What master's degrees seem to have the most payoff in marketing and advertising? I know MBAs are highly sought after, but I am inquiring more about master's degrees. I am not ready to get my MBA yet, and am looking more for a master's degree that can elevate me while also giving me a big jump in pay, if possible.

Yeah this is what I was thinking.

Any Masters that your company pays for and will promote you for.

Best answer! Absolutely agree with you.

If you want an mba just wait

I am not making enough money in the meantime but hopefully a MBA later on

Data-driven programs pay off most—think Marketing Analytics, Digital Strategy, or UX Research. Employers value technical skills more than broad theory, and those degrees often lead to better-paying roles.

That is what I am hoping

Unfortunately, there isn’t a lot of room for growth where I’m at. I’m hoping to make new connections and see where this new endeavor takes me, if anyone would be so kind as to refer me.

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?

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.
