What's your base yearly raise % at your company? Last place only gave 1%. Current place offered 3%. Both agencies within global holding companies. (No bonuses...)

And that’s why people are ditching ad agencies (at least the dinosaur holding company ones), they never take care of their people. When I was at agencies it was rare if ever, now it’s at least 3% typically every year.

In-house here. Yearly raise has never been below 3%. Bonuses are generally in the 10% ballpark. Last year was rough year and was 7.5% (best was 16.5%).

Shoot, that sounds amazing!

In house at a startup. 3% is standard if you are doing good work. 5% if you’ve gone above and beyond. Anything higher requires approval from c-level and usually is tied to a significant promotion and change of title.

was previously at an agency (under a large holding company). they had no guaranteed raises. only merit based, and that was a big maybe. one time got a 1% raise. other times they were random market rate adjustments or a counter offer to keep me around.

currently in-house, and guaranteed up to 3% raise based on company performance.

3-5% at my company. 3% minimum for everyone and up to 5% for those who really did well. Every year.

Wow. After many years at various agencies, I’ve never been at one that gave annual raises. Not even heard of one for that matter!

Curious here - my buddy just became a “Director” of Business Development in a LCOL area for a professional sports team. He likes to brag about how much he makes but I don’t really buy it. Obviously it’s subjective depending who you ask. Also, “director” gets thrown around willy nilly now. Any idea what someone like this makes? Seems like a couple years ago he was just selling tickets which kind of sell themself. Wondering if I should go do something similar since I’m sales oriented lol.

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?
