Junior: still learning, can handle small assignments like writing tweets

Mid: capable of taking on a single tactical brief with the help of a senior (some billboards, a radio ad, etc…)

Senior: capable of tackling a higher level, big idea, entire-campaign type brief with the help of a CD, while also doing smaller tactical briefs.

It's all arbitrary. People are promoted not when they deserve it but when the management realise said people need to be serviced to keep delivering. You might not be promoted because the guy next to you needs it more. Or because your boss mistakenly believes he does.
