As a field, marketing tends to start entry-level employees at a median annual salary of $30,000, which is slightly higher than the national average.

The variation among actual entry-level salaries, however, can be significant; different specialties can have such vast salary differences that one entry-level marketing career can pay almost double another.

Specialization particularly boosts marketing salaries at the mid-level of a marketing career path. A general brand manager will make about $5,000 less than a package design manager, even though package design is only one part of a brand manager's responsibilities. Marketing salaries at the highest levels of a marketing professional's career only tell part of the story. Stock options, bonuses and other company perks can increase the base salary by 10 percent or more.
