Here’s how much marketers are getting paid
Full-time marketing coordinators in Australia are being paid a salary of up to $75,000 – but if they add ‘digital’ to the job title, that rate jumps up to $90,000, according to new industry salary data.
The Australian marketing sector might have seen a major pay increase after the pandemic, but it seems companies are gradually returning to their pre-pandemic salary benchmark.
According to an annual report from iknowho, a specialist marketing recruitment agency, the average CMO is taking more than $260k in annual salary (all salary figures exclude superannuation).
I was getting $45k as an Account Executive in 2004, apparently with inflation that’s about $77k today. So that means the pay for Account Executives has just kept up with inflation over the last 20 years. Meanwhile the cost of housing and food has exploded high above inflation. Problem…
My first account executive junior role with a major consortium paid $34,000 including super in 2008.. that is $528.26 per week after tax
In today’s dollars, that would be around $47,173 / $713.27 per week. Good luck living on that
