10-20% if staying internal, 20%+ if making an external move. General averages, but always a lot of variables that change the numbers.
Oh wow that is higher than I thought. Thanks!!

I had a few colleagues at my last firm have a bump 8-14%. And the percentage was usually based on their current salary. Some had been managers for along time and were at the peak of that pay band.
Interesting. Not as much as I thought.

Typically a 15–25% jump, but it varies a lot by company size and agency vs. in-house. Rough ballpark in marketing/advertising:
Manager: $75–95k
Associate Director: $100–125k
The catch is title inflation means some ADs are doing Director-level work at Manager-level pay. The bump looks real on paper but scope often outpaces comp.
Are you negotiating a promotion internally or evaluating an external offer at the AD level?
Yeah I figured that associate directors were getting paid over 100k. Surprised that managers don't make more than that. No I am not negotiating a promotion, just was interested in the salary difference for both of them.
