I've been in my current role for 6 months, working under a full-time CD and freelance CD. I'd been over-performing and leading creative on a large campaign for our most important client, when suddenly the full-time CD was fired and the freelancer's contract is up next week. Neither of their roles are being replaced, leaving me at the helm. Am I crazy for thinking this calls for a promotion and raise this soon?

Letting people go without replacement and plopping the responsibility in your lap is a sign of poor management and perhaps even an issue with the account. I would highly suggest speaking with leadership about their plan and your role in it, beyond you pulling mop up duty.

Other than the market contracting and the agency not replacing them? Please elaborate!

I’d like to talk about my title and salary given I’ll be taking on the responsibilities of two additional roles… and if they balk, put in your notice on the spot. They’ve got the losing hand in that scenario.

Not crazy. But if they’re not willing to promote and pay you more for taking on two additional roles and they’re not backfilling those roles, then you might want to start looking for a new job.

A bit hopeful sorry

It may be early on, but if they trust you enough to get the jobs of 2 others done, it doesn’t matter that you’ve only been there for 6 months IMO. Not crazy, not hopeful, just reasonable. If they want the work done, and done right, they’ll pay for it 🤷🏻‍♀️ and if not… you’re not the problem. They are.

Hi all, I’d love to hear from PR/Comms folks about the process of transitioning from agency to an in-house role. What kind of chance does a PR pro with ~7 years of solid experience across CPG and hospitality brands, including a mix of global agency work and smaller boutique firms, have at going in house? Do you typically need more experience before going in house? Would be great to hear about various experiences from those that have made the transition. Thanks!
