I’m at VML and typically we have always followed May-June and Dec-Jan cycles. Discussions for the upcoming cycle begin end March-April. If you’re aiming for that, start preparing your pitch to your manager now.

Seen some off-cycle raises/promos at other WPP shops. Mainly the smaller specialty agencies that aren’t under an acronym name/ogilvy/gray.
