How to benchmark and set the salary

1. Start with the market range
For a Marketing Analyst, that's roughly £35k to £55k base. Pitch too low and you won't get replies; too high and you overpay.

2. Adjust for experience
Use the bands in the table above - entry, experienced and senior - rather than one figure, and match the level you actually need.

3. Factor in location
London and the South East add 10-20%. A regional or remote role can be pitched a little lower for the same calibre.

4. Add the incentive
A performance-related bonus of around 10-20% is typical for a Marketing Analyst, on top of base. Candidates compare total earnings, so lead with the package, not just the base.

5. Move at the right speed
Strong candidates have options. A competitive offer made quickly beats a slightly higher one that drags.
