Is a year at an agency too soon to ask for a raise? Not sure what’s standard? I feel I’m a great asset to the teams I’m on and for one of them I’m the only art director.

You can ask. Once upon a time we didn’t have to wait half a decade for a 5% bump.

But would recommend figuring out when the cycles are at you company and maybe tying it to your review. Timing is everything and building a case for yourself actually goes a long way.

It’s not too soon to ask, but I would make a list for your own reference on accomplishments you’ve met, or any instances of going above and beyond that will give your manager the foundation for the ask.

(You don’t have to present or check off your list during conversations but it’s a good reference to help you “refresh their memory” on what you’ve done). Good luck!! 🍀 💰

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago.

Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account.
