I've been working at a small digital agency (10 employees) for one year, and will be requesting a pay increase at my one year review. I want to make sure the increase I'm asking for is warranted based on my responsibilities.
Here's some background:
1 year experience at an ecommerce outfit managing paid search, email marketing, seo copy writing, web design and social media.
1 years of agency experience running 6 to 8 paid search accounts with varying total client spend between $150,000 - $200,000 / month.
For a few clients I also run conversion optimization tests. This includes setting up and reporting on tests, plus liasoning with a contracted designer to tweak existing landing pages, and build new ones for testing. This was added onto my list of responsibilites about 6 months ago.
I'm present on weekly clients calls with my boss. We split time talking about 50/50. While I err on the tactical side he speaks to the grander strategy since we also do SEO and Email in addition to PPC.
Helped with new business development. Brought in a new PPC client which was one of my former employers.
Currently not managing anyone in the office except for the contracted designer.
Our monthly ppc accounts receivables for just my clients ppc accounts are 13K.
What I think I should be compensated:
My total compensation is $31,200 + an undetermined bonus amount at year end.
Going forward I should be making at least $35K + bonus. Or am I low balling myself based on everything laid out in the background?
