At a glance

Primary Use Case
Scaling high-budget digital ad campaigns
Reported Result
2.5 to 3X Return on Ad Spend (ROAS)
Ad Spend Level
Six figures per month
I'm getting right now about 2.5 to 3X ROAS, which is fantastic given the sheer level of scale that we're at.
They certainly don't have the experience working with clients who are willing to spend six figures a month and more in ads. Curt and Nick do.
I have never had any confidence in any marketing person at all to be able to truly let my hand off the wheel and let them run with the marketing.

The interview

What was your previous experience with marketing agencies before finding Black Box?

Up until Curt and Nick at Black Box Agency, I pretty much thought every single marketer on this planet was an absolute scam artist. They come in, they make big promises, they want two to four grand a month on top of ad spend, but it was always the same story. They wanted to use my own successful funnel and then try to say it was their idea.

What makes the Black Box strategy different from other agencies you've fired?

They actually have a strategy behind what they're trying to do. There is a legitimate top-of-funnel campaign, a legitimate middle-of-funnel retargeting campaign, and a legitimate bottom-of-funnel conversion campaign. They actually do the hard work necessary to make a long-term marketing campaign truly function.

How much effort do they put into the technical management of your ads?

I have never seen 200-plus campaigns in my Ad Manager, period. That actually requires work. A lot of people want to just sit there and outsource to some kid overseas who doesn't know what they're doing while they play arbitrage. Curt and Nick actually do put the work in.

What happened to your metrics when you tried to scale your ad spend on your own?

When you're spending significant amounts of money in ads, tens of thousands of dollars, all of a sudden your CPM skyrockets. The things that used to work don't. It was amazing working with Curt and Nick because they've helped me scale to a tremendous level and the CPMs are stable.

What kind of Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) are you seeing at this high level of scale?

I'm getting right now about 2.5 to 3X ROAS, which is fantastic given the sheer level of scale that we're at. And this is at the front end of the offer; we have not even touched the backend yet.

How has working with them changed your role as a business owner?

What they're now able to do is free me up as the business owner to go out and do what I need to do now, which is recruit, train and grow the team. Not having to deal with the stress of whether the funnel or ads are working has allowed me to dramatically catapult my business.

Frequently asked

Are most digital marketing agencies scams?

Elliott Feldman initially believed most marketers were 'scam artists' who made big promises but lacked strategy. He found Black Box Social Media different because they implemented legitimate top, middle, and bottom-of-funnel campaigns rather than just playing arbitrage.

Can an agency handle an ad budget over $30,000 a month?

Feldman noted that while many agencies are only comfortable with $1,000 to $5,000 monthly spends, Curt and Nick at Black Box have specific experience managing six-figure monthly budgets and keeping CPMs stable during that growth.

How does professional ad management affect a business owner's workload?

By trusting Black Box to handle the technical setup and strategy, Feldman was able to take his 'hand off the wheel' of marketing. This freed him to focus on recruiting, training, and growing his legal team.

If you're ready to work with a marketing partner that's actually willing to get to work and will produce you results, you've got to give Black Box Media a call and buckle up because it's gonna be a wild ride. Elliott Feldman lives in Austin, Texas, and I run the Elliot Feldman Law Group. So up until Curt Nick, Black Box Agency, I pretty much thought every single marketer on this planet was an absolute scam artist. They come in, they make big promises, what's two grand a month, three grand, four grand a month management on top of your ad spend, but we have the solution, we have the secret sauce. And it was always the same story. They pretty much want to use my own successful funnel. and then try to say it was their idea in the first place. When I mentioned maybe some retargeting campaigns we could do, retargeting doesn't work. Really, they just don't wanna work. And I've had to probably fire, I can't even tell you how many agencies at this point. And everyone comes in with the big promises and it was all the same, whether you pay them two grand a month, 10 grand a month, all these people up until Curt, Nick and Black Box Agency were absolute scum of the earth. And I am so happy I finally found Black Box. So one of the cool things working with CurtNic and Black Box in general is that they actually have a strategy behind what they're trying to do for you, the business owner. So there is a legitimate top-of-funnel campaign. There's a legitimate middle-of-funnel retargeting campaign. There's a legitimate reason when they're hot to trot at the bottom of the funnel conversion campaign. They actually do the hard work necessary. to make a long-term marketing campaign truly function for a business owner. I have never seen 200-plus campaigns in my Ad Manager, period. That actually requires work. A lot of people wanna like just sit there, they outsource to some kid overseas who doesn't even know what they're doing and they play arbitrage just trying to make a profit for doing no work and sipping Mai Tai's on a beach in Thailand for doing no work. Curt and Nick. actually do put the work in and they have significantly helped me grow my business. Like one of the cool parts about working with curt and Nick is that they've actually seen where you are looking to go because the whole point of an ad campaign is for you to get a legitimate ROAS on the ad spend, a return on ad spend, right? And we're all looking for that 2X, 3X, 4X. We're looking for return on ad spend. Well, here's the thing. A lot of marketing companies I have worked with, and they don't really have too many clients that have a very large ad budget. Maybe they're comfortable managing $1,000 a month, $5,000 a month, but when you start spending north of $30,000 a month, most people don't have clients that have the money to spend that level in ads. They certainly don't have the experience working with clients who are willing to spend six figures a month and more in ads. Curt and Nick do. And the cool part about working with Curt and Nick and one of the aha moments for me was I tried running my own campaigns and when you're spending significant amounts of money in ads, tens of thousands of dollars, all of a sudden your CPM skyrockets. The things that used to work don't. And it was amazing having been working with Curt and Nick for the sheer fact that they've helped me scale my ads to such a tremendous level. I never thought I would be spending this much on ads and the CPMs are stable. And the ROAS, I'm getting right now about 2.5 to 3X ROAS, which is fantastic given the sheer level of scale that we're at. And this is at the front end of the offer and we have not even touched the backend. We're about to touch the backend and I cannot wait. Curt and Nick are actually coming to the table with unique ideas. Hey Elliot, now that we're here, why don't we start doing XYZ, VSL? A couple of things that they have in the works have been successful. Like they're not just ads manager, they really are a marketing partner. And I have never had any confidence in any marketing person at all to be able to truly let my hand off the wheel and let them run with the marketing. Because what they're now able to do is free me up as the business owner to go out and do what I need to do now, which is recruit, train and grow the team. and not having to worry about, my gosh, is the funnel set up? Is the ad set up? Is it actually working? What's gonna happen today? Not having to deal with that stress has allowed me to dramatically catapult my business and I'm really excited for the future and I'm gonna be working with them for a very long time.
