Head of Production here with offices in Sacramento and San Diego, we pay $90K + for that level of producer. You need to ask for more... way more...

No. Should be around 75k

You could produce coffee at Starbucks for that amount.

Hell no! Senior anywhere should be at least 90k. In Chicago, I was up to 135k, but I was at that agency for 16 years.

Seems low

Sounds low but also depends on how many years, Sr Producer is a massive range. Use your old salary as a guide to see if they can increase the comp.

I don’t know Dallas at all, but in other major markets, I’d want to be double that $ for Sr level.

Glassdoor says $72K average. Going up to $104K in Dallas.

Senior, associate, even exec all mean different things depending on the location, type of agency, context etc. $54k for senior anything is low, but maybe it’s not really a senior position. See what more you can learn about it. Some people care more about the title to use as a stepping stone to the next thing than the money.

😱

Hey guys, so I just finished my final interview on Monday (today's Friday) for a company in Norway and was told to wait until next week as they're interviewing this week. It's been a few days and has been replaying the entire interview on my mind wondering if it was alright. What do you do while waiting? I need to take off my mind from worrying - obviously I want this job so badly!

I just listened to an interview of a creative director recount their path towards copywriting at a famous ad agency. It could not have been a more textbook case of failing upwards as a white man.

It would seem the only thing you need to make it as an advertising creative is to have lots of not particularly original ideas. Practically every other skill is unnecessary. If you’re a white man.

That this level of mediocrity passes for talent explains why so many agency briefs are so lame.
