Super late response, but a design director in Minneapolis should make well over $100k. I’m a senior art director and I’m at $110k, although I work for a huge agency so they can pay a lot more. But director level should be well over $100k even at smaller shops. Bigger agencies should put you at $120-140k
Designer or Art Director? I can’t speak for other areas but in most Midwest shops, senior designers are lower title than senior art directors, and $85k may even be on the high end for a senior AD in MPLS.
I’ve done a bit of research and think I’ll ask for $85k. Does this sound about right?
Design Director — but trying to figure out what the salary range is for designers in Minneapolis. Since the job market is smaller, I’m thinking I may have to take a lower level role if I want to move quickly.
