not scrolling job boards. We reach them through relationships built over two decades, referrals and direct approaches, so your shortlist is people you actually want, not just whoever is on the market this week.
What happens if the hire does not work out?
Every placement comes with a three-month rebate and replacement guarantee. If it does not work out in the first three months, we either find you a replacement or refund a share of the fee. We would far rather get it right first time, but the guarantee means the risk sits with us, not with you.
When do we actually pay?
When your new hire starts, and nothing before. No charge to brief us, nothing on shortlist, nothing at interview. Our fee is only due once the right person is in post and working. If we do not find someone you hire, it has not cost you a penny.
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.
