Okay, let’s tackle this. So Gary has 50+ years of experience in advertising and promotions, which is a long time. He’s also the owner of a company, which implies he’s responsible for multiple tasks. Location is Mentor, Ohio, which is not a major hub for marketing professionals. Considering his experience, skills, and industry, I would estimate his hourly rate to be around $75. This is lower than what I would expect for someone with similar experience in a larger city, but his 50+ years of experience do bring some value. Some marketing professionals with similar experience might charge $100-$200 per hour, but Gary’s smaller company and location bring his rate down.
