The salary distribution is centered well above six figures, with the median at $108,250, the lower quartile at $72,500, and the upper quartile at $168,000. That placement suggests a wide spread in advertised pay, with compensation clustered around a substantial middle while the upper quartile sits much higher than the median.
Work arrangements were still dominated by onsite postings at 770, alongside 186 hybrid and 81 remote, so remote posting volume remained a minority even as the monthly remote share rose sharply from April to May and then eased slightly in June. The job-type mix also skewed strongly toward full-time advertising, while the repeated tag pattern around business development, sales, lead generation, prospecting, outreach, CRM, and account management points to a market focused on outbound selling and pipeline generation rather than a narrow set of roles.
By employment type: Full Time 1,007 · Part Time 16 · Contract 12 · Internship 2.
