6/15/2020 22:15:50 White Malee Advertising Creative Director $1750-2000 Multiple Brands & Agencies Los Angeles 11 No recruitment agencies. Word of mouth only. Top end of day rate is where I put my worth/negotiation start. It is for short gigs. Low end is for longer jobs/agencies who won't pay full day rate, I don't go lower unless it's for longer permalance style gigs. Have to be comfortable saying no at low day rates. And saying no to going on "wage" for a freelance gig, it screws the tax.
