If I hit 30 with no awards but have worked with big brands before will I still be paid well? Or only those with awards get the big salary in this industry?

It’s not so much the big brands that matters as much as good work for big brands. And you can get paid lots without any major awards. I’ve never won a cannes or a pencil. But I’m paid 230 a year at a really desirable top 5 agency. I built a good book and get a long with everyone. I’m a dependable hit maker and that’s really all the agency leaders care about.

Now I want to know what market you’re working in because, as a fellow dependable hit maker, I don’t make near this much. 🥲

Awards are great to have and help. But you don’t need them. But you do need good work. It can be on big brands or smaller. But it’s gotta be good.
