Consider the following:
Working in a digital agency (seo + ppc). I'm a paid search analyst with 2 years experience, 1 yr at the agency. I'm responsible for performance of our 6 largest ppc accounts spending $1.5 + million / year. My rough estimate is their ppc mgmt fees represent at least 25-35% of our billing. I brought one these accounts to the agency based on previous connections - $2000/mo in mgmt fees with potential cross sell to SEO next year.
My boss is the active account manager for 4 out of the 6 clients. He does much of the talking, strategic planning while I play a supporting role on the calls. It's the reversal for the other 2 clients. Addmitedly, my boss's soft skills are much more honed than mine.
I'm also heavily involved in project managaement for new ppc landing pages for all these clients. In addtion to setting up, and interpreting results for A/B and multivariate tests.
Lastly, I'm involved with training our new analyst which is a group effort between my boss and I.
A year end review is scheduled, and that seems like the opportune time to ask for a higher raise. Do the above points alone merit more than a 3% raise? Or will I need to walk into the meeting with more to offer the agency than past accomplishments to secure a higher raise? (I.E. more assertive role in account management, more active role in promoting the company for new business development).
I'll appreciate your thoughts!
