Give it at least 1.5 years. Publicis is NOTORIOUSLY slow on the promotion cycle due to the holding company and financial margin desired. Speak not your boss and be crystal clear in what you want. If they are good, they will at least keep you informed. Happened to me.

The agency world is reinventing itself right now. The hot area I am involved with is Commerce, so that group is making big revenue gains and more focus is being placed on those resources. I am somewhat isolated to the rest of the regional groups but I know we are expanding the bottom line and it comes back to us as a result. So my recommendation would be to try and get into that hot "ubiquitous commerce" practice because there is a LOT of job security there.

I think cost of living raises between 2500-5000 should be given out every year. I think from entry level to next two levels should be promoted every two years (total of 4 years) once you are a supervisor/senior/director in title I assume things take longer

A raise below the increase in the cost of living is a decrease in pay. We should all stand up to these.
