The MarketingHire Marketing Jobs Salary Database contains the top and bottom range for a wide range of popular marketing positions in the U.S. It is updated annually and is compiled from taking the top and bottom range for three major US salary survey databases.  When using the database, it is important to keep in mind that salaries reflect a combination of candidate experience, the competitive marketplace for talent (the supply and demand for qualified candidates), location, company size, direct reports managed and other factors. For example, a top, highly experienced job candidate in a role in a large city with a highly competitive market for that role with more open positions than qualified local candidates is likely to be near the top of the salary range whereas a professional with less than two years experience in a role, not in a major city, in a less competitive market with a surplus of qualified candidates is more likely to be at the lower end of the salary range.  The current database was compiled in January 2020. Updates will occur regularly throughout the year. Planned updates include additional roles and average salaries.
