    PurpleBlack Native Ads Agency. Scam or legit?

    Posted by windwaveswheels on May 20, 2024 at 9:41 am

    Hey everyone,

    I've been looking into PurpleBlack for some time as they have great videos on YouTube for native advertising.

    https://purple-black.com/

    They also have a private forum, apparently with lots of videos and information about how to be successful with native ads ($150/month).

    I had a quick video call with the business owner, Marcel Sattler to discuss my current situation. He offered the mentorship program. There was no pushy sales tactics involved – this seems to be their style in all of their videos.

    It sounds really great and it's very exciting. However, it is very expensive (€7500) and there are a few very negative reviews on trust pilot and on Google about the agency (not the program in particular).
    They ask for the €7,5k upfront for the mentorship and there doesn't even seem to be a contract or much detailed information. You would expect a bit more before spending this much money.

    Does anyone have any experience in working with with business?

    Any idea whether they are a scam or legit?

    Thank you

    Outside of weird/odd spelling mistakes on that homepage. Unless you plan to make paid ads your career and even then, most business owners and similar people should not buy a course. Especially at €7,500. Thinking about how well you need to do at paid ads to make your money back… it is an uphill battle. You are better off using all the free and then the cheaper courses out there. Don’t go for an expensive course out of the gate.
