Just prepare to be underwhelmed. Only way to make the amount of money you deserve at this new title is by jumping ship to another agency, unfortunately.
👆Ditto, unfortunately.
Internal agency promotions will usually only give you an extra $5-10k, unless you have enough reason to push back and/or have another offer.
I was making $105k as a senior AD in Chicago.
Congratulations!!! It’s one of the most important jobs in the department! Salary depends on your market but $75-110k is range.
Hey OP- how did it go???

I’m a senior creative and I make 100. But I have awards and big PR campaigns in my book
should be hitting 6 figs but i know many ranges start at like 80k :/
Damn. I just had a comp conversation with one of my Sr. ADs and she’s making $175k. Go in house, people
Where do you work and uhhh are you hiring?
115k
They are going to come at you with a max increase of 5-10% against your current salary. Be ready to justify and ask for a 20% raise. I think it’s going to feel underwhelming and difficult for you to get what you deserve. But now you have the title; so if you want 6-figures you’ll have to jump ship.
You could ask for 20%, and if they meet you at 15%, you could ask for more PTO?
