Leigh Costa

Born into the worlds of sports and media, Leigh has been immersed in both industries for as long as she can remember. After earning her degree from the University of Oklahoma, she kicked off her career in marketing with a luxury spirits brand, and soon after transitioned into ad sales at one of Dallas’ leading sports radio stations. There, she honed her skills in media strategy, sales, and brand partnerships – learning firsthand how to connect brands with audiences in impactful ways.

In 2014, Leigh founded Costa Advertising to give businesses something more than just airtime on one platform – she wanted to offer full-service marketing solutions that actually move the needle. With a deep understanding of both traditional and digital media, she brings a well-rounded, strategic approach to every campaign. Her passion for animal welfare also fuels the work she does with purpose-driven brands and nonprofit organizations.

With over a decade of experience on both the media and agency sides, Leigh helps businesses of all sizes grow through smart, results-driven advertising – always with heart, hustle, and a clear strategy.

JAMAL ABBOUD

With nearly 20 years of experience in local media, Jamal has developed a deep expertise in DFW marketing. He began his career in print with the Dallas Observer and later Belo Media Group, before transitioning to radio, where he spent many years with CBS Radio/Audacy and iHeart Media, working with advertisers on holistic campaigns built on radio and all digital marketing platforms. Throughout his career, Jamal has cultivated a strong network of industry relationships that continue to benefit his clients. Having worked alongside our founder, Leigh, as a representative on the account side for years, the decision to collaborate at her agency was a natural next step. Jamal’s extensive experience and connections ensure that our clients’ opportunities are maximized in an ever-evolving media landscape.
