Is GroupM the only large agency that gets really screwy with promotions or is it like that at the other hold cos? Feels like GroupM tends to promote the people upstairs pretty easily but takes forever at the mid and lower levels.

Pretty standard across holdcos sadly. Up until at least the Executive Director/SVP level you will almost always accelerate your level and comp by moving between agencies as opposed to within them.

It’s like that here ^^

To be fair so much of the promos are driven by if the FTE is available and clients don't often want to increase scope so they need to find it on other places or other accounts and that's hard to do when theyre not bringing a lot in..

Hi all. I can't help but feel that my current 'Digital Managing Partner' job title is a little too niche when it comes to LinkedIn job/resume keyword relevance, particularly outside of a media agency environment. However, a 'Digital Director' title feels too junior and 'Managing Director' maybe a little more senior. Any logical suggestions please? Thanks
