Im at a Omnicom agency, my director and skip manager submitted my promotion to AD months ago . Cleared Hr and it’s just been sitting with finance for 2 months. There were multiple AD roles open they promoted this girl from manager to a AD on my team from another account and it’s already been approved. How much longer should I wait until i can assume it’s a no. I outperform any of the ADs on the team btw.

Sorry to hear this. I wouldn’t have waited longer than 3 weeks for a response. Especially at Omnicon.

I know the market is far from great but it’s definitely worth it to immediately start looking to jump ship .

If you get an offer though, be prepared to take it.

smart

As I acknowledged. It doesn’t mean OP can’t try.

3 weeks is a long time, but at Omnicom it is not.

Promotion approvals usually are account dependent around what fees they have at the time, so that could explain your coworker.

That said your manager/director should be chasing this through for you, I’d give them a nudge then follow up with HR yourself.

Good luck!

It can take literal years at Omnicom and is at the discretion of senior leadership.

Depending what agency/office you are, a lot of approvals get sent to NY. This was my experience in London.
