M&A ADVISORY FOR CREATIVE, MEDIA AND MARKETING BUSINESSES IN LATIN AMERICA

M&A for creative businesses, made understandable.

Built South. Valued Everywhere.

MADE is an M&A advisory boutique built for creative, media, and marketing businesses in Latin America.

We help founders understand what they have built, prepare it for the right kind of transaction, and translate its value into the language global investors, buyers, and capital partners understand.

Because creative businesses are often stronger than they look on paper. They just need to be read correctly.

FOUNDER MANIFESTO
You built a business in conditions most global investors do not fully understand.

Through volatile currencies. Late payments. Price pressure. Talent cycles. Client concentration. Informal systems. And markets where growth was never linear.

But that pressure created something valuable: resilience, creativity, efficiency, and an ability to build with less.

The problem is not that Latin American creative businesses lack value. The problem is that their value is often hard to explain in investor language.

MADE exists to close that gap.
THE OPPORTUNITY

Founders and investors are often looking at the same business. They simply speak different languages.

Founders speak in clients, talent, reputation, culture, creativity, momentum, and trust.

Investors speak in EBITDA, risk, repeatability, concentration, margin, governance, and growth.

Both matter. A creative business cannot be valued properly if one side of the story is missing.

MADE translates between both worlds, helping founders prepare their businesses for serious conversations and helping buyers understand what is truly valuable, scalable, and defensible.

WHO WE SERVE

Three audiences. One translation layer.

01

The Founder

Independent agency owners, creative entrepreneurs, media businesses, and marketing technology founders across Latin America who want to understand what their business is worth, what needs to be improved, and what kind of transaction may be possible.

WHAT THEY NEED · CLARITY · PREPARATION · REPRESENTATION
02

The Buyer

Private equity firms, global networks, holding companies, challenger platforms, and strategic buyers looking for high-quality opportunities in Latin America.

WHAT THEY NEED · CURATED ACCESS · LOCAL INTELLIGENCE · BETTER DEAL JUDGMENT
03

The Capital Partner

Debt funds, family offices, private credit providers, and investors looking to finance or support agency and marketing services transactions.

WHAT THEY NEED · CREDIBLE OPPORTUNITIES · STRUCTURED INFORMATION · CONFIDENCE IN THE ASSET
WHAT WE DO

From business clarity to transaction readiness.

01

MADE Readiness Assessment

Before a business can be sold, financed, merged, or scaled through capital, it needs to be understood. MADE evaluates the business through the lens of a buyer: financial quality, revenue structure, client concentration, team dependency, operational maturity, margin profile, growth potential, and transaction risks.

Outcome · A clear view of transaction readiness.
02

Pre-Sale Advisory

MADE prepares the business before it reaches the market. We organize the story, the financial logic, the documentation, the positioning, and the buyer-facing materials. We help founders explain not just what the company does, but why it is valuable, what makes it durable, and where the upside sits.

Outcome · A business that can be understood, trusted, and evaluated.
03

Transaction Advisory

MADE connects founders with the right buyers, investors, or capital partners. We support the process from introduction to negotiation, helping both sides move through the conversation with better information, better framing, and fewer misunderstandings.

Outcome · A clearer, more credible path to a transaction.
04

Deal Operations

Transactions often fail not because the opportunity is weak, but because the process becomes messy. MADE supports the operational work behind the deal: diligence preparation, documentation, data rooms, process coordination, buyer Q&A, and financial storytelling. Same level of rigor, MADE understandable.

Outcome · A cleaner process from diligence to signature.
THE MADE THESIS

We prepare creative businesses to be read like investment opportunities.

MADE looks at every business through four lenses:

The Story

What does the business do? Why does it matter? What makes it differentiated? Why should someone believe in its future?

The Numbers

What is the real revenue? What is the real EBITDA? What is recurring, repeatable, or concentrated? What needs to be normalized?

The Risk

Where is the business fragile? Is too much value tied to the founder, a client, a team, or a market condition? What would a buyer question first?

The Upside

Where can the business grow? What could a buyer unlock? What is the strategic value beyond today’s numbers?

This is how MADE turns complexity into clarity.

WHO WE ARE

We have sat on every side of the table.

MADE was founded by operators who understand the creative, agency, media, and marketing ecosystem from the inside. We have built practices, brands, teams, products, and business units. We have bought and sold businesses too. We have evaluated hundreds of deals, spoken with investors, looked at agencies through buyer lenses, and seen how much value gets lost when a strong creative business is poorly explained.

MADE was created because the gap was real.
Great businesses.
Limited preparation or poor understanding.
No clear map to the transaction table.
WHY MADE
Others make M&A feel complex because it is complex. MADE makes M&A feel simple without making it simplistic.

We are not here to overcomplicate the process.

We are here to bring structure, language, and judgment to a category where many founders are underprepared and many buyers are underinformed.

For foundersWe make the path clearer.
For buyersWe make the market more legible.
For capital partnersWe make the opportunity easier to assess.
MADEThat is the value of MADE.

The right conversation starts with clarity.
