Preach, comrade
If that determines respect, there’s something very wrong with your agency. And I know that goes for many agencies. Some of the best advice: Titles are temporary. Character isn’t.

You work at Edelman though, where everyone is a VP

OP needs to realize that in most other corporate situations they’d be calling their superiors Mr. and Ms. and get over it that they lost whatever battle has them peaked. Agencies are more egalitarian and less hierarchical than most businesses.
^ this. The ONLY business scenario where I have heard this come up was with a client whose headquarters is in Japan. The American clients we all called by first name but the ones from Japan we all referred to as Mr. and Ms. as did their American counterparts. Japanese business has a lot of formalities, though.
You can be entitled of my respect, but you may never earn it. I have respect shown more respect towards my day-to-day points of contact than their VPs purely because they respected me, they wanted to work together and they were nice human beings. As other AVP1 said, titles are temporary, character (and work ethic) isn’t
SO MANY TYPOS. I need a break :|
