Ad agency or do it yourself

[Lunamoonbay]

In the past year I tried my online store with 2️⃣ big ads agencies( they claim they help promoting multiple medium/ small successful ecommerce companies).

However the first one gave me a 2-3 time ROAS for 6 months and they are not be able to scale more than 4 digits( ROAS started to decrease passing certain amount of spend). The second one literally give me 1 :1 ROAS ‍ And I have to end the contract.

Any suggestions what i should do now? I have literally 3 options to choose from:
1. Do it myself - save the money I spend on maintenance fee but might take a while to learn and if I can’t find good materials to learn from this might take forever.
2. Hire a freelancer / in house ad person to do it - with 4 digits ad spending per month, this seems a waste of money for now? However my goal is to scale, so if this person can scale this would be the best option here.
3. Continue using an agency - they want you to sign a lengthy contract with them (6month -1 year) and you do not know if them suck or not until you try. And honestly I don’t know if they all suck or just me not finding the right one ?
