Okay, let’s tackle this. So Kirsty has a broad set of marketing skills, including market research, marketing strategy, and social media marketing. She’s based in Encinitas, California, which is a desirable location for marketing professionals. According to national averages, marketing managers with her level of experience can earn between $100,000 and $150,000 per year. However, hourly rates for marketing professionals can vary widely depending on the industry and location. Let’s assume a rate of $125 per hour, which is slightly below the national average for marketing managers but still reflects her skills and experience.
