So I think I may be undercharging my agency clients 😱 What is the average going freelance rate for an ACD-level writer in NYC? I’ve always charged an hourly rate, never worked on a day rate. Thx.

Hmm I’ve freelance at many NYC agencies but never heard of hourly. I always got between 1150 - 1350 a day as ACD if that helps.

I’ve been asked to convert day rate into hourly and vice versa. Always tricky. You don’t know if a day will be 8 hours or 16.

My ACD copy friend does around $110 hourly. Large book many full-time and freelance gigs. NYC

FCB does hourly but in my experience big NYC network agencies often do day rates. I’m working a gig like that currently. Pharma usually pays per hour though

1200 per day, but if you work with smaller shops you could potentially price yourself out, so have a backup hourly rate and work on an efficient hours-based plan (I.e. four hours a day twice a week) at 500$ per hour or whatever

Any advice would be appreciated!

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?
