Hi,
Does anyone have some ideas on what the rates are for freelance publicity. I have almost ten years studio experience and am now freelancing and am being asked to quote an hourly rate.

I was guessing $100/hr but don't know if that's too high or low??

Thank you.

Without knowing more about your b/g and whether you will be continuing in film/talent promotion or embarking on new client areas, it is hard to give you a hard and fast quote but $100 might be too high for NEW arenas. Also, at $100 an hour you had better have all of the bells and whistles that an agency can offer - media databases, lead generation services, clipping service, etc.

If you are staying in movie promotion, you can charge your $100/hour without any problem.

I agree with maphop. You may need to be flexible depending on the industry, the work scope and even the client's financial capacity. If the client is a small firm you may need to consider a lower fee...
Good luck!
