I’ve been told I’m being promoted to Art Director after 6 years with my team in Los Angeles. Started as an intern and now ‘lead’ Designer. Any recommendations on salary expectations?

Is lead designer and art director the same? Generally curious what the difference is / if there is one?

Designers and Art directors are much different positions in the ad world than design world. If it’s a design team that you are working with it’s likely more money and more influence over design, not campaign concept

Lead Designer and Art Director are two completely different things. Might want to clarify that and the duties that come along with it first. A Lead Designer sometimes makes more than an AD. Are you then switching teams? They may only do a promote, are you definitely getting a raise?

IBM IX 1- The CD ‘promoted’ me to lead Designer 2 years ago without a raise because I told them I would leave without a promotion.

AD1- It’s a Design team.

AD TA 1- I will absolutely clarify the duties first. Same team. I work on a Marketing & Design team. Definitely getting a raise.

Deff ask for that. Have it in writing and see what the % is. Internal promotions are sometimes only a certain % so make sure you’re prepared going in with all your duties over the 6 years. Goodluck :)
