Built by marketing specialist recruiters. For marketers. Because the system was rigged.
SalaryGuide is the career intelligence platform built only for marketers. Real pay data, real negotiation prep, a sniper application strategy, and the recruiter playbook the hiring manager already has. Made by the people who run the recruiting, given to the people doing the work.
As Seen In
We Built the Tool We Wished Existed
After 5 years placing marketers at companies you've heard of, we kept hearing the same 3 questions:
Is this salary competitive?
Is this a good place to work?
How do I stand out?
So we built SalaryGuide. A career intelligence platform that gives marketers the data, the tools, and the coaching the other side of the table has always had.
One Platform. Every Tool You Need to Win.
Salary Data
Real pay data from real marketers. Search by role, company, and location to know exactly what the market is paying.

Curated marketing roles from the companies worth working for. Filter by remote, agency vs. in-house, and experience level.

Built exclusively for marketers. No noise from unrelated industries, just the data, roles, and insights that matter to your career.
View CompaniesCareer Tools
Edge is live. The full career toolkit for marketers in an active job search, negotiation, or offer moment. Voice rehearsal, tailored CVs, hiring-team outreach, LinkedIn rewrite, personalized salary report. $19 for 7 days. $129 for 90 days. One negotiation pays for it many times over.

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.

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.”

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.

Built by Josh Peacock, CEO and founder of Search For Hire and host of the Agency Growth Club podcast. 5 years on the inside of marketing recruitment. $15M+ in negotiated marketing salaries. 150+ marketers walked into better offers than they walked in with. SalaryGuide is what every one of them wished they'd had in their pocket from the start.

“I've spent 5 years recruiting marketers. I built SalaryGuide because the same 3 problems kept showing up. Marketers don't know what they should be paid. They don't know how to stand out. And they walk into negotiations with no rehearsal. Edge is the answer to all 3.”
