Depends on how much you actually contributed. Most of the time, NO. But in those rare instances where you make your importance and contribution known to the people that matter...it can happen.

I have. But it was the olden days.

At a super senior level - I’ve seen spot bonuses of like $40k if the fee is big enough...

@SVP 1, what's considered big?

Main reason I was promoted from junior to mid-level.

I’ve only received comp days

They should get bonuses. It will more people to help. Most holding companies don’t allow their agencies to bonus like that. CPB used to spot bonus people back when they were killing it.

Sometimes senior people do. Or if it was your relationship that brought it in or they need you to secure it in some way.

Otherwise, these days SC 2 got it right, you get to keep your job.

It may sound like a joke, but SC1 is right in a lot of cases. The agency pitches to win business and keep people employed, not to mention show growth to the holding company. I mean, how many posts have been on here about layoffs at agencies that haven’t won new business in a while? So your bonus is your job

@ad2 haha same thing happened to me at my last agency. Helped win some biz, they brought in other creatives to run it and wouldn't let me help, then lost it shortly after.
