Spring update
Spring is always a positive time but it’s truly like a switch has been flicked after a challenging Q4. The pipeline of new marketing, digital and technology roles is strong. We’re especially seeing an increase in new roles at Head-of and Director-level – particularly interim roles – and while the Chief-of level still remains slow, that’s also moving in the right direction.
In addition to onboarding some brilliant new clients and welcoming exceptional candidates, we have been busy with several other activities here at SWES HQ. In January, I met with a high-calibre, vibrant and engaged group of Chief Marketing Officers at our networking breakfast at The Delaunay, London. Our next event takes place on Friday 26th April with our first mixed group of Chief-of candidates in marketing, digital and technology roles. Additional dates will be shared in the summer.
In February, we were delighted to be featured in the February issue of theHRDIRECTOR magazine – an independent, thought-led publication for senior HR practitioners – where I shared my views on achieving true parity. I also wrote an article for the March issue where I talked about changing career mindsets.
We have released several new episodes of our popular Q&A series including John Bernard, Global Marketing & Sales Leader for Malvern Panalytical; Ben Rhodes, Brand Director at Phoenix Group; Dom Dwight, Strategy & Innovation Director at Bettys & Taylors of Harrogate; Russell Parsons, Editor-in-Chief at Marketing Week and the Festival of Marketing, Stephen Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer; Zain Richardson, Founding Partner of Crecito; and Jill Dougan, Chief Marketing Officer. A big thank you for everyone who has taken part to date and we look forward to sharing more professional insights and experiences in the months ahead. If you would like to be a guest in the series, do please email jade@swexecsearch.co.uk
