Planning to move to Melbourne soon. Wondering what is the average salary for a senior copywriter or associated CD role? Would it differ between a big agency like Clemenger and a smaller one like The Monkeys? Am slightly worried the 40% taxes will take a big munch of my salary, but don’t want to ask for something ridiculously high either! Thanks :)

What market are you coming from? If you live in the US now the taxes aren’t that different.

The ACD title is American. Creative Group Head is the level above Senior. It’s been a while since I worked there but you should expect 125 - 150K for group head. 180-200 for CD.

Salary won’t vary much between a small agency and a big agency. Simply because big agencies there aren’t huge. Like 70-200 people is considered big (eg DDB, Grey, Saatchi&Saatch, Clemenger, Leo Burnett etc). It’s physically a big county but remember the population is 1/10th of the US.

Get in touch with headhunters before you arrive.

Fantastic, thank you!

My friend was CD at Monkeys couple of years ago. They could at best match his NY pay iirc. It's a smaller market. They'll do the soft sell thing like you're here for the Aussie quality of life etc which is BS. Cost of living is not low either. The standards of living are high. Overall QOL higher than the US for sure.

So I dunno if it works out better even if they match your US pay.

Monkeys is Sydney unless they opened up in Melb. Melb has virtually no advertising scene.


^^^^ this could be very outdated. But I feel generally, cost of living continues to go up and wages in general are depressed so if anything it could've gotten worse 😂
