What does a Toronto based CCO even make anymore? I think there probably was at time there were people in the 400s but is that still the case?

400 is the floor for most holdco CCOs. Indies depends… could be a bit less or a lot more.

Sorry to disappoint but they really are. See my earlier post. Firsthand knowledge. Judy is likely over 500.

True, Judy probably is over 500 for sure. But I don’t think you can really consider her a Canadian CCO she lives here but she’s a global CCO.

Insight

0% chance any CCO’s in Canada are making 400 anymore. Around 2015 sure, but there aren’t really any “big” agencies left in this market even if they’re part of a holdco.

Most CSO’s / Heads of Strategy are around $250. I would imagine CCO rate is around 250-300 excluding bonus.

In my head of role I was making just over $300k

Just look at what the agency bills. Then ask yourself if the head of the agency making x sounds unreasonable.

funny

What does “reasonable” have to do with anything?

And few people know how much their agency bills, outside of finance and accounts.

Ya I feel like around 2010 the numbers I heard thrown around were wild but would assume even the top has to take a haircut these days.

lol. No CCO is making 400k. Maybe and that’s a big maybe for the legacy and older ones. Like a Judy John. Brian, Jordan etc. are not making 400k. SOME agency CEOs making close to 400k, I’m talking about holdcos here.

Hi fishes,
My LWD is 18th July and I chose vendor pickup for my assets(expected pickup is 10th July).
Is there any limitation or chances of facing issues on Not having laptop with me(for other exit clearances).
Also it would be great if someone can give guidance on exit clearances as I'm worried that I will miss out something.
TIA.
