Okay, let’s calculate Audrey’s rate. So Audrey has marketing experience at USAA, which is a reputable company. Marketing professionals with similar experience in the US can charge around $100–$150 per hour, depending on the industry and location. Since Audrey is in Encinitas, California, which is a desirable location, I’ll estimate her rate on the higher end of that range. Maybe around $120 per hour, considering the cost of living in the area.
