I need to ask for a raise and I am doing some salary research. Due to the size of the business, my graphic design role has become more than just that since I also attend, socialise at and document social events and expos.

What job title do you think is fitting for someone who handles branding, marketing as well as generating content for these in person events?

I would also appreciate any advice in regard to asking for a raise and how to do so appropriately, since this will be my first time.

Branding and marketing collateral all fall into one category at most large organizations. The content creation still could theoretically fall into that bucket. The argument that these are different functions just because they are different types of projects isn’t necessarily true. The simple answer is that you are a Brand & Content Designer.

A better justification would be tenure. How long have you been at that company and/or how many years of experience do you have. You could be Senior instead of Mid. Or maybe even Lead.

The other thing to consider is that you’re probably doing more than one persons job within these functions. Are you writing copy, producing, project managing, etc? That def merits recognition. What might happen if you follow that logic is that they hire another person to help you, theoretically that person could report to you. Maybe you’re head of creative with a producer or writer under you (but be careful with over inflated titles at small companies, if you went from there to a large business later, be prepared to possibly have to move backwards).
