Anyone here in the print and promo industry? I’ve been in the industry over 10 years and not even making $50k. My official title is CSR, but I’m basically an account manager with e-commerce and inventory management experience. With yearly reviews coming up I’m going to ask for an actual raise to fair market value. I’ve been seeing $65k - $75k. Does this seem right?

It's going to be tough for your employer to stomach such a jump in salary. Your best bet to increase compensation is to get an offer you would leave for, ask them to match, and be willing to walk away if they don't budge

I’m pretty sure they won’t give what I’m asking. I guess I’m more so needing to know if I’m being unreasonable. Since if I’m not, I agree I will be leaving the company. I’m currently looking so it would also be good to know what I could ask for confidently.

I live in Florida, but I work remotely. Not sure if that truly matters.

Florida pays less than print companies in the northeast or chicago ive seen. I worked at a commercial printer as an account executive before for a while. I still consult on the print side occasionally.

I would look to see if RR Donnelly or Quad has open roles.

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?

I work for a small agency and manage our internal marketing acct. We had very few processes in place when I started. I’ve since created, implemented, and trained our dept. on project mgmt for clients and am trying to convince the owner to apply those principles to our internal jobs. They are resistant because they just want the work to be done and don’t “want to keep spending money on internal jobs”. I’m confused because we’re doing the work either way and “spending” in labor/resources.

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.
