Ah, Mad Men. Regardless of whether or not you’re in advertising, it’s the type of show that immediately draws you in. Now that it’s in its fourth season, it seems most everyone is watching….and everyone has an opinion. Clients and family assume we still take martini lunches and return to the office to indulge in our fully stocked bars (or maybe some of us still do?).

Glamour and liquid lunches aside, I think the best thing about Mad Men is the excitement it conjures. It’s easy to get swept up in the day-to-day and forget why we got into this business in the first place. For me, Mad Men serves as a reminder. There’s just something about witnessing a great idea from Peggy, a great pitch from Don or even just a hilarious one-liner from Roger that really resonates. So much has changed and yet so much remains the same.

What do you think? Are you watching this season? How have advertising and PR changed over the years? Do you think Mad Men provides an accurate depiction of the biz in the’60s?
