Raises and bonuses happened in May and June this year. Not sure when’s next cycle.

LOL the last bonus I saw in this business was in 2021, and the only real material salary increases I’ve gotten since then were a function of jumping to other agencies.

We managed to get 1 person in our team a raise this year. In part because we had a threshold above which we weren't allowed to award raises and they were the only one below it. Even then, it was a fight to get the 3% this person deserved for being a truly exceptional performer. Was communicated late May.

A fight for 3% for an exceptional performer. Basically just above what some companies give their staff year over year as a matter of course, as a cost of living increase. The coffers really are empty these days in this business.

Depends, do you have an MBA?

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people.
