2021 DBA Annual Survey Report launch | DBA Member-only webinar

Financial planning won’t give you a crystal ball to predict the future; it’s about preparing yourself and your business for what the future might hold by understanding your stress points and identifying opportunities. The key to successful financial planning is data, and for design agencies, the most in-depth and robust data can be found in the DBA Annual Survey Report.

As we emerge from the pandemic we see a design sector that has trimmed down a little in terms of income and headcount – but is perhaps better placed now to take advantage of the opportunities that lie ahead, than ever before. As agencies bounce back how will you plan for different eventualities?

Join us on Wednesday 13 October at 3pm at the launch of the 2021 DBA Annual Survey Report via an exclusive DBA member-only webinar. Esther Carder, Partner at Moore Kingston Smith, will present a detailed analysis of the benchmarking data and trends across key performance metrics affecting design agencies.

She’ll cover:

  • Sector confidence levels as we emerge from the pandemic
  • Income per head, plus charge out, utilisation and recovery rates
  • Difference between agencies based on location or size
  • Salary levels and staff benefit packages as issues around recruiting talent become more commonplace

Esther will give insight into how to apply these valuable findings to your business to prepare you for what lies ahead. The DBA Annual Survey Report is the most valuable tool you will find to help you plan effectively for 2022.

Join us live from 15:00-16:30 on Wednesday 13 October – DBA members click here to login and register.

Running time: 90 minutes. If you have any questions or would like to get in touch in advance of the webinar, please email bookings@dba.org.uk
