I do adjust my rates based on the project. Working primarily as a marketing and brand strategist, the overall process of developing a strategy is the same regardless of industry, business size, and timelines, however, certain parts do need to be streamlined or upweighted to meet individual business needs. For example, a larger business might have more distinct audiences, which requires additional research time. For a business that's relatively new or small, a more streamlined approach will provide better value in relation to their overall marketing budget.
