A really really good account person global job high stress 350-400. A superb strategist but not head of the department maybe tops out around 250. Head of dept closer to 300 at a big agency. Creatives - famous 500k-1m. Creatives super solid but not famous top out around 250 to 300 in big consumer shop. Everyone else lower.

Personally, $200k but I've seen CCO make $500k and CEO earn $1MM* base. Takes a certain personality to make that.

Freelancers have no insurance, 401k matching, paid days off or any other benefits to go along with - so be careful what u wish for. Cheers to all those who are doing it. From what I have seen and I have been doing this a while, if you are a managerial employee (clock in like everyone else) the most you can expect to make is about 300k + bonus. It’s all a function of your hourly billable rate. If you are at the corporate level (ceo, cmo. Etc) your pay remains about the same but your bonus can match your salary, stock options and whatever else I can get for delivering revenue and growth.
