A Number Of The Top Advertising Companies In The U.S.

All the top advertising agencies formerly were based in New York, along famous Madison Avenue in the middle of Manhattan’s financial district. If you watch the HBO show Mad Men (since acquired by another network in syndication) you will notice the fictional characters being employed at fictional agencies on Madison Avenue, thus the term “Mad” Men. In the 50s and 60s the leading advertising firms were all operated by men and it was a total boy’s club that ladies were not permitted to enter, except as assistants or receptionists. These men chain smoked at their desks all day long and drank very much every night while wining and dining customers at fancy restaurants and bars.
