How to write a promotion message
Congratulate them, then say why it’s deserved: a project they led, how they help others, or how they stay calm under pressure. One specific reason turns a polite note into one they’ll remember.
For your boss or someone senior
Keep it warm and simple: congratulate them and thank them for something they did for you or the team. “Congratulations, and thank you for all your support this year” is just right.
A card from everyone
When someone moves up, the people they helped along the way want to say well done. A group card gathers those messages in one place, with photos and short videos too.
Tips
- Mention one thing they did that earned it.
- Keep it to two or three sentences.
- If they’re moving teams, ask the old team to sign as well.
- A short video from the team makes a great first card.
