Hi guys 👋 I am a new user, based in South Africa. A friend who stays in the Netherlands recommended this platform to me after I shared that I don't think I am earning the industry standard salary as an account director. How can I be sure that I am earning the average standard? Additionally, IF I come to find that I am not, how will the negotiations with the MDs work?

Any tips on input welcome.

It is better to make enquiries within and not getting greedy with the average standard, you’d rather think of another way to invest and grow in your financial status.

Hello, I’d advise you dm me for further reasonings.

I think you can check out the salary on Glassdoor

Recently, the CEO and my boss, the VP gave me the latitude to promote myself and "write my own" job description. I've been the Marketing Manager of this company for about 7 months. Already received 1 raise.

Much of the work in my "new" job description, I've already been doing. My currently salary is $70K. New title is Director of Communications and Systems Integration. What is a reasonable salary increase here.

I have about 7 years experience in this area.

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 Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works.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.
