I’ve seen CD roles listed at 90k - 125k But if you ask my agency (big holding Co.) I think they would probably try and tell you 80k-95k for a new CD. But I know they pay low. Even by London standards. Would love to know the industry average.

I’ve heard from recruiters that there was a rise in CD salaries post Covid but that they’ve dropped now to anywhere from 80/90k and up. But it usually leans toward the lower end. And from what I’ve seen posted, that seems accurate nowadays.

It ain’t great, it ain’t great. Presumably it’s partly because the title has been diluted to not really mean “creative director” anymore so they can justify paying senior/ACD salaries? It now often seems to mean more “yeah we’re pretty senior creatives and we may look after an account with some juniors under us” vs “we essentially run the agency, second to the ECD/CCO”.

~£100k-£200k

Yes (towards the lower end). 2 years as CD. Publicis network.

Big holding company. £100k+

CDs at holding co's should be on around 120k+. If you're being offered less then they're taking you for a ride. Remember, the ad industry has fuck all parity when it comes to wages, so shoot for the moon. If you get lowballed you'll kick yourself when you eventually find out what others are on.

I am writing this message besides the staff group of EY GDS. Specifically Staff -1 at assurance level. I would request everyone to spare few minutes and read it -

Wanted to bring out that staff-1's are paid peanuts (3.33L CTC) please don't expect them to slog 12-13 hours. They don't have enough motivation or incentives to work that long. Seniors,AM's and Managers should be more kind and explain the work to them clearly rather than making last minute changes.
