MADE: Maine Ad + Design Information

MADE is a nonprofit professional organization that exists to celebrate, cultivate, and connect Maine’s professional creative community. Our members are the heart of our organization, and include independent professionals, students, media organizations, in-house marketing teams, and advertising, design and marketing agencies. For both our members and the broader community, we offer programs year-round including educational workshops, awards for students and new professionals, and our famous networking events. Forty years before Don Draper was stirring cocktails in his corner office, one of America’s first ad clubs was conceived in a Portland hotel room.That was way back in 1923, and in the decades since we’ve done a lot of evolving (with a lot of great people). From The Portland Ad Club to The Ad Club of Maine to Maine Ad + Design, generations of us have connected, created, innovated and celebrated all that makes us tick.
