Okay, let’s tackle this. So Lesley Dale has a broad range of skills in event planning, public relations, marketing, and social media. While she lacks direct experience in a specific industry, her education at the Poynter Institute suggests she has a strong foundation in communications. Location is Chattanooga, TN, which is a smaller market. Event planning and PR professionals with similar skill sets in smaller markets typically charge lower rates. Maybe around $25–$40 per hour? But considering her broad skill set, maybe higher. Some event planners and PR specialists in similar roles might average $40–$60. So I’ll estimate around $45.
