Not buying the story line. Ad men are all marketing majors, English majors (various degrees and they are the copy writers), art majors and have lot of emphasis in things like public relations and marketing strategy. Even in the 1960's my dad had a media research person. He later merged with a firm that did nothing but media packaging. A lot behind that beyond selling space.

But, I know, it's a story based on a time period with the physical presence of the 60's and the lifestyle of the 60's which they do well for the most part. The fact that it's an advertising business is incidental. Could have just as well been the music or movie business.

Could have been about a bunch of lawyers in the 60's too. But, there was a little craziness in the ad business as I was able to witness first hand, albeit as a youngster in the 60's.
