Brand Manager Jobs

Brand managers are business strategists, deciding the directing and development of a brand within an organisation. A brand manager has many spheres of influences, and occupies various roles blurring marketing, PR, sales and product development.

Brand Manager Salary

The average salary for a brand manager in London comes to around 35K, and this also applies to the South East. In general, even at the lower end of the scale brand managers earn over £20,000 per year. It also depends on sector, with brand managers in IT earning more than their compatriots in retail (for example).

No better time to get into Brand Management

Recent surveys have suggested that the demand for brand managers has increased, as the FMCG sector has grown and salaries for senior positions have risen by under 10%. The technology and pharmaceutical sectors, along with retail and FMCG, readily employ brand managers, given the sensitive and vulnerable nature of brand image within these industries.

As senior positions have increased in popularity, though, so have junior assistant positions appeared, which are excellent roles for those looking for experience in profitable industries with, often, huge brand presence.
