DBA Annual Survey Report launch 2020 | DBA Member webinar
2020 has seen unprecedented business challenges on a global scale. With economic uncertainty set to continue as we look ahead into next year – financial planning has never been so crucial. But where to start? How do design businesses plan for 2021?
Financial planning is not predicting the future, it’s about being prepared 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.
Thursday 8 October at 3pm will see the launch of the 2020 DBA Annual Survey Report via a special 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 during COVID-19
- Income per head, charge out, utilisation and recovery rates
- Salary levels and staff benefit packages
- Gender and ethnic diversity
Esther will give insight into how to apply these valuable findings to your business. The DBA Annual Survey Report is the most valuable tool you will find to help you plan effectively for 2021.
