Considering that the DraftFCB 'Mad Men' ad campaign is for a show about advertising, there's probably a lot of pressure to stand out. That's exactly what this particular ad does. In fact, I'm sure people around the world are just falling for it (pun intended, of course).

[Placed in New Zealand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-yorks-streeteasy), the DraftFCB 'Mad Men' ad campaign is marketing the new season starting in February 2011. It is so well-executed, it almost makes me feel as though I'm actually watching the [opening credits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/droga5s-wake-up) of the show.
