Mad Men EOC

The relativeness between the show Mad Men & the discussion in class are very, very similar! In fact, I felt that the topics we went over in class helped me understand what the show was really about! It proves that anyone can be an advertiser, but it takes more work to sell the marketing perspective on products. The characters in the show really made it seem like that was their actual job & got their point across in a great way. To me, it seems it's way more strenuous to take care of the customers wants & needs, rather than to only show what the product is about whether the consumer likes it or not.

EOC Week 4




i think this commercial is more relevant in '09 more than ever before. Companies downsizing, layoffs everywhere (see: "be replaced on a whim"and "forced into early retirement"), low-paying jobs ("anything for a raise, sir").
It makes you feel "under appreciated".
who knew this commercial was ahead of its time?
