Extract from Crandall Associate's annual salary guide
(thanks to Carla Meeske from the department of marketing for providing this information)
For the past several decades, thousands of marketers have used their copies of Crandall Associates' famous annual Salary Guide to kick their bosses into giving them a raise, or to decide when it's time to move on.
We called Crandall's President Wendy Weber to find out if wages are moving upwards, and which types of marketers are the best paid…
-> Salary trends
"Database directors are far and away the most highly compensated sector," Weber says, with salaries ranging from 117K to 142K. "That's actually a wider than average range than other positions we survey."
On the other hand, salaries for catalog copywriters have seen better growth, but were more modest to begin with. Copywriters with four-seven years of experience can expect to earn between 43K-55.8K.
Internet marketing managers with less experience (one to three years) have received only modest increases, while more experienced managers have enjoyed more substantial increases. Their salaries range from 73.8K to 97.6K.
Add 20% to that base if you're looking in a major city, Weber suggests. Take away 5% for smaller markets.
