Question 1

What is MadeByStranger?

Accepted Answer

MadeByStranger is the most democratic creative studio ever built, based in New York City. Participants — not viewers — vote, suggest, and direct every decision. The final ad reflects their collective input, the best ideas get built, and the best contributors get credited.

Question 2

Where is MadeByStranger based?

Accepted Answer

MadeByStranger operates out of New York City (NYC), USA.

Question 3

How does the process work?

Accepted Answer

Five phases: PICK (participants suggest a brand), DEFINE (participants choose the audience), DIRECT (participants vote on the creative direction), BUILD (we build exactly what they decided), DELIVER (the final ad is posted publicly and top contributors are credited).

Question 4

Who gets credit for the output?

Accepted Answer

Everyone who participates directs the outcome. The best ideas get built and the top contributors get recognized publicly. Brands pay for the final output; participants are the creative team.
