Your AI CMO writes the plan, fills the month, and proposes every change. You approve.
Blackbox is the marketing lead a small business can afford. It writes a one-page strategy, fills your calendar with posts and campaigns, proposes each change with its reasoning, and works your leads in one queue. Nothing goes live until you approve.
Starter is $199 a month. No retainer.
Four jobs, done for you and approved by you
The plan, the calendar, the suggestions and the leads, for a flat monthly fee instead of a retainer most small businesses cannot justify.
A small business marketing strategy on one page
Blackbox reads your website and your accounts, then drafts a one-page plan for each brand and market: what you sell and to whom, why you, where you show up, the three moves this quarter, and how you will know by day 90. You answer what only you know, then approve. It downloads as a pitch deck or a full strategy.
Plan is your calendar, filled in
Posts drafted from your own website, campaigns built from a short brief, the CMO’s dated suggestions and follow-ups on your leads, all on one calendar per brand. You open a day, read what is proposed, and approve it.
One suggestion at a time, with its reasoning
Each suggestion says why, exactly what will change, and gives a four-week estimate against doing nothing, next to the CMO’s own track record on suggestions like it. Approve it, change the amount, snooze it or dismiss it. Approved changes go out through the platform’s own API and most can be undone.
Every lead form in one queue
Lead forms from your connected Meta and LinkedIn accounts land in one queue ordered by what needs doing today, with a board by status, notes from each person and follow-ups on the calendar. Small business lead generation, without a spreadsheet in the middle.
