From zero listings to a stocked Dubai 3PL in 90 days
Meta + TikTok creative testing found the winning angle in week three; the trade desk cleared SASO compliance and booked the first container in parallel.
Madelinacosta LLC runs two desks under one roof: a performance desk that buys media across Meta, Google and TikTok — and a trade desk that handles sourcing, compliance and market entry. One US-registered partner from the first click to the final customs stamp.
“One ledger for ads,
one ledger for cargo.”
The house principle
Media is bought where your customers actually scroll. We run accounts, creative and optimization as one system — with a single weekly ledger that shows spend, revenue and what we changed.
Official-agency ad accounts across Meta, Google, TikTok and more — business manager structure, pixels, catalogs and billing done right from day one.
Prospecting to retargeting, creative testing matrices and budget pacing — managed daily, reported weekly, judged only on blended ROAS.
Ad concepts, UGC sourcing, copy and video adapted per market — because a winning hook in Texas rarely wins in Riyadh.
Creator matching, briefs, negotiation and usage rights — with tracked links and codes so influence shows up in the ledger, not just likes.
Ads create demand; trade fulfills it. We handle the unglamorous half of going global — sourcing, compliance, customs and logistics — so the demand we generate never outruns your ability to ship.
Which market, which channel, which price point. Demand signals, competitor mapping and a realistic 12-month entry plan before you spend a dollar.
Factory shortlists, audits, samples and negotiation — with QC checkpoints so the product customers receive matches the ad they clicked.
HS classification, product certifications, import documentation and duty planning — the unglamorous work that keeps shipments moving.
Incoterms, freight booking, 3PL selection and landed-cost modeling — so margin survives the journey from factory floor to front door.
A fixed cadence, a named lead on each desk, and a shared ledger you can open any day of the week. That is the whole trick.
A 45-minute conversation about your product, margins and target markets. You leave with an honest read on fit — even if the answer is “not yet”.
We audit your accounts, funnel and supply chain in parallel, then hand you one roadmap covering both media and market entry.
Accounts opened, creative shipped, first campaigns live — while the trade desk locks suppliers, compliance and freight in the background.
Weekly ledgers, monthly strategy sessions. Winning markets get more budget; losing ones get cut. The loop never stops.
Every engagement ends up in the same place: numbers we are willing to put on paper. A few recent pages from the book.
Meta + TikTok creative testing found the winning angle in week three; the trade desk cleared SASO compliance and booked the first container in parallel.
New agency ad account, clean business manager structure, and a compliance fix on the import side that stopped the suspensions for good.
While media scaled into three new EU markets, the trade desk merged four suppliers into two, renegotiated Incoterms and re-routed freight.
Madelinacosta LLC is a Mississippi-registered limited liability company led by founder Madelin Acosta. The firm pairs two disciplines that are usually sold separately — performance advertising and international trade consulting — because in cross-border commerce, one is useless without the other.
Ad spend and trade costs live in the same spreadsheet. Margin is the only metric that never lies.
You own every ad account, every supplier contract, every login. We operate inside your house.
The person on your discovery call is the person running your account. No handoffs to juniors.
We would rather lose a deal than promise a ROAS the math cannot support.

Meta, Google, TikTok, Snap, X, LinkedIn and Amazon. We open and structure official-agency ad accounts in your name — you always own the account, the data and the payment method.
Market entry research, supplier sourcing and vetting, product compliance and certification, HS classification, customs documentation, Incoterms, freight and 3PL selection. In short: everything between “the ad worked” and “the customer received it”.
Advertising engagements run on a monthly retainer plus a percentage of managed spend, with no long lock-ins. Trade projects are fixed-fee per scope. Every quote is written down before work begins — no surprise invoices.
DTC brands, marketplace sellers and manufacturers going cross-border — typically doing $20K to $500K in monthly revenue. If you are earlier than that, the discovery call will tell you exactly what to fix first, free of charge.
