Top tech company marketing salaries: Facebook, Amazon, Google - Business Insider

The US Department of Labor's Office of Foreign Labor Certification releases this information every quarter.The Department of Labor uses these numbers, which include "prevailing wages," or the minimum companies are required to pay for the jobs in question, to protect US employees' wages and prevent educated immigrant labor from being exploited.Business Insider chose some of the most recognizable and influential tech companies by ad spend, revenue, and market share and analyzed the latest available data on permanent green cards and temporary H-1B, H1B1, and E-3 visas to compile a portrait of what they pay employees in marketing roles.These numbers don't include every type of visa or any form of compensation beyond base salary.Spokespeople for all the companies included in this story either declined to comment or did not respond to related requests. The company regularly gets attention for its cinematic campaigns, but stopped disclosing its ad budget to investors in 2016 and dramatically decreased digital marketing spend in 2019.Still, a number of the more than 3,500 visas that Apple received in the most recent quarter were for marketing jobs, from in-house creative directors and designers to content and communications managers.The company also recently expanded its search ad service beyond the App Store, and its revenue increased slightly in the first quarter of 2020 thanks to the enduring popularity of the iPhone despite significant setbacks in both supply chain and consumer demand.These are salaries and salary ranges within Apple's marketing department: CEO Sundar Pichai told investors on the company's first quarter earnings call that business had already started to slow, and in an April memo to employees he said Google would reduce hiring in many areas for the remainder of the year, including "non business essential marketing and travel."Yet the company will remain the single largest player in the digital ad world, and it also received more visas in the most recent quarter than any other company on this list at nearly 11,000, quite a few of which were for international talent in marketing roles. Software is still Microsoft's core product, as reflected by the fact that most of the 6,500-plus visas the company received in the last quarter were for programming and engineering jobs.But Microsoft's ad spend has remained more consistent than some of its competitors during the downturn thanks in part to a large campaign promoting Teams — and dozens of the aforementioned visas were for jobs in its vast marketing department.These are salaries and salary ranges for Microsoft marketing positions, which include disparate pay for jobs with similar titles: Twitter's ad business remains significantly smaller than that of other household tech names, and it received around 360 visas in the most recent quarter.But its marketing team will only have more work on its plate down the line as the company explores a subscription model and additional streams of revenue.Here are some current salaries:
