Don’t join Publicis now.
Publicis is failing. Do NOT join that sinking ship.
Publicis is the very essence of what is wrong with this business today
They did this in 2023 en masse. Always do it to improve investor profits.
Replacement players. Sad. I want my teammates back! But given this job market, I don’t blame folks who are desperate for taking it either.
Ghost job
Advertising is such a dead-shot job. Go get a real one, like driving an Uber.
Those are probably fake. They’re meant to fool investors and clients alike.
Questions:
WTF is a VP ACD? What happens if there is a VP under a CD who is not a VP? Is it like a hierarchy thing so the ACD is still under a CD but higher than other ACD’s and presumably paid a bit more?
Also what is a good hourly range for an ACD?
I live in South Florida (not Miami though). I have a full time salary position at $135k fully remote. I’d this good for my area? Am I underpaid?
If I made $90 I’d make around $187k but I don’t imagine even CD’s make this in South Florida.
Depends on your location, experience, awards, brands… In NYC/LA the ACD rates are $100-170/hr. Freelance rates are based on it being a non permanent job, no benefits and no unemployment that’s why they’re higher than fulltime rates for same seniority.
Even if you’re making top rates, those gigs can sometimes only last a couple weeks or few days. So you can’t expect a 1 to 1, and that you’ll be making a $250k salary at EOY bc you’re making $125/hr on this one gig. In years when it’s slow, with multiple dry spells, (like the last 2) you may only land a handful of gigs.
