Mad Ad men
There are two shows that are currently on air in US.. Both have one thing in common - Advertising..
1st being Mad men - Its set in New york's Madison Avenue Mad Men takes place in the 1960s at the fictional Sterling Cooper advertising agency . The show centers on Don Draper, a high-level advertising executive, and the people in his life in and out of the office. PS If you are planning to quit smoking, don't watch Mad men.
2nd being Trust me - This premiered just last week on TNT and its set in Chicago. It talks about advertising in today's time.
One stark difference that is there is that Mad men talks about advertising but there is another parallel story running. Unlike trust me which i felt was hardcore advtg. From the very first scene in trust me it talks about campaign, copywriters, deadlines, client, consumer groups, tag lines etc which is so very advtg.. When i was watching it i felt as if this is what i go through at work and it was great fun..
Ultimately i felt great that i am in this field and to who all those who are aspiring to be in advtg or dont know wt its all about.. Trust me its just something else.. :)
