Our inspirations

We believe the smallest of actions can have the biggest impact

There are some people and organisations who truly inspire us. It could be what they do, what they stand for, their courage, general aura or just because they’re awesome. Their achievements and ongoing commitments are the building blocks of our DNA.

Their passion and interests are often what encourages and motivates us to experiment, innovate and move forward in this fast-moving industry. They’ve taught us that MAD Ideas integrity will not be compromised and as a result, we’ve earned the trust and loyalty of our diverse and growing client base.

We choose to undertake projects that are lasting, positive and make a difference. Our aim is generosity, compassion and vision for a better, sustainable and improved world which gives everyone a powerful voice no matter their shape, heritage or shoe size.

We aim to lead, innovate and constantly evolve to satisfy and delight our clients.

We strive to stand up for what we believe in; to have courage to keep making challenging decisions that raise standards and broaden availability; to make a difference in everything we do.

Our hero

We were very lucky to have our own personal hero – our dad.

Every dad is special. Ours taught us respect, kindness and to be strong not because we are female but to ensure we can help others less fortunate.

He taught us everything is possible, everything is beautiful and he loved nature.  So to our dad, our hero we salute you!

Albert Einstein – genius with a mad style all of his own

“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better”

“Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty”

His thinking – and hairstyle – was ahead of his time.

Badass weightlifter. Without stating the obvious… he is big and strong with biceps the size of our heads. But it’s not the size of his muscles which impresses us, it’s the size of his heart. The process of getting Patrik to number one has not harmed or impacted...
