Our Story

Words of wisdom from a creative collective

It's business, but not as you know it

As a creative collective based in Melbourne, Australia, we share a wealth of knowledge and extensive experience when it comes to businesses – setting them up for success and helping them achieve their goals.

We originally started out in our respective fields solo but once we discovered that many businesses required a complete, tailored package, we joined forces to empower businesses to reach their full potential.

Why mads? Well, it’s our initials put together. Plus, we like to think that sometimes, you have to be slightly mad to get the best ideas and stand out from the crowd.
