The Real Mad Men of Chicago

2021-2022 Chicagoland / Midwest Emmy nomination for Outstanding Historical Documentary.
Chicago’s advertising wizards took on Madison Avenue with a down-to-earth Midwestern style, giving us iconic figures like Charlie the Tuna, the Pillsbury Dough Boy and the Marlboro Man. I tracked down long-lost materials from the sons and daughters of legendary creatives to bring alive their brilliant and enduring ad campaigns.
