Market Research & Thought Leadership
Our proprietary research identifies emerging workforce trends before they become mainstream, providing actionable intelligence to professionals and newsrooms worldwide.
Job Hugging
Our analysis of the “Job Hugging” phenomenon, where 75% of workers are staying put during economic volatility, was featured in Forbes as a defining characteristic of the 2025-2027 labor market.
Read Forbes coverageStealth Taxes
Co-founder Josh Peacock was featured by GB News and Birmingham Mail as an expert voice on the “stealth tax trap,” warning that workers avoiding promotions to escape higher tax brackets could “quietly sabotage their future far more than the extra tax ever could.”
Read GB News coverageGhost Jobs
We're committed to bringing transparency to “ghost jobs,” positions posted with no intention to hire. Industry research shows 53% of job applicants experience employer ghosting, a practice that wastes seekers' time and undermines trust in recruitment.

Generic job boards and salary sites treat all marketing roles the same. But we know a Performance Marketing Manager and a Brand Strategist have completely different compensation structures and career paths.
SalaryGuide is built exclusively for marketing professionals, with specialized salary data, curated job listings from top companies, and AI tools designed to help you navigate your marketing career.

Josh Peacock
Co-Founder
Author & Strategic Advisor
“We founded SalaryGuide.com to be the tool I wish I had while building teams throughout my recruiting career. After years of seeing how information gaps and ‘Ghost Jobs’ frustrate job seekers, I realized that professionals don't need more data. They need clarity. We've built SalaryGuide.com to give marketers the transparency they need to make confident career decisions.”
Dmitrii Anikin
Co-Founder
Former VP of Paid Media & Performance Architect
“My background in paid media taught me that data is only valuable when it's relevant and actionable. I've brought that same mindset to SalaryGuide.com. We focus on the trends that actually matter to marketers, from compensation shifts to hiring patterns, so professionals can make informed decisions about their careers.”

How We Build the Guide
We combine hands-on recruiting experience with data analysis to help marketing professionals understand their market value.
Recruiting Experience
Our founders have spent years in talent acquisition and performance marketing, giving them firsthand insight into how compensation works beyond the job listing. We understand the variables that matter: bonuses, equity, and retention incentives that generic job boards often miss.
Data Collection
We aggregate salary information from job postings, user submissions, and public sources. Our focus on marketing roles means we can identify patterns and benchmarks specific to the industry, rather than lumping all professionals into generic categories.
Trend Analysis
We track workforce trends and macroeconomic factors that affect marketing salaries. By staying close to the market and analyzing shifts in hiring patterns, we help professionals understand not just what roles pay today, but where compensation is heading.
