Key takeaways from the report

1
2023 has been a challenging year economically, but big brands are continuing to invest healthily in external agencies.
2
At StudioSpace we’ve found the largest investment sectors to include UX/UI design and Social and Content – which dominate the stats in terms of numbers of total briefs.
3
Although most brands have in-house UX/UI designers, we are seeing that the demand for this specialism is outstripping supply, meaning that brands are increasingly employing flexible resourcing models using external agencies to supplement internal capability.
4
The growth in demand for Social Media support is driven by the need for a huge volume of quality content. Brands are also relying on external support to master new channels like TikTok.
5
Other notable specialism investments include the likes of Creative and Production and Proposition Design, as brands seek fresh external thinking to help them propel their brands, products and digital experiences to compete in a market that is constantly changing and evolving.

Our detailed report also includes our predictions for 6 key areas of expected growth in 2024. From AI to hyper-personalisation, the predictions are certainly varied.
