Mad Men is the best show. Watch it!

So, some of you may be aware of my sudden interest and fanaticism with AMC’s new show “Mad Men” about advertising in the late 60s. Boy was that the heyday of advertising. Not so much for the ladies, but every dog has his day. Anyway, I’ve been inspired to blog about the things that really interest and inspire me, make me happy. Make me enraged. Make me so mad I want to spit (out curse words and other profanities). Not that I ever get mad, but if I did, I’m sure that’s how it would go down. I’ve been following the ad industry for roughly 4 years now and have had the privilege of watching from the outside, which in some cases is a lot better. Although I’m still in marketing, I observe the latest work, ads, etc.

I must say that Mad Men is the only show that is handling advertisers nicely. Even though Gossip Girl is great content, they’re advertisers are not getting the Mad Men treatment. I loved how they introduced interesting facts about the advertisers before their ads rolled, which was a nice intro.This being my first post, I wanted to set the stage for the topics to be discussed here. TV. Advertising. Marketing. Web stuff. Good copywriting. and Fashion. Nothing too deep or philosophical. That’s too time consuming and discouraging at times. Just a review of things that interest me.
