Any tips on how to be taken seriously when asking for a higher salary? Looking for compelling presentation tactics you’d use for going into a meeting to discuss it.

whatever your reasons, they should be:
- why you’re valuable to the agency
- how you being there improves process, organization, and how the agency works overall
- how you’re more valuable now than when you were hired at the salary you accepted back then

and should not be:
- because you’ve been there for a while
- because you think you deserve is, just because
- because you think other people are being paid more
than you (unless it’s an gender equal pay case)
- because you took too little when you were hired

Agree with DAD1. Also bring in comps for your position in your area. I got mine off Glassdoor. I literally put my accomplishments, job responsibilities, comps, and intangibles (things like I’m well respected and well liked) in a PowerPoint, printed it out, and brought it to my boss so I was fully prepared in what I wanted to say. Also, be prepared to walk away. I had been underpaid for several years, promised they they would appropriately adjust my salary to my new management position, so I told them that if they didn’t (finally) do it, I would walk away, and I was. Successfully negotiated almost 40% raise!

Have you previously not been taken seriously?

Prep a script, have a good rationale and some clear results as well as expectations. I'd say, try NOT to focus on any kind of timeframes ("as you'll be aware, I've been here for a year, and..."), instead, focus on results and actual things you've done, mention satisfied colleagues / clients etc. (Has your work retained clients? Are they spending more? Perhaps the client is happier / more profitable? Have you trained or mentored anybody? Done something amazing for the agency? Created a new process? Etc.).

The way I've done it before, is I have wrapped my achievements in a sentence or two in a quick as a matter of fact way, that my senior didn't have a chance to interrupt, and then added something along the lines of: "with this in mind, I'd like to have my salary reviewed. What are your thoughts?" And then gauged reaction... but had my expectations for salary and timeframes ready.
