What would be typical compensation for professional development at an Ad Agency? For example a PM completing a Scrum Master course - would partial or complete coverage of the costs be a reasonable ask? Could this be worked into a raise discussion?

PM who completed CSM course here! Ask for partial coverage if you can convey the value add to the agency & obtaining it will act as backup for when you ask for future raises/promotions. Doesn’t immediately warrant a promotion or raise

Thanks! I am already due for a raise, and have plenty of negotiation power so far - my initial thoughts are to use this course as a foundation for expanding my exp and to implement more agile practices into how the agency is run. There was zero structure before I came on, so it’s been a process. Any tips for on-boarding a creative team/management into an agile framework?

I believe most holding company agencies will pay for in full up to xxxx dollars but you'll also have to commit to staying onboard for a period of time or else pay some or all back.

So if you're at a holding company agency, ask HR or your boss.

Thank you! I work for a Creative Agency, so it may be different that your experiences. I’ve spoken to my employer and their initial take is that they’d need to budget for it, so it would be a New Year conversation. Now, I’m sure we can account for the cost right away, and would prefer to implement something sooner than later. I’m thinking of approaching it from the standpoint of sooner the better, since I’d like to start the New Year with new practices, rather than implement them slowly throughout the year. Thoughts?
