Anyone join a large company, but slowly realized they are stuck at director? Ie there is no other titles above it because there is basically marketing VP or CMO as the top? Most of our industry peers have truly executive creative titles (CCO, ECD, VP creative). I know I should be happy I have a job, but at how many years as a CD do you consider a move? I’m at 3 at my current role, but get paid like a GCD agency side. I’ve been a CD almost 7 years total - but worried my title looks “stunted”.

Simply change it on LinkedIn to whatever is more universal when you’re ready to bolt.

Be sure to toggle off the “notify your network” switch before you do though; that way those at your company who you’re connected w/ won’t be alerted to the title change 👍

For context, it’s a professional services firm, I’ve been there 3+years, and they gave a Sales Executive title to someone who just started 5mo ago.

A former client director colleague has gone in-house as CMO. They are now asking me (currently ECD) to join and set up an agency-like creative team to up-level everything from brand to sales materials. It's a good mgmt opp and good creative is a definite possibility, but I'm conflicted. Aency BS would be nice to step away from, but I think I'm still bought into the notion that agencies are superior and in-house is where washed-up creatives go to die.
