M.AD Game Changers

A collection of the ad industry’s best ideas for students to learn from and play with.

In 2022 we launched MAD Game Changers— the world’s first card game to inspire the next creative generation.

Watch the full launch event.

32 of the ad industry’s biggest ideas. Made educational.

These are the industry’s 32 biggest ideas of all time condensed into a convenient, educational package that every student can learn from, get inspired by and actually play. M.AD grad industry leaders gave us timeless ideas they hold close to their hearts, current M.AD students voted on the selection. And, voila! M.AD Game Changers was born. Have fun.
