The highly anticipated drama Mad Men returns tonight for its seventh and final ever season. The show has kept its viewers gripped with all of the antics from this advertising agency in 1960's New York, so is the show really a reflection on the world of advertising? One company who could tell you are Irish ad agency PHD who, in a Don Draper style move, have managed to secure all of the ad spots for tonight's premiere on Sky Atlantic.
The agency have a wide variety of clients from Cadburys to Topaz to Failte Ireland and will be using many of their ads along with their own PHD advertisement developed specifically for this evening. Their ad is one you might like to see if you have been drawn into the Mad Men world and fancy yourself as the next Don Draper. They are offering a three month paid internship for enthusiastic individuals looking to begin a career in advertising, not too shabby 'ey?
Jason Nebenzahl, MD of PHD Ireland stated “It is our pioneering spirit that led us to engage with SKY and maximise opportunities around the season premiere of Mad Men. SKY, like PHD, is a progressive media organisation and we are delighted to partner with them for the opportunity to showcase a suite of work from some of our clients as well as finding talent for the next generation of Mad Men and Women. PHD are delighted to be able to offer one lucky applicant a three-month paid internship on the back of our SKY Mad Men initiative. We are looking for bright and energetic people to join our team and we could think of no better environment than the first broadcast of the new series of Mad Men in Ireland.”
