I know I'll only have been at this company for 6 months come this December's performance review but I'm thinking about asking for a raise or at least a job title change. I found out the reason (cont.)

Does that mean you basically just started? get over yourself, you have a lot to learn

Companies love title changes — they can bill the clients a higher fee while giving you nothing more than a new email signature. Never go in offering to accept a title change. Especially since they just saved a lot of money firing half the department

Marketing coordinator is generally one of the most junior roles in an agency. So likely this is your first agency job. Or close to it And you’re one month in. Here’s my well intentioned advice: Take a breath. Agency life, esp for junior account people is a chaos of random and frustrating tasks. Find a mentor. Talk with your supervisor if you feel unable to accomplish your work in a reasonable work day. Ask for help prioritizing. Ask for additional training if you need it.

^It will be 6 months in December. And holy-shit! Just under two months in the industry and OP is already more effective than three more experienced people combined. That's, I mean...WOW! That's a 30 under 30 to watch.

Why wait 'till December? Someone with that much natural competence and raw talent is clearly an indispensible, irreplaceable team asset. I'd march directly into your supervisor's office and demand what you know you're worth now.

Has your mgmt/leadership team been supportive or acknowledging a plan to reduce the work or bump you up in any way?

Be prepared to be denied. And if that's the case, also be prepared to make a decision about whether the raise/title change to reflect your responsibilities is important enough to you to make a move elsewhere.

(I'm in a similar-ish situation in that I've been in my position for about 9 months and am doing the workload of 5 people in my dept who have quit + the actual job that I was hired for, so I can def empathize. Personally, I'm creating hella contingency plans in case I don't get what I want out of performance review szn.)

Consider why they let three people walk before you make a new demand. In my experience, its sometimes because all three were ineffective and the work only required one person. You don’t get rewarded for filling the role- especially in this business.


That said- its never too early to start asking about what you need to demonstrate before being considered for a promotion or raise. It may be that you’ve already been demonstrating those things.

I wish you luck here, but my advice for the future would be to do better due diligence in your interview phase. Ask about the team structure, type of work, recent turnover, the stability of the practice. You’d have found all this out before accepting a job, and could have used it for negotiation leverage

I have such a tremendous work load is that a couple months before I started they laid off the majority of the team. So now I'm doing the work that was formerly done by 3 full time positions...

Agree with AD1 - and I’m in a similar situation but it is not because the work only requires one person. Show them why you deserve it for the next 6 months and definitely ask but be prepared for the no and then ask what it will take to make that happen. Then do it. Or decide that it’s ridiculous and start looking for better opportunities. And it’s true - title changes barely mean anything at the same company. Focus on the $$$$, then the title.

@Consultant1 hey, that’s SIX months in. Not just one!

Question for paid search experts who have big agency experienc (e.g. big 4, dentsu, etc.) - is it considered standard to use SKAG instead of STAG, and use alpha/beta structures?...even with the changes Google has made to phrase and exact match? The various agencies I've worked at (small agencies) never use that method.

If you were interviewing someone from a small agency and they said they didn't use those types of account structures, would you think they were inexperienced?
