  Might just be me, but I don't think 15% is all _that_ insane.

  Consider this scenario:
  - You current salary is 55k
  - You end up being on a pitch team for a major airline, worth several million annually to the agency
  - Agency wins pitch
  - When it comes to review time, that's your trump card, and you can start negotiating

  That was my scenario a couple of years ago. I start my negotiating position at 15%, and eventually we signed on a 11.5% rise, which is far away better than a kick in the balls, and still significantly more than 5%.

  • That said, asking for such a hefty increase is definitely contingent on the value one brings to the agency.Continuity
