Depends on location, agency size, etc. To get a good gauge, reach out to a local recruiter. They're pretty well versed in comp packages and welcome the conversation as a future client to be placed.
What city?
NYC
Copy supervisors can command around $100k in NYC maybe $110k if you can write HCP well - potentially even more if you don’t need hand holding to write HCP messages etc. If you’re an HCP writer (and you can do it pretty well) aim high . If you just do DTC then closer to $100k seems right.
Sr. CW closer to $85k-95k depending on your experience and if you can write HCP well. If you can’t closer to $85k.
As a Sr. AD I make less than that. Not that it matters.
Art directors usually do - only in pharma tho - especially if a writer brings that HCP skill set.

I’ve seen CW range from 50-80k and SCW range from 65-95k
These seems right, maybe a little higher depending on experience. Sr CW can go into the 100s and copy sup up to 125-130. Then group copy sup 130-155ish.
