We're happy to announce that our third Performance Marketing Industry Salary Survey is now open. Much like the salary surveys we conducted in 2014 and 2016, the results of this survey give you the opportunity to see how your company salary structure matches up across the industry, among your peers and competitors.

Who Should Participate in the Salary Survey?

Participation in the PMA Salary Survey is voluntary and not restricted to PMA members, but participation will ensure that you receive a copy of the results as soon as the research and analysis is completed.

The survey asks about specific titles (Affiliate Manager, CEO, etc) and groups (ie, technology) and the annual pay or pay ranges for those positions. Obviously, not every question or position will be applicable to your company but we ask that you try to complete the survey as accurately as you can - so that everyone (including you) can benefit from the results as much as possible.

• The person on your team that completes the survey should have access to salary details for your entire company, or the digital marketing arm of your corporation.
• Only one survey per company should be completed.

Any company participating will be given access to the results at the conclusion of the survey.
