State of the Industry

By Karine Lionnet, head of recruitment for creative services jobs

With pitch winning becoming “make or break” in 2009, we saw a massive increase in demand for marker visualisers and in 2010, the trend will continue, with a growing emphasis on 3D visualisers.
 
Artworkers are still in healthy demand, but clients are increasingly requesting multi-skilled candidates who can also cross over to design and retouching. Project managers who can show a creative flair are also finding themselves being snapped up, as are producers who can work across any and all media.
 
We’re starting to see some healthy growth (especially in freelance) as the economy turns the corner and the client driven market of 2009 is beginning to come back to a more equal footing.
