If you’re talking someone with 1.5-4 (or 5) I’d say anywhere from $60K-$80K. Lower end generally at smaller agencies and higher end usually at bigger agencies - NYC. AA1’s response is way too high for advertising mid-level strategists (unless you’re lucky I guess?). That’s leaning more toward a senior strategist salary.

Sometimes career transitioners can jump more quickly. If you have a career or two behind you, you can connect threads and be client facing more quickly.

$100k for an agency mid level seems high to me unless it’s a brand consulting mid level, which is more like 5~ experience. Mid level at agencies I’ve seen has been more like $70-90k. But if you can negotiate, obviously do it.

Thank you D1!

Moves between 70-100k. Do you have 1-3 years experience, or more like 4-6? Size of agency and type of strategist also matter.

Don’t except less than 100k
