I’ve seen so many certifications out there — Google Analytics, Meta, HubSpot, even Tableau — but it’s hard to tell which ones really move the needle on pay. In your experience, have any certifications actually helped you negotiate a higher salary or stand out more in interviews?

I think these are more table stakes. They help credentials yourself over others. But a certification doesn’t show you can drive value with a marketing tool, just that you know how to use it. I think you need to be able to show measurable value to help with salary increases.

they dont help you get a job but help you know a skill

I second that. If you're current employers supports getting certs and training take advantage of it though.

Most certifications help more with credibility than direct pay bumps. The ones that tend to matter most are Google Ads/Analytics for media roles and Meta Blueprint for paid social. They won’t guarantee a raise, but they can tip the scale in your favor during hiring.

Copywriter, 30/M/NYC/5 year’s exp. Currently at 90k. In-house at major global brand. Hoping to ask for raise/promo soon. What’s a realistic number?

Hey folks. Question for the majority of us still under the big 3 holding co’s...are raises a thing anymore? I’ve been at my (smaller) agency almost 5yrs and got one raise (a nice $12k bump) during that time—is that sufficient? Is one increase in that span normal? I also recognize being somewhere 5 years is rare these days. The honeymoon period at any agency seems to be 2.5—3yrs before bolting. Not complaining, just asking. Have y’all been getting raises/bumps in any kind of regular cycle? Thx.
