3. Who is the ideal client for Blackbird PPC?
We are best known for our work with B2B, startup, and technology companies, especially those with sophisticated analytics or finance teams. Many of our clients are venture- or private equity-backed with established product-market fit, though we also partner with early-stage companies building advertising infrastructure. At the same time, our approach translates across industries, and we have supported clients in Consumer & Lifestyle, Infrastructure/Data/AI, and Healthcare & Biotech—including Fortune 100 brands.

Our work spans four core pillars: Enterprise SaaS & Cloud, Infrastructure/Data/AI, Consumer & Lifestyle, and Healthcare & Biotech. This mix allows us to apply proven, data-driven methods across a diverse client base.
5. What is your pricing and fee structure?
Our pricing is based on media spend. We charge a management fee tied to media cost with a minimum fee that depends on the statement of work. This structure aligns our incentives with client growth while funding the analytics, strategy, and creative support required for performance.

There is no universal threshold. Most clients start at a level that produces statistically valid results, but we adjust recommendations based on goals, industry, and channel mix. The exact minimum depends on the statement of work.
