Now, Next & Not about the number of days
In Q4 2023, Liberty Hive and Work Research conducted the largest-ever survey of the UK media industry—gathering insights from over 750 professionals across agencies, media owners, and brands.
Rather than focus solely on office days, the report explores deeper attitudes around flexible working, career priorities, and the growing disconnect between what employees want and what employers think they want. While flexibility matters, employees are seeking a more rounded offer beyond salary alone.
As Justin Gibbons, Founding Partner at Work Research, notes: “It’s the most in-depth survey we’ve ever run—offering real insight into the future of work in media.”

Historically considered a taboo topic, discussing salary openly empowers both candidates and employers to make informed, confident decisions.
