SURVEY
2010
Author’s note
The Planning Survey was born because I had a performance eval-
uation coming up and I wanted to know if I was being paid fairly.
Up to that point, I was guilty of what most women apparently do:
not negotiating. But I couldn’t say with any certainty what was
fair.
133 people participated that first year. I got a raise and so did a
lot of the participants. “Don’t you think I’m at least average?” is a
great way to approach those conversations.

% of people
With 2.1% (34 out of 1578) people out of work this year, compared months out of work
to 2.5% last year, the economy appears to be doing better. More
1-2 35%
than half of these are at the Junior Planner or Planner level. Most
are optimistic, a few are unemployed by choice waiting to find the
perfect gig post-baby or coming off a sabbatical. Planning feels in-

demand even by these folks, so we’ll not see them in line for soup
any time soon.

Wow. Salaries keep pace up until the Head of Planning level. There are twice as many women with this role and yet they
are making 73 cents for every dollar a male Head of Planning makes.

USA
Less than half of the respondents had experience with recruiters. The most popular were:
BRAZIL
Only a few people knew about recruiters that are familiar with planning. The majority of these answers mentioned the
Brazilian Planning Group as the most effective way of finding a new job.
UK
The number of people who know recruiters is still surprisingly low.
Talent Business: “They seem to care about placing you at the right place, not just to get cash, they understand the long game.”
Copper: “Personal relationship, cares and listens.”
Major Players: “They make it their job to improve your interview skills and offer you jobs most suited to your skill set.”
The Garden Partnership: “They seem to want to find you the right role.”
Denise Williams: ”She takes the time to get to know you and only puts you forward for jobs that'd be suitable.”
LizH: “Considered guidance vs whoring me out to everyone who has a vacancy.”

Reasons for leaving your job
Below is an example of a resignation letter based on your survey answers, in order of importance.
“My former boss was a schizofrenic (sic) and wanted me to be part of some obscure cult with him as the idol”
“Planning was a trophy in a cabinet, wheeled out for pitches but never valued or used internally”
“Was stagnant”
“Shitcanned”

Strong planners
In your opinion, which one agency has the strongest planning group?
Making this a closed-end question and offering "don't know" as a choice made it shoot up to the number one response
this year. Not much has changed since last year, except Fallon and Anomaly have swapped places with JWT, and
Ogilvy makes an appearance based on write-in votes. I hope this year I can show you why StrawberryFrog should be
on your list.

Awesome Planners
Last year I asked who we all think are the most respected planners – the ones we’d most want to work for. This year
I asked who we think are the unsung heros. The planners that are too busy being awesome to be famous. This was
not meant to be a popularity contest. In fact, if you misunderstood and put down one of last year’s most famous
planners, I’ve not included them here. This list is a little pat on the back from the planners who work next to you and
notice that you’ve got the goods.

Closing thoughts
I'd love everyone to take a moment and register on the plannersphere wiki (http://plannersphere.pbworks.com).
This is an excellent resource for us all including job postings, book suggestions, and a collection of planner blogs
and twitter IDs. Put that cognitive surplus to some use and make some additions. It's only as good as all of us.
If you have questions about the survey, let us know. The four of us can answer follow-up questions and would
love to know any thoughts that pop into your mind to make it better next year. Follow our Twitter and Blog feeds
for up-to-date survey news, gig alerts, and other interestingness we stumble upon.
