Collective (our friends call us the MAC) is a strategic branding design and website user experience firm. We use solid research to help our clients win. Those challenges take research and creativity. Pinging multiple points of view, backing up to get the big picture - then diving into details with focus and precision to identify a solution and bring it to life.
That's what it takes to deliver results for our clients. For us, there's nothing more fun. Our 4-hour brand messaging workshop enables participants to feel heard, inspired, and aware of their organization in a more meaningful way. A winning brand rollout strategy will guide you in the months and weeks leading up to-as well as after-the public reveal.

A winning brand rollout strategy will guide you in the months and weeks leading up to-as well as after-the public reveal. Whether you're starting a new business or launching a new product, a great name can create instant buzz, differentiate you from the competition, and lay the foundation for a great brand.
By doing the work to really understand your challenges, we gain the ability to light up the board. That's how we play and win at the MAC. For more than 133 years, the towering county courthouse has been a hard-to-miss symbol of local government. Problem was, an old-timey image of the historic building didn't exactly capture this progressive community's vision for the future.
Change is in the air. Old assumptions need a fresh eye, and stakeholder buy-in is essential. We know from experience that these mountains are surmountable - when you've got the right strategy to reach the top. Businesses, nonprofits, and government organizations come to the MAC for our proven processes and research-driven results.

Beautiful work! We had some work done on our logo, branding, and menus for a restaurant and the work is beautifully done, easy to use, and fit our vibe. I'd recommend Madison Ave. Collective to anyone looking for logos, branding, menu design, all things graphic design!

I have worked for MAC as an intern for almost 1 year and gained a wonderful experience. I got assigned to Cully and reported directly to Jeff. They are outstanding mentor and supervisor, always responsive, open-minded, and willing to discover any better idea together. It's my honor to work with them. In a nutshell, MAC provides a very comfortable environment to work in, helps me have significant growth in my professional field, and adds a beautiful chapter to my resume. I'm glad that I have this opportunity to work for MAC.

Corvallis and the Willamette Valley is fortunate to have the marketing expertise and talents of the Madison Avenue Collective available for any size commercial or nonprofit enterprise in our area.
My board at the Heartland Humane Society found the MAC team responsive, timely and great to work with in our pending rebranding of Benton County's answer for animal care. It continues to be a great experience!.

We are a small cybersecurity consulting firm and we leveraged The MAC's Covid-19 courtesy consultation to improve our brand and web presence.
Jeff and Prue spent considerable quality time with us and provided awesome suggestions and advice, then followed up with documentation. If we were a larger firm and could afford to, we would engage the team at Madison Avenue Collective immediately. I was very impressed with their professionalism and integrity.

MAC is helping Visit Corvallis show the fun and cool side of our community to not only visitors but locals, too. We've been receiving kudos on the projects they've done for us such as the mural scavenger hunt. MAC always comes up with interesting and compelling. We would definitely recommend partnering with them.

Dad started our business in 1986; this project pays tribute to the work he's done. We've gained a website that's modern, clean, streamlined, and effective. We've built camaraderie around our new branding. The MAC helped us set ourselves apart at the forefront of Oregon’s sustainability initiative. That's a good place for us—and a big opportunity.

The MAC have been really great to work with. We had them help us create a brand from scratch and we've been very impressed with their work. While every project has its hiccups, they've always done their best to put us first and smooth out any issues on their end. They have also been very flexible with the working relationship. Would (and do!) recommend to others.

I was very excited when I first heard about this company and had very high hopes. However, that excitement quickly faded away. It took a few attempts to get an initial meeting set up. When I left I told Logan I would contact him shortly to give him my decision on whether or not I would like to work with his team. The next day, 12/8/2017 I emailed Logan to say that I was indeed interested in working together. Next Wednesday, after not hearing anything back, I sent Logan another email. The next week, after still not hearing anything, I sent a message using their contact form. After STILL not hearing

The MAC has worked on two large branding projects for us -- we went back to them because they did such a good job on the first one! They are easy to work with, thoughtful and creative, plus they are a great bunch of people. We have thoroughly enjoyed our collaboration with them and highly recommend them to others.

Madison Ave. Collective, aka the MAC, is a bright light of creative energy in the Willamette Valley. Great people doing great work in design, branding, and marketing. If you are looking for an agency with the experience and results to match anything you'd find in the bigger cities, this is it.
I had the chance to work with them on several projects over the last few years and I was consistently impressed with the level of talent and professionalism.
