Okay, let’s tackle this. So Harold has a broad skill set in marketing, including strategy, creative direction, and digital media. He’s based in Costa Mesa, California, which is a hub for the advertising and marketing industries. According to national averages, marketing professionals with his level of experience and skills can charge around $100–$150 per hour. However, considering his expertise in integrated marketing and entrepreneurship, I’ll estimate his rate to be on the higher side of that range. Maybe around $125 per hour, which is slightly above the average but reflects his value proposition.
