Marketing Managers salary in Minneapolis, Minnesota

About 6,670 Marketing Managers work in the Minneapolis metro, making this one of the more sizable concentrations of the role in the Midwest. The median annual wage in 2024 was $169,760, which runs roughly 1.5% above the Minnesota median of $167,250 and about 10% above the national median of $154,215. The metro and state figures are close enough that Minneapolis neither dominates nor trails the statewide picture in any dramatic way. The real story is how Minneapolis collectively punches above the national figure.

The spread across the pay range is wide. The 25th percentile sits at $129,470, meaning a quarter of Marketing Managers here earn less than that. At the 75th percentile, pay reaches $214,150. That gap of roughly $85,000 between the middle and upper ranges reflects how much experience, budget responsibility, and industry sector shape compensation in this role. A manager running brand strategy for a major retailer or financial firm in the metro earns a very different number than someone in a smaller organization.

The mean wage of $177,550 runs about $7,800 above the median. That tells us a smaller group of higher earners pulls the average up, so the median is the better number for most people to use as a reference point.

Minnesota's economy includes a dense cluster of corporate headquarters in and around Minneapolis, which helps explain why both the metro and state figures land above the US median. Whether a specific Marketing Manager role hits the median or the 75th percentile depends on the scope of the position and the size of the organization.
