Ad agencies tend to be large teams of both account managers and creatives. These account managers are assigned to specific clients. The account manager wrangles internal creative employees, such as designers, copywriters, analysts, public relations experts, photographers, and third-party vendors. Ad agencies are more expensive because they staff with a huge range of specialties, and can cost anywhere from $150 to $250+ per hour.
Consultants and freelancers have niche specialties. They are more affordable, and can work on a short-term or long-term basis. At Paper Raccoon, my rates start at $85 per hour for strategy and project deliverables.
I am also the project manager and creative staff. I’m responsible for all pieces of the puzzle, and have full oversight into the needs of your business because I’m working directly with you.
I’ve worked in-house and at an ad agency, so I am an expert in the marketing process, whether it’s setting up website analytics for your small business, or editing and launching short-form video ads for social media.
My specialties are advertising, digital marketing, copywriting, and photography.
I am nimble and address feedback quickly; I am not managing multiple schedules or collecting information from a team of staff.
