it means you need to check other salaries that other agencies offer to a similar position and see if it is you who had the wrong idea about the apy, or they who are cheap.
Many large ad agencies only pay their top dogs the mulah. The others need to see it from a "hey we are a cool name for your resume" angle.
If they do pay under market average, just point that out to them. But not in a negotiating way, I would just bring this up and ask what their position is on this. If you make them adjust it cuz you ask for market value, they don't/shouldn't see this as a personal demand.
Owh, and though money is important = wanting to do the job is more important. Wanting to be at that agency is more important. If the job sucks and the agency atmo blows, even a good paycheck won't make you happy.
good luck & congrats.
