SALARY SURVEY: What Digital Agency Creatives And CEOs Earn Right Now
Every year, the Global Society for Digital Marketing (SoDA), and industry group that represents people who work at online and interactive ad agencies, surveys its members to find out what they earn.
The good news: six-figure salaries are not uncommon in digital adland.
The bad news: top-level compensation declined recently.
SoDA represents 60 digital agencies, including SapientNitro, Huge, and Big Fuel.

SODA won’t say how many executives filled out their survey. But most who were asked did so.

New ‘GTA V’ Screens Show Extreme Action and a Beautiful Game World
The game world of Grand Theft Auto V will feature weather, beautiful sunsets and extreme environments, according to screenshots released by Rockstar Games Wednesday morning

They also give us an idea that the expansive game world of Los Santos, said to be the largest Rockstar has ever produced, will feature weather events, though it’s not apparent if those will affect gameplay.
