Our new global survey is now live. Contribute your 100% anonymous data to benchmark your pay, benefits, and team strategy against thousands of peers.
The communications and investor relations landscape is transforming at a relentless pace. The rise of AI, new demands in ESG, and a permanent shift in how"we work have left professionals and leaders with the same urgent questions:
For professionals: "Am I being valued and compensated fairly for my skills?"
For leaders: "How do we structure our teams, retain talent, and prove our strategic impact?"
Today, we launch the survey for our 2025/26 Global In-House Communications & IR Market Report to answer those questions.
We have designed our survey from the ground up to create the industry's most comprehensive strategic benchmark — not just for individual compensation, but for team structure, talent strategy, and the future of communications and IR.
We need your help to build this vital resource.

For Leaders (CCOs, CEOs & CHROs): A New Strategic Guide
This report is being built for you. We've moved beyond salary data to answer your most pressing strategic questions. The final report will be the only one of its kind to reveal:
Talent & Retention Strategy: What truly motivates talent to stay or leave? What factors are most important to them beyond pay?
Team Structure & Operations: How are best-in-class comms functions structured? We're collecting data on team sizes, reporting lines, budgets, and hybrid work models.
Strategic Impact & Priorities: How is the comms function really measured? We'll provide a C-suite-level view of priorities, from AI integration to employee engagement, ESG and DE&I.
