Okay, let’s calculate. Scott has a mix of marketing and sales skills, which are in demand. However, his role at Spyglass Printing might put him in a more specialized niche, like direct mail or digital printing. Considering his education at Framingham State University, he might be more inclined towards a traditional marketing approach. Location in Ashland, MA, also influences the rate. Compared to larger cities, Ashland has a lower cost of living, which might impact the hourly rate. Looking at industry benchmarks, marketing professionals with similar skills can charge between $50–$150 per hour. Given Scott’s experience and education, I’ll estimate a rate on the lower end of this range, around $75 per hour.
