Say all of that minus the ‘better than my boss bit.’
Asked to lead X new biz pitches
Have X people reporting to me directly
Lead the business for X clients
Those are all very compelling and fair reasons to give you more $!
When I got my last raise (on the back of a stellar review) I also used data from the strategist survey to show that I was underpaid.
Good luck and good for you for knowing your worth!
Maybe. But you still have to make it about the work you do and why you deserve more.
@vp1 I can’t tell you how many of my coworkers have actually said that out loud.

Why do they even have that guy then? If you’re doing all the new biz, everyone reports into you, why aren’t you the VP?
NP – they do them every few years and they are always really helpful
@gsd1 totally. I mean, even our president of the agency told me I’m put on all new business because I’m better at it than my boss is. So not only do I do more client work, I have that on top. Everyone in the department reports to me, not him, so I have that on my plate as well
I used to work with a guy like that. In accounts — we think. It’s been 10 years and a few of us were drinking and his name came up. Not one person from creative, media, account or strategy could say what this guy did.
@GSD: What strategist survey are you referring to?
Thank you!
I’ve long been concerned that I’m underpaid based on my experience and length of time in the business. But I started in non-profit client-side before I can’t agency side, so that’s no surprise. AndI took a step back on my title to get in with my current agency, which I fear may have been a short-term mistake. Having some data to support my hypotheses will definitely help to better inform me.
