Got contacted today for a freelance cd position at a very well known PR agency that starts with an Edel….. $80 an hour, part time, for a CD.
Embarrassing.

Please don’t take it, and don’t refer anyone. I’m getting $130/hr as an ACD.

Why take hourly rates over day rates?

Sometimes you’re only needed for 4 hours.

Hahhhh. Got that inmail too and left it on read

What market and how long is the contract? Leaving out some important deets there.

Those details make no difference here. $80/hr for a CD in fucking Omaha, Nebraska, would STILL be ridiculous no after how long the contract is. We’re talking about a network agency here, not some mom and pop regional backwater business making junk mail.
