Can’t really blame don here; Conrad was so cryptic and metaphoric in the way he talked about his business that it was nearly impossible to tell what he really wanted. Don did the absolute best and made a fantastic campaign. Conrad’s response only further demonstrates the massive ego of so many corporate heads expecting everyone to know and fulfill exactly what they want at all times.

I thought it was interesting because it was a legitimate visionary, like Conrad Hilton, seeing Don actually stifle his vision in his creative work, that is to help create a vision for the customer seeing the ad. Connie wanted customers to have his vision. Don was trying to give Connie's customers Don's vision. Connie was mad not because Don wasn't good. But because he didn't believe in Connie's vision. Every other account Don had looked to him to tell them what their vision is. Connie looked to him to take his own vision and run with it, and Don was not wired to do that.
@danieloconnell31392 жыл бұрын
Don operates on the idea that the customer does NOT know best. There’s having vision and then there’s having a successful ad campaign. I think he respects Conrad’s vision, but at the same time tried to appeal to a wide, international audience with language that made sense.

I think Hilton is all about control. He knows Don is the creative type that challenges boundaries and authority, and this was to show: “Don, you can be creative but within the bounds of what I want. I am the potter, you are the clay.” Hilton knows this is a good campaign. But this was about establishing obedience and Conny manipulates Don completely by playing the “disappointed father-figure” card, knowing what that means to someone with Don’s upbringing. Manipulative, eccentric, and pure power on Hilton’s part.

Hilton travels in circles above Don and is building the future. He knows stuff, Don only sells it. Hilton knew if Don's work had landed on point Hilton would have been the brand of the future, first.

Can't blame Hilton here. Not only was he ignored in his request, which can be seen as an attack on his business making decisions and capabilities as a CEO, but it's the early 60s and the USA was smack dab in the middle of a space race that saw us literally aiming for the moon. The whole idea of setting up shop there and having hotels was a popular one, as technological changes were expected to keep up at their current pace, which, as we see today, never materialized. Having a single ad that places a Hilton on the moon is tongue in cheek foresight that shows Hilton is aimed not just on Earth and the present, but outer space and the future. It doesn't matter where you are, Hilton takes you home. Case in point. What famous hotel chain leant their namesake for a hotel on a floating space station platform orbiting the Earth in 2001: A Space Odyssey in 1968?

As with many scenes in Mad Men, there are many ways to interpret this scene. One is that Connie set Don up to fail with his 'moon' request. Another is that Connie wanted to see if Don picked up on his moon request when he made it, even though he made the request as a passing comment and was purposefully obscure. Or maybe Connie knew that Don wasn't going to take his moon request seriously and therefore knew it wouldn't be in the ad presentation, giving Connie a ready-made reason to take Don down a peg and show him who the real boss is. Connie Hilton is definitely an eccentric character, and eccentric people are prone to making unusual demands, In this case, he was testing Don to see if he would follow through with the moon thing no matter how ridiculous and impractical it seemed from an advertising standpoint. So many possibilities in this scene. And since I didn't see the episode, I don't know how it ended up playing out.

As a principle, Hilton is of course right: You give the customer what he asked for. But Hilton didn't really ask for the moon. He believes he was clear on that - but he really wasn't. He didn't want an ad campaign - he wanted to be understood, that's why he was being so cryptic. He wanted somebody younger to be his apprentice while at the same time reassuring him in what a great visionairy he was. On the telephone, he sounded like somebody who just threw a few wild guesses out there, especially if you consider the time of the day.

Well - he may not have been DEFINITIVELY clear about having the moon literally in the ad. But I do think one thing Hilton did make clear, and which Don avoided, was this notion that the company of Hilton was meant to represent this… societal force for good, wrapped up in traditional American values and Christianity that would make other societies look to us in admiration. And while Don certainly does encapsulate some classical ideas about Americanism, that sort of evangelism is VERY anti-Don. Don didn’t have much to say when Hilton would start to wax on about this stuff, and in the end he felt that his own charm and charisma would translate into the ad. But it wasn’t what Hilton wanted - to give Hilton what he actually wanted would’ve been pretty gross, of course. But Roger, as a seasoned account man, might’ve seen that when Don didn’t.

Out of touch? Hilton grew exponentially during this decade. He was quite the visionary in the hospitality industry. Plus, there's a reason why Hilton created the "Conrad" brand of upscale hotels in his honor. His idea would have been different than all of the other cookie cutter ideas. The problem is that you have two giant egos in one room.

I’ve read the comments and they’re all very good. I’m torn between the two arguments that Connie is being manipulative and Don is thinking too small. Connie says “you didn’t give me what I wanted and I’m deeply disappointed” The only response I can think of is for Don to say, “If you think my job is give you what YOU want, then you should be in MY business and I shouldn’t be here at all. My job is to find the deeper connection between your product and your customers that nobody else sees”. That’s the end of the relationship with Connie but that’s Don’s way.
@BLACKMAGICROLLERCOASTER3 жыл бұрын
So, Conrad's initial thought involved a pair of mice finding a home at a Hilton. Then he pitches some wild ass moon hotel concept. Don takes that as an aspiration, not a literal goal. So he aims for the middle ground. Is that why Conrad got pissed?

Yeah i think so. Connie basically set him up to fail. He wasn't clear with what he wanted ringing Don at 3am or whatever. He was annoyed Don wasn't aiming big enough in his own mind, with his earlier comments about needing a better answer next time at the hotel. No matter how good Dons work was if it wasn't the moon Connie was gonna put his foot in it.
