Send a brief

Brief at breakfast. Ad by bedtime.

Mad Slope makes video ads for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and every feed in between. Send the brief in the morning. Get finished, captioned files in every size that night.

Why we call it Mad Slope

In the winter of 1998, four editors were snowed in at a ski lodge with a client deadline, one Hi8 camera, and a laptop that took nine minutes to render a dissolve. The steepest run on the lodge’s trail map was called Mad Slope. They shot the spot on it before lunch, cut it by the fireplace, and skied the tape down to the courier van before the lifts closed.

The next morning, the client asked how they had finished in one day. The answer was “We took Mad Slope.” That became the name of the company.

We still work that way. The brief is the top of the hill and the delivered ad is the bottom. We take the steepest line between them and do not stop halfway.

One day, top to bottom

  1. Drop in

    You send the brief, the product, and where the ad will run. We do a 30-minute kickoff call.

  2. Two lines down

    You get two scripts with storyboards. Pick one by noon.

  3. Shoot and animate

    Live action, motion graphics, or both. Our crews are booked before you call.

  4. First cut

    A full edit lands in your inbox. You send one round of notes.

  5. Bottom of the hill

    Final files in 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, and 4:5, with captions, ready to upload.

Pick your run

We rate our work like ski trails. A harder run takes more crew, but every run finishes the same day.
