Okay, let’s tackle this. So Brian has a mix of event management and marketing skills, which are valuable in the industry. He’s based in San Diego, which is a relatively affordable location. Looking at the skills he brings, I’d estimate his rate to be around $75 per hour, which is a reasonable rate for a mid-level event and marketing professional in the US. This rate is also in line with what I’d expect for someone with his level of experience and skills, considering the cost of living in San Diego.
