Q 1

 

Background: For class, you watched the clip from Mad Men. Mad Men is a well-known tv series that takes place at a New York City advertising agency environment in the 60s. In this clip, Don Draper, the main character and Creative Director at the advertising agency is helping his account team to “pitch” a new product name. The visitors to the agency in the clip are Eastman Kodak executives who have developed a “wheel” so people could view their slides more easily. The problem in the 60s: lots of slides, a pain to view them because they were all individual. The new high-tech wheel from the Eastman Kodak company solved this. Don talks about nostalgia and uses storytelling to sell his idea.
