Marketing salaries vary widely, and it’s not always a high-paying field right out of grad school—but top schools and certain roles can shift that quickly.
In the U.S., grads from schools like NYU Stern or USC Marshall often start at $70,000 to $80,000. Mid-tier programs usually lead to roles in the $55,000 to $65,000 range. Students entering marketing analytics or digital growth roles, especially in tech companies, tend to earn more than those in traditional brand or content marketing.
In Asia, starting salaries range between $30,000 and $40,000, with quicker growth for students fluent in local languages. Some companies also offer signing bonuses or first-year performance bonuses, which aren’t always reflected in the base salary. Internships, especially at firms like Unilever or Meta, often lead to full-time offers with better pay and stronger career paths.
