Making your work visible is definitely a key point here.
As a manager, it's simply impossible for me to know all the challenges that my individual team members have overcome. Giving me some visibility gives me subtle nudge when promotion time comes around.
It's unfortunate, but true. We're not memory machines.
As such, I'm also developing a way to keep my Director informed about what I'm doing, in a method that suits him, cause he's 10x busier than I am, so it's visibility problem is also likely 10x worse than what I'm facing.

You get it.
Smart move keeping your Director in the loop too. The visibility problem multiplies at every level.
And the best part? When you solve visibility for your boss, you become visible to their boss.
