Public relations / Editing and production
Rates vary hugely. The "high budget" and "low budget" categories are no more than guides. The most important point is that they do not divide between profit-making and non-profit-making organisations. Charities can have high budgets, and commercial organisations low budgets. Note that some clients fall well above the "high budget" band.

Editing and production for low-budget clients is obviously the area of PR work that attracts the worst payments. Talking the client through the skills and knowledge required merely to stop them looking stupid, and the degree of responsibility this involves, may sometimes reap dividends. |
