You have to ask Marcel, but rumor has it Arthur programmed the response as No by default. Was there 2.5 years and only saw very few people get promoted. During staff planning, overheard a Group Director say they only promote to reduce flight risk. That about sums it up.
You have to have a conscientious manager who focuses on mentor ship to see consistent raises/promotion as that makes them feel good. Otherwise loyalty does not do much in agency life. Better to jump around early on. Get more experience quickly and build your network. Focus on leaps when job switching than relying on promotion. Unless you can get something in writing like complete x project to get y, better to get the title you want than hope for a promotion within 2 years — especially in a candidate market like it is right now.
for entry level folks, pretty damn hard at digitas. since everything gets approved by "Paris" there's no real visibility. 2 years seems the standard time you have to wait but I've seen longer. I'm not sure what the deal is for higher up the ladder
It’s just math. Organic and new client wins generate revenue. Revenue funds promotions. Job title only promotions serves no one well.
