Okay, let’s tackle this. So Daniel has a broad range of marketing skills, including direct marketing, marketing strategy, and graphic design. He’s also got experience in lead generation and business development. Location is the Greater Chicago Area, which is a competitive market for marketing professionals. According to national averages, direct marketing and business development professionals in this area can charge around $75-$125 per hour. Considering his skill set and experience, I’d estimate his rate to be on the lower end of that range, around $100 per hour.
