Getting an interview with Mad Men star Jon Hamm last evening at the Best Life magazine party at Michael's was akin to getting an audience with the Pope, as his flacks fussed and hovered, and nearly ruined our “We met Don Draper!” moment. Even so, we managed to sneak in a few questions. (Yes, we know we just ran a Jon Hamm Q&A a month ago, but he's Don Draper!) What are you working on ...

“Technology changes fast, ladies. Who knows what kind of silly contraptions the boys are going to come up with next. If faced with something you don’t understand, don’t be afraid to ask one of the copy writers for help. They’ll think it's endearing."

Twitter, the popular micro-blogging service, has turned into a powerful tool in the hands of not only consumers but marketers of all stripes as well. Comcast, Paramount Pictures and a handful of others have all latched on to it as a way to communicate with customers, acting not only as a distribution platform but a conversation hub and customer service hub as well. Some of the biggest names in the social media marketing world are ...

Las cadenas de televisión deben valorar con respecto a sus series más importantes, la idea de tener en su poder las cuentas de twitter (o de otras redes) de sus personajes principales. Sino pongamos el ejemplo de Mad Men, serie de la que ya hemos hablado en el blog en alguna ocasión. Resulta que algunos fans habían abierto en twitter (como podría haber sido en cualquiera de las otras herramientas de Social Media), una cuenta ...

Marketers cause unhappiness. Really, when you strip it down to bare essentials, that’s our job: to make consumers unhappy with what they currently have, so they’ll buy what we’re selling. I don’t like this much. I never have. (BTW, this is Kat writing. Invariably, people assume it’s Jason, being that it’s his blog—anyway, moving on…) While my career has been what could charitably be called “eclectic,” marketing—more specifically writing marketing copy—has been a big chunk ...

Well, this is splendid.I recently wrote about the Mad Men craze that had taken over Twitter. Characters from the hit television program sprang to life on the chattiest of social networks - including Don Draper, Peggy Olson, Roger Sterling, Bert Cooper, Paul Kinsey, Pete Campbell, Bud Melman, Bobbie Barrett, Sal Romano and Joan Holloway.But as of about 2:00 p.m. EDT this afternoon, the jig was up. Evidently, AMC marketers discovered that their show had been ...

For the 987 readers (whoops — make that 988 and counting since starting this sentence) following "Don Draper"'s Twitter feed, today was an unusually turbulent day at Sterling Cooper Ad Agency. Same thing for the 1,207 folks following "Peggy Olson." You might have been among them, frozen out when AMC reportedly turned to Twitter with complaints about the Mad Men characters posting regular "updates" on the service — discussions which, for whatever reason, resulted in ...

Fans of AMC's 1960s period drama "Mad Men," have created a series of Twitter accounts impersonating characters from the show's ad agency. Better check them out now: AMC lawyers have already filed legal notices with Twitter demanding their removal. Don Draper and Joan Halloway's accounts are already gone. Obviously, that's a mistake on the part of the cable channel. Star Wars creator George Lucas may not know how to make a movie anymore, but he ...

O Great Internet, what silly and almost nonsensical story do you have for us today? Ah, one about Twitter and the excellent AMC drama series Mad Men. For a couple of weeks now, "employees" at the fictional advertising agency Sterling Cooper have been sending Twitter messages to each other and other users, hinting at events on the show and just creating a sort of second internet world for the series. And now, of course, people ...

Bobbie Barrett—Don Draper's new "other woman"—isn't my favorite of the women on Mad Men, but the plots and themes surrounding her character are. A few weeks ago I was riveted by the weirdly tense sexy/abusive scene when Don grabbed her crotch, and this week I was just as drawn into her brief but profound advice for Peggy Olsen. "You're never gonna get that corner office until you start treating Don as an equal. And no ...

Filed under: TV Squad Lists, Reality-Free, Mad MenRecently, when I interviewed Matt Weiner, the creator of AMC's Mad Men, we talked about the movies, books and television shows that influenced the inception of the show. The 1960 Oscar-winning best picture The Apartment was one, so were the sitcoms Dobie Gillis and The Dick Van Dyke Show. Of all the television shows he mentioned, though, there was one that was the most influential. "You can't have ...

One of my favorite shows on TV, AMC’s Mad Men is getting bigger audiences in season 2, and treating them to an expanded look into the lives of the [fictional] ad world of 1962. The tone is pitch-perfect, the characters are deep and flawed, and the set pieces, costumes, and era kitsch are all intriguing. I just stumbled across something totally separate from the show: someone has created Twitter accounts for a couple of the ...

To all the men out there who think a female’s obsession with fashion is merely superficial: perhaps you aren’t properly applying your “spatial knowledge.” What do you think happens when a straight pant leg is pulled up over a curved hip? Or a standard dress shirt is buttoned over breasts? That these proportions widely vary from woman to woman creates even more difficulty.

I've been a fan of Mad Men since the series premiered. The production values are amazing and the story lines are gripping, with some very complex characters. And I wrote about the unique advertising model that the show used, essentially making the ads relevant on a show about advertising in this day and age when we can skip right by commercials.Back then, the show's blog was already in full swing; now it's even more so, ...

That slight crisp in the air this morning signals to us that autumn is fast approaching, with its hayrides and pumpkin picking and legion of miserable children tromping off to their imagined doom. But also it means television, sweet and glorious non-off-season TV like Gossip Girl and, um... other... shows. Many other shows! So many, in fact, that you can't—even with the aid of DVR techmologies—be expected to watch them all. But in this increasingly ...

After copping a couple of Emmys for his work on that HBO drama, Weiner finally got his spec script sold. Now, Mad Men has earned ...
