OMD is a global communications organisation, which has been named the "most creative media agency in the world" for the fifth year in a row, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.

74 per cent of respondents saying they love the idea of working for themselves. The reasons - yearning for greater flexibility, the thrill of working in an area of personal interest and the potential to earn more money.

According to the respondents, nothing is more important than a company's reputation; a bland brand is a turn-off. An organisation's culture is the second-most attractive feature, and the ability of an employer to provide an adequate work/life balance comes in at third.

The study also revealed that when given a choice between working for a not-for-profit and a luxury brand, twice as many people chose the not-for-profit.
