Introduction

Marketing & Communications contractor rates are shaped by the growing importance of brand visibility, audience engagement, performance marketing, communications, and customer insight across digital channels.

AI is increasingly being integrated into marketing and communications workflows, particularly across content creation, analytics, campaign optimization, research, and audience targeting, although adoption remains focused primarily on improving speed, efficiency, and workflow enhancement.

Rates + Experience

Within this discipline, pricing varies according to channel specialization, strategic responsibility, stakeholder exposure, research complexity, and campaign scope. As organizations continue to invest in digital marketing, brand positioning, communications, customer insight, and audience growth, demand spans both hands-on execution and more strategic, insight-led roles focused on performance, reputation, and long-term business value.

My rate massively depends on the length of the contract, the brand I'm working on and the relationship with the client. I have a set day rate but it flexes - although a recruiter recently told me I'm "cheap"! 

A good brief covers the reason the client needs a freelancer and all the roles I'll be in charge of, but ultimately I pick projects based on how excited I get about them, or how much I can learn from the team.
