What Is the Average Social Media Manager Salary?

According to Built In, the average social media manager salary in the US is $72K USD.

“Between social media managers being more vocal about burnout and pay, and brands navigating backlash online, the importance of social marketers is slowly becoming more clear.

Plus, senior social jobs are starting to list much higher salaries than the average — pointing to a step in the right direction.”

Just listen to TikTok creator and social media manager Amanda reenact a client experience where her role was undervalued:
