How do approach your boss and tell her you are unhappy because you feel like you haven’t received recognition for your award winning campaign that has won 20+ awards and you have seen your other coworkers get promoted while they fail to properly recognize you in front of your team. Thank you

Never wait for others to acknowledge your accomplishments. Get yourself recognized by landing another job with more money and a better title. Your awards should help with that.

This. Put that highly awarded project at the top of your book and get a new job. You’ll make way better money that way, than waiting for the current place to recognize the skills.

Look elsewhere. But being a great creative and producing award winning work doesn’t always equate to having good soft skills, being a good people manager, client relations, knowledge of strat and budget. It’s one of the biggest downfalls in our industry as creatives want more money and titles but might not have the experience they need to be a “manager” etc.

You could have an honest conversation with your boss saying exactly what you wrote. Their response should at least help you figure out where you stand, and then you can decide whether to quit and find a new gig or stay.

What awards tho? Lots of shitty awards out that don’t mean a damn thing.
