These figures come from 197 digital marketing postings where the employer stated pay, covering 12 cities. The single best-evidenced figure is Chicago at mid-level, where 23 postings put the middle half between $75,000 and $118,000, with a median of $100,000.

Pay rises with seniority. Typical figures run entry-level around $82,000, mid-level around $95,000, senior around $156,000 and lead around $148,000. Moving from entry-level to lead is worth roughly 82% more.

Location moves the number too. Of the 3 cities with enough disclosures to rank, New York pays most at around $111,000 and Los Angeles least at around $94,000, a gap of roughly 18%.

Every range here is counted from real postings, never modelled. 16 of the 23 US-dollar ranges rest on fewer than 10 postings, so treat those as a hint rather than a benchmark; the sample column tells you which.
