We’ve come a LONG way in advertising!
So…i’ve been trying to catch up with Mad Men. I just finished season 1 and starting on season 2 this weekend. I am WAY behind but everyone has been telling me that as the owner of an advertising agency it is a MUST see. Even my staff will sometimes refer to me as Don Draper depending on my mood. Is that a good thing? I’m not totally sure. Anyway… my partner Charlie forwarded me an email of some classic HORRIBLE ads from back in the Mad Men days (50’s – 60’s). They are SO bad I just have to post them. We have a bunch of them but please just scroll through and check them out. I am sure you will be shocked at where our culture was just over 50 years ago. ENJOY!
