MadMen goes United
Posted by Caitlin Smith
This United Airlines ad, looks like it could have been created by Don Draper and the rest of the creative team at Sterling Cooper, (MadMen reference, for those of you who haven't seen the show.) I absolutely love it. It's from the 1960s when many men would go on business trips and leave their wives at home with the kids. The ad targets housewives who want to go and travel with their husbands and not be left in the suburbs. And some bloggers claim that the "Take Me Along" campaign was created from backlash from wives finding out the their husbands were taking their girlfriends along, instead of their wives. For whatever reason it was made I'm glad someone saved it and posted it to YouTube because this ad is great and really reflects that period in advertising well.
