Would you rather jump the ship looking for a bigger salary but doing crappy work or stay in your current role (w/ a promise of raise EOY) doing creative, award-winning work?

Not sure which is best for you but just as a note, the promise of raise is meaningless. A raise is a raise. The promise of a raise is a manipulation. It's a way to keep you put and have the appearance of recognizing your work without having to give you anything.

This. Even getting it "in writing" is no guarantee. If you need the money now, or if money is a priority for you, then taking the money is the only sure way to get it. Something else to consider.... You never know what will happen later in your career (layoffs, etc) and people don't value experience like they used to. So, earn what you can, while you can, and you'll be more comfortable in the future.

Get an offer elsewhere and try to get your current agency to counter. Or leave and boomerang

Stay. But I'd at least try to use the offer as leverage for more $... And to shorten the wait time

Do you think women in the industry are paid lesser as compared to men.
Out of personal experience ,I can see that during compensation discussion HR person tries to convince a women candidate for a lesser package . Now this could also be the case where it is much easier to convince women to take up the job for lesser salary.
Whereas the male team member gets paid high (same YOE , same number of switch , similar prev CTC) though women are equally or more talented sometimes.
