From stranger to repeat customer.
We slice cross‑border growth into 4 stages and 14 services: Acquire, Convert, Engage, Optimize. Pick the one that hurts most today — pay on results or per project, no annual lock‑in.
We slice cross‑border e‑commerce into 4 customer‑lifecycle stages: get the right people to see you, turn visitors into buyers, keep customers coming back, and compound the flywheel. Each stage has a clear goal, services to drive it, and metrics that prove it.
Bring the right people from Google, Meta, TikTok onto your site — with full visibility into where each one came from.
Whether visitors can quickly find the right product is the lift on conversion. Recommendation and search are the two largest levers.
Acquiring a new customer costs 5–7× more than retaining one. We help you understand who your customers are and keep talking to them through email / SMS / push.
Once you've been running for a while: which channel drives real incrementality? Where do we go next? How do we internalize AI into our team? We work with you long-term.
We don't just stitch a few SaaS dashboards together and bill you. Each service rides on 5 layers of in‑house engineering: your raw data at the bottom, our data foundation in the middle (literally the meaning of “Data Flow Forever”), reusable skill modules and autonomous agents on top — and only at the very top, the 14 deliverables you actually see.
Grouped by 4 lifecycle stages · the actual client deliverables
Each one owns a job end‑to‑end — reports, ad changes, recommendations
Lego pieces · the same skill plugs into many agents
MCPs (Model Context Protocol) are the unified interface between every agent and your data — every read, every mutation, every SQL query, every chart goes through here.
You own the data · we only read · least‑privilege access
Data flows bottom‑up · every layer is auditable, in‑house code you can take over
Grouped by the 4 lifecycle stages. Each service spells out what it does, an analogy, who it fits, and how it's priced — pick the one that solves what's painful today.
A central dispatch board for every tag on your site
A production-grade Google Tag Manager container with Consent Mode v2, dataLayer events, and cross-domain tracking — so marketers can add new pixels themselves.
No GTM yet, or current container is unmaintainable.
See exactly where every customer is coming from
Full GA4 setup — properties, cross-domain, enhanced ecommerce events and audiences — so traffic sources and conversion paths are crystal clear.
You can't trust traffic-source data or attribution.
An always-on AI media buyer
A 24/7 marketing agent that writes briefs, builds audiences, monitors ROI and continuously tunes campaigns against your strategy.
1–2 marketers managing 10× more SKUs / campaigns than humanly possible.
We run paid media for you, paid on results
No in-house buyer, no long-term contract. You set the goal, we run media across platforms, and we earn a percentage of ad spend.
No in-house buyer, or current agency consistently misses targets.
Show every visitor what they're most likely to buy next
Drop-in recommendation API with continuous backend tuning — paid as a percentage of incremental uplift.
You have PDP & cart traffic, but no one systematically drives cross-sell / up-sell.
Site search that understands what your customers mean
Semantic site-search API with continuous tuning on NDCG and zero-result rate — handles typos, synonyms, full-sentence queries.
High zero-result rate, weak conversion on long-tail queries.
Unified customer profile + email / SMS / push automation
A unified customer profile (CDP) plus email / SMS / push automation, delivered as SaaS. Monthly subscription, drag-and-drop flow builder.
Customer data is scattered across Shopify / WooCommerce / your own DB — no unified CDP.
Find the customers worth fighting for
Cut your customer base into 5–8 distinct segments and translate each into 'what to say to whom'.
Team can't articulate who's high-value or what to say to whom.
A full diagnostic and prescription for your email program
Full audit of your existing email program + concrete optimizations across content, cadence, frequency, list and template.
Email open / click / conversion rates trending down YoY.
Design the lifecycle email flows that run themselves
Design welcome / cart-abandon / repeat-purchase / win-back lifecycle flows, and build them directly inside your existing email tool.
No lifecycle flows yet, or current flows haven't been touched in years.
Automated image ops for catalogs of 1000+ SKUs
Programmatic image operations (resize / cutout / watermark / multi-size / AI fill-in) tuned per tenant.
>1k SKU image volume — manual retouching & publishing cost is out of control.
Figure out which channel actually drives revenue
Cross-channel attribution model + media-mix optimization — give every channel a fair score.
Multi-channel spend is live, but you can't tell which channel drives real incrementality.
Diagnose your next growth engine, then a 30/60/90 plan
Top-down growth diagnosis + a 30 / 60 / 90 day execution plan across market, competitors, users, product, and org.
Growth has flattened — you need a new growth engine.
Internalize AI capability across your own team
Three-stage bootcamp: teach → co-create → co-build. By graduation, your team writes prompts, runs agents, builds automations on their own.
You want to internalize AI capability, not just buy a tool.
Pay only for what you use. One-off setup is billed once. Long-running services are subscription. Measurable services are paid on results. Bounded engagements are flat-fee.
For setup work that, once done, you own forever.
For services that need to keep running. Pay once to build, then monthly to operate.
For services where results are measurable. We earn a share of spend or incremental uplift.
For daily-use software (CDP + email), priced as SaaS.
Consulting engagements (segmentation, attribution, growth strategy, AI bootcamp) priced per project.
For metered capabilities (image API). Set up once, then pay per unit processed.
Cross‑border data is a core company asset. Ownership, security and compliance are engineered into the workflow rather than buried in a contract appendix.
Plain-spoken answers to the questions we hear most often. Need anything else? Drop us a line.
Not at all. Pick the one that solves what's painful right now. Most customers start with 1–2 services in Acquire or Convert, see results, then expand into Engage and Optimize. No bundling, no annual contracts.
Yes. Ads AI Agent, Recommendation, Search and Image Flow API are explicitly designed to replace human labor — your team just sets direction and reviews results. All consulting services come with a team-wide walkthrough; nobody on your side needs to read technical docs.
We're not a replacement. We turn ads / product / customer / email / attribution data into a durable operations layer, with AI agents and a consulting team continuously diagnosing and recommending. We can work alongside an existing agency or deliver standalone.
All data lives in your own accounts (Google Ads, GA4, Shopify, your own DB) — we just configure, analyze and operate on your behalf. Data that does land in our warehouse is tenant-isolated PostgreSQL, least-privilege, fully audited. GDPR / Consent Mode v2 on by default. At the end of the engagement, you revoke our access.
Depends on the service. (1) One-off setup (GTM/GA): 1–2 weeks to deliver, useful immediately. (2) Paid media / Ads Agent: stabilizes in 2–4 weeks, 3-month ROI window. (3) Recommendation / Search: lift visible at launch, models reach steady state in 1–2 months. (4) Consulting: 4–6 weeks to deliver report + actionable plan.
Yes. Take‑rate and project‑based services are inherently short cycles — finish a round, decide on the next. Monthly subscriptions can be cancelled after the first month. One‑off setup deliverables are yours; no lock‑in.
We're not a read-only dashboard. After data is connected, the agents proactively audit, surface issues, and propose fixes — then, after human review, push the fixes back to Google Ads / GMC / Shopify. A dedicated PIC and delivery team own the outcome, and most services are take-rate so we earn only when you do.
Paid: Google Ads (Search, Shopping, Performance Max, Merchant Center), Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, Microsoft Ads. Commerce: Shopify, WooCommerce, custom storefronts. Data: GA4, BigQuery, your own DB. Roadmap: Amazon Ads, Douyin, JD, Pinduoduo. Magento is not supported today.
