Worse; she’ll be reporting to Don and Ted. As for Pete I think he’ll have a harder time working with Peggy than vice versa.
And in Peggy’s new/old position, her underlings won’t be afraid of her.
Peggy is probably loosely modeled after Mary Wells Lawrence. She was a 25-year-old copy group head in 1953 and founded Wells Rich Greene in 1965. The glass ceiling in advertising had already been shattered by 1968. Wells wasn’t just a token woman; she was the peak of the profession. You should read her book, A Big Life in Advertising, for a woman’s history of that era. Peggy, heading into the 1970s and the era of boutique agencies, can do it faster than in 12 years.
Though I have no doubt that Weiner has much misery in store for her in the near future, as you guys say.
my favorite exchange from the bar in Detroit –
Don: I’ve got a better idea.
Ted: No you don’t. I just heard your idea. This is why everybody hates you.
The Brits sold it to McCann Erickson, a noted sweatshop.
I think the bras are a major factor.
As head of the dealers association, Herb has some degree of influence independent of the Jaguar execs, but it’s not official authority.
It only really matters if someone objects. The implication is that they’re all confident that the rest of the partners will fall into line.
My understanding is that in the advertising business the standard practice is to write the contract so that the file – all the work that the client signs off on – belongs to the client. So they can take it with them when they go. Of course, that assumes that they’ve paid their monthly bills all along. Work that they’ve rejected can’t be pitched to a direct competitor, but the concepts can be re-used. But I am not intimate with that industry so take that with a grain if salt.
You mean Jane Siegel?

To me, Sylvia is hella frumpy. I hate her clothes, coiffure, etc. I’m pretty sure Linda Cardrllini is younger than me, but when I see her she strikes me as being dressed like a granny.
Putnam Powell actually gave Pete and Ken different titles, but ones that essentially meant the same thing.
The conversation at the time of Campbell Sr.'s death explicitly revealed that he didn’t have mistresses. He spent it all on golf club memberships, first class flights, and other frivolities.
Peggy was their boss before she left.
