Salary Survey


In an effort to help the fine readers of IDOPROMOZ... I'd like to start a dialog on salaries in television promotion.

It all depends on market, station owners, etc... but lets use the anonymous response option - and give out some details on what people make in this business.

Creative Service Directors
Promotion Managers
Writer/Producers
Art Directors

Any info would be great. Be general if you feel you need to. I think it would be very helpful to all of us... the more of us who participate - the better!

Give details such as:

POSITION:
MARKET SIZE:
SALARY:
