After 6 months of asking I finally got a 10% raise. It was more than I thought I’d get but I was also hoping it’d come with a title change, which it did not. Can I ask for a promotion now w/no extra $

Why would you do that? Given more money to do the same thing is a GREAT deal! If they want to give you more responsibility (title bump), make sure it comes with money.

Ugh I understand this 100% but I kind of hate when people give themselves titles. I see people at xyz agency as mid-level then freelance or contract for a year and come out a creative director. If it’s an earned title, great but there are sooo many ACD/CD level people who have like 4 years experience bec of this. Just a personal pet peeve as I am a hiring manager and get a lot of these resumes.

You can give yourself a promotion by freelancing - seen many people do it for 12-24 months then landing a permanent position with a new and improved title. Saves stagnating progression wise at a company.

I'd say don't chew off more than you've been given if you've been just given the raise. Take the raise and continue to build quality work - your resume and portfolio will speak for itself.

I truthfully want to leave the company this year but want the better title before I do

You can get the title you want when you move to a new company.

Never take a title without more money. Never.

Don't do it. The raise is good, you know this... the title comes with more responsibility. Be careful what you wish for.
