After nine months of data collection, the SEMPO and ClickZ 2013 Salary Survey results are in. An annual endeavor, the 20-question survey asked 2,180 in-house and agency digital marketers to discuss their careers including questions on background experience, salary, responsibilities, internal policies, budgets, and compensation perks.
“Organizations need to establish competitive and effective compensation plans, so it is important for them to have quality information about what others are paying for employees in similar positions. […] It’s also a great barometer for discovering whether the industry is confident about the coming year.” said Melanie White, Special Projects Editor at ClickZ.
Some interesting takeaways from the survey:
- From 2011 to 2013 the average salary across the board has decreased from $ 75, 543 to $ 68,600.
- Holistic marketing that includes a combination of organic and paid has grown by 11%.
- 64% of respondents say they report up through the marketing department rather than to a search or IT department.
