Is it true that WPP underpays creatives? I interviewed for a CD position at Grey last year and they wouldn't budge past 180K - and ghosted me when I pushed for 200K.

I’ve worked for 3 of the big holding companies. In my experience WPP was the worst as far as promotions, pay, and other benefits

When I worked at Grey we used to ‘laugh’ that WPP stands for why pay people. It was awful in myriad ways. Pay. Culture. Management. Just awful, miserable, stupid place.

I’m struggling at the moment to gauge how much I should be getting paid in my position as i feel I’m heavily underpaid for the work I do, which includes managing digital marketing operations across 12+ countries, manage the studio/creatives plus lead on any campaigns and strategies, etc. I’m also remote UK-based although my company is international. So what do you feel a fair UK wage would be for the role? I love my job/team but the stress isn’t worth it for me atm. Thanks in advance!
