“An ad agency that turns down an automotive account, a shoe account and a tequila account must be crazy. Maybe. But like most crazy things, it feels really good.”

Made, which was created in 2012, works with clients that make things, grow things, and most importantly are committed to supporting their mission: creating more American jobs. Made is an ad agency that makes all kinds of ads from national print ads to TV to everything digital and mobile. They create exceptional work, equivalent to the work of an agency ten times their size. This agency consists of only one team. This ‘A team’ works together from entry-level members to senior executives in each department of the company. Through this extensive collaboration, the client is ensured the best quality of work.

Made’s creative technologists don’t just make things; they invent things from the ground up. Through digitally unique and relevant ideas, they create new experiences. They create everything from prototypes to web-based applications to native mobile apps. And the designers are a part of the whole process, teaming up with the creative team directly.

Made respects design. Design is extremely important to one’s brand. It doesn’t matter what one does if they don’t look good doing it. There is great power in great design; it could put a new brand on the map as well as bring back an outdated one. With regards to design, Made considers themselves the best of the best.

Additionally, Made has a strategy department that is skilled in traditional planning as well as cutting edge ways of tracking your brand’s status. They do more than just creative briefs; Made’s strategists make sure the entire agency is rooted in understanding. Each member of the team is well aware who each brand really is, what their opportunities are, and the specific and unique ways to reach their goals.
