In NYC it’s $1500-$2500 / day for CDs depending on amount of awards. I normally bill out at $1800 but know a few who get $2500. I imagine the rate is similar in LA / San Fran.
man I get 800 day as a mid level AD with basically no awards and like 4 years experience, get more money
I get 1000-1200 in LA so as a CD you should make more than me according to the laws of ad agencies.
CD in LA should get $1500-$2500 day rate depending on awards, etc. $1200 is ACD rates.
$800 a day ($100/hour) is a senior writer level day rate. Unless you’re getting sodomized by Creative Circle.
$1500-$2000/day in LA.
Not sure about that. I was thinking maybe max is $1,400 to $1,800 a day. It’s a small agency too. Is there a range of rates for freelancers in CA. I’m in Texas working remotely for them.
CD2, according to “yourrate” I’m underpaid.
ACD in la is $1000-$1300 with major awards. You should be getting $1300 a day at the very least. I get $800 a day in Chicago as acd and this is one of the cheaper markets. You are getting super low balled.
