According to job site Reed.co.uk, job postings in PR and marketing are up 13.39% in Q1 2013.

The site's blog reported over 5,000 new vacancies posted in March according to their Job Index. Regionally, Yorkshire experienced a 95% increase on Q1 2012, while Scotland followed next with growth of 87.5%. Marketers should be encouraged by growth outside of typical strongholds like London and Manchester as the sector strengthens with companies hiring confidently.





Reed managing director, Martin Warnes, said: "While some industries suffered during the recession, marketing and PR opportunities have remained fairly consistent. Businesses are quickly learning the importance of marketing and PR activity in driving sales and this has protected the industries amid the economic downturn."
