No spam, no sales sequence. Just a single follow-up if it makes sense for both sides.

The structure

Built in three layers.

Most clients combine all three. The retainer is required for every engagement — ad management scales with your spend, and Creative Blocks scale with what you need to ship.

Layer 1

Agency Retainer

$1,000 / mo

Account management, campaign strategy, monthly reporting, and dedicated support. Required for all clients — it's how we actually deliver on quality.

Layer 2

Ad Management

$500 or 15%

Per platform, per month — whichever is greater. Covers full campaign build, optimization, and reporting. Scales naturally as your ad spend grows. Ad spend is billed direct to Google or Meta — never marked up.

Layer 3

Creative Blocks

1 Free + $400

One free Creative Block per month when running both Google and Meta Ads. Additional blocks are $400 each and can be stacked across photo, video, and design.

Ad spend paid directly to Google / Meta — never marked up by Cold Front Media.  ·  $500 minimum per platform applies at all spend levels.

Ad spend tiers

The more you scale, the less you pay.

Our hybrid pricing model is built to grow with you. As your spend grows, your effective management rate decreases.
