Content strategy – what does it pay?

It seems very little has been researched about content strategy pay rates.

We’re including a salary/rates section in a survey we’re doing in the new year with those in a position to hire. So that we can pitch the survey correctly and avoid ‘it depends’ type answers, we’d really appreciate any input or guidance you have on current salary scales and freelance day rates where you are – you can email me if you prefer to be anonymous: cj @ firehead.net.

Also, is there anything else you would like to ask employers around the rate for the job?

Here are our questions so far:

1. <Salaries>
What is your target pay range for a mid-level salaried content strategist (5-10 years relevant experience)?
a) xxx
b) above xx
c) below xx

2. <Freelance rates>
What is your target day rate for a mid-level freelance content strategist (5-10 years relevant experience)?
a) xxx
b) above xx
c) below xx

3.  <Highest paid skills>
What skills/experience would bump up the pay level?

We’re looking forward to hearing from you!
