The survey was completed by 1500 strategists from round the world, working across a range of different types of agency. Full results are available here.

The survey covers pay, job satisfaction and a number of other topics useful for planners looking to either feel smug about how well-paid they are in comparison to their peers, or alternatively demand a raise.

5. JWT

6. Fallon

7. Anomaly

Well done BBH and, of course, massive congratulations to our very own strategic geniuses. You rule. Research proves it.
