MADvertising - The Ultimate Advertising Show

About the Event

Ever tried selling something absolutely useless (or even harmful) and making it sound like a life-changing deal? If yes, then MADvertising is the competition for you!

Get ready for a battle of creativity where logic takes a backseat, and humor, wit, and persuasion take the wheel. Whether you’re selling inflation as a financial gym bro, capitalism to a socialist, or 2008’s economic crisis to Lehman Brothers, the goal is to convince, entertain, and impress!

Think of it as a wild improv marketing showdown, where spontaneity and originality rule. But remember—no dark comedy!
