Let's talk about creative salaries.

How much are the top CCOs and ECDs making in London? What does this career max out at in this city?

And on a more realistic note, what can a solid CD expect to make? Someone with a fair selection of major awards but not necessarily an elite superstar.

100k for a CD. Curious about others

2nd yr CD. Big shop. Big accounts. Lots of international awards. I am definitely underpaid.

CDs vary widely.

If you’ve been newly promoted internally from senior or ACD then you might be sitting at 90k-100k.

If you’ve just won a Grand Prix and have moved on you could be on 100k-150k as a CD.

If you’re a Global CD / Creative Partner on a large global account then you’re sitting at 150k-200k.

CCO pay varies a lot. Probably looking at 250k-500k. Depends if you have a big bonus or a partnership (e.g. Mother).

This is all agency side btw.

The goal should be to get to CD then go client side as their internal Head of Creative. You’re then looking at CCO money for less hours, with a bonus and great perks.

Extremely interesting and helpful mate. Thank you.

You mentioned Mother. Their partners were paid £300,155 in 2021 and £469,000 in 2020. I'm guessing this is on top of whatever salaries they receive for their actual role in the business.

Eeesh I’m staying in the States. That’s low

Does this vary massively between art and copy? If you’re a copy CD, can you expect to earn less?

Just got a job offer with CVS. To say the least I’m super excited to work for an Fortune 5 company. However, the job offer 1k less than my current company, but I thought this will be boost my growth and experience. Was my choices a smart move? Has anyone took a job that the pay was less than your current company ? Also, any insight with CVS and how I can advance my career there will be greatly appreciate.
