I feel like this doesn’t get talked about enough, but when you know that Don grew up in a whorehouse it makes so much sense he would be such a great ad man. So many parallels! He’s right, it’s not the sex that would sell for the workers either, but their customers feeling something. Intimacy, comfort, power, engaging in the forbidden, etc.

Exactly. Marketing and branding is all about FEELINGS. That first guy was just trying to come up with a smart idea. You have to start with FEELING first THEN create the branding/marketing/advertising from that place. The feeling becomes the anchor, the heart, the fertile soil by which every good branding idea is made. Put yourself in your audience's shoes, know what they want to feel, know how your busy can make them feel that, and then DO it. Communicate that through your marketing, ad, branding.

It's total bollocks.They spend their entire time guessing how any product's target audience thinks/behaves based on how they think/behave themselves. And they're usually nothing like any of the target audiences. It's true to life in the fact that that's actually how most ad and marketing people operate. They all think they have this super-power called 'gut-feel' (see that Bud Light muppet). It's why around 85% of all ads fail (at which point ad people then come up with the excuse for their client that the ad is upposed to work over the 'long term'. Problem is, if an ad has no short-term effect, it will have zero long-term effect unless you spend a fortune on media behind it to get some mere exposure effect happening so it will simply become familiar enough to become famous - but that's the most inefficient way to advertise and doesn't ever generate a profitable return on the advertising investment). If engineers built bridges the way ad agencies build ad campaigns, you'd never drive over one.

Well in retrospect of the personal problems both women endured I wouldn't envy either of them not Jackie with he stillborn and miscarried children or her husband's affair with Marilyn he's probably the only man that did have them both and of course poor Norma Jean abused and exploited all her life only a miscarriage no children at all three sad marriages. How desires and expectations change. Of course on Mad Men Peggy just had a whole full term pregnancy without even noticing no period no morning sickness etc? Then just gives the child away like nothing and back to work.

watching the Mad Men for like the sixth time, I realized the ads they created are completely and utterly superior to 99.9% of ads out there, Don saying how advertising is about creating an emotional bond between the buyer and the product, and I was think that I'm pretty sure most of these people in the ad business in the real world probably don't even know or understand that, because when you see their silly ads, the facade is so see-through, there's barely emotions, and even if its there it's not that related to the product, there is no bond(not talking about james bond)
