In this slick American series, advertising agencies compete to win lucrative contracts. Sound familiar? That’s because this is a spin-off show from the network behind of Mad Men.
Unfortunately, there’s no real-life equivalent of Don Draper with a whiskey in hand and an ingenious idea up his sleeve. Instead, petrified young copywriters present their ideas to cringeing bosses who in turn must impress the marketing bigwigs of fast-food chain Subway. You’ll be cringeing too. It’s absolutely excruciating – if still compelling.
1/8. Documentary series from the makers of Mad Men, going behind the scenes at contemporary American ad agencies to discover whether the business is really as ruthless as it is portrayed in the Golden Globe-winning drama. Each edition features two businesses competing for a chance to secure campaigns for a variety of high-profile customers.
