Who We Are

Black Box is a MODERN MARKETING AGENCY designed for the music industry. Our vision is to help our clients DEVELOP ENGAGED AUDIENCES through branding, marketing and partnerships.

Our approach is simple; know yourself, know your fans, build your business.

Music Approach

Here’s how we do it:

1. Establish artist identity, branding, and vision. Set goals.
2. Build the content, shape the music, and design the visual brand.
3. Develop the audience plan. Establish the social, brand, and development approach.
4. Implement the strategy. Measure obsessively.
5. Enhance the business through social monetization, partnerships, and optimized traditional revenue streams.

Marketing & Revenue

Here’s another way to look at it. Black Box is two things: a Chief Marketing Officer and a Chief Revenue Officer.

CMO: As your CMO, Black Box supports digital strategy, content development, visual branding, and artist positioning.

CRO: As your CRO, Black Box supports social monetization, partnerships, D2C, and traditional revenue optimization.
