GroupM - WPP
Can anyone tell why digital marketing and advertising agencies like GroupM and WPP pay so little to their employees. I mean Digital Marketing and Advertising professionals with 5+ years of experience in Brand Management - Client Servicing team doesn't even get 10 lacs. Such big companies with such big clients and that less CTC? I am curious how much a VP or Director level professional would earn in such agencies?
