MAD Academy · $25/mo CAD · Application Only

Run your own social.
With a pro in your corner.

The exact system we use to train every person on our team — rebuilt for business owners who can't commit to a full agency retainer but still want to know exactly what to post, why it works, and have someone to ask when they're stuck.

Taught by the team behind 700+ brands & multiple viral hits
Who this is for

You're doing your own social.
Let's make it actually work.

01

You're posting but not seeing results, and you can't tell what's working or why.

02

You haven't even started because it feels overwhelming and you don't know where to begin.

03

You can't justify a full SMM retainer yet — but you still want the system and real support.

If you want a magic shortcut to go viral overnight, this isn't it. This is the real system, in the right order, with people who'll actually help you run it.

What you get

Everything you need to run
your social like a pro.

The Full System

11 modules covering the entire process — strategy, content planning, filming, editing, captions, posting, and analytics. In the exact order you need it.

📅

A Fill-In-The-Blank Content Plan

Not generic done-for-you fluff. It's a 4-month framework that breaks down every content format and idea there is — paired with a Google Drive of real examples you cross-reference and make your own. You plug in your brand, and you're never guessing what to post again.

The 2-Hour Method

You don't need to film every day. Learn how to batch a full month of content — 15 to 20 videos — in one focused 2-hour shoot a month.

💬

The Private Community

Get added to the MAD Academy broadcast channel. Ask any question, share your content, and get real feedback from people building the same thing.

Direct Access to Maddie Thompson — Founder of MAD

This is the part you genuinely can't get anywhere else. Inside the group chat, you're talking to me — Maddie Thompson, founder of MAD Social. Not a VA, not a junior account manager — the person who has personally run and directed social for 700+ brands and gone viral over and over. You ask, I answer. Our Head of Operations is right there with me.

Page + Video For Every Module

Read the written breakdown, then watch the video. Go in order, apply it, then move on. Built to be done — not just watched.

What's the content plan, exactly?

It's a 4-month fill-in-the-blank framework, not generic done-for-you content. It breaks down every content format and idea there is, and comes with a Google Drive of real examples you cross-reference and customize for your own brand.

Am I really talking to Maddie?

Yes — that's the whole point. The group chat is direct access to me, Maddie Thompson, founder of MAD Social. You're not getting a random SMM or a chatbot. You ask, I answer, and our Head of Operations is in there too.
