The artwork for a multi-million dollar ad campaign doesn't come together overnight. When AMC's marketing department began to prepare their campaign for Season 2 of Mad Men, they commissioned dozens of designs for their key art and spent weeks poring over details before arriving at a final concept.
In our new photo gallery, "Mad Men Season 2: The Evolution of an Ad Campaign," AMC's Senior Vice President of Marketing Linda Schupack offers a guided tour through the process to its end result -- an iconic image of Don Draper in Grand Central station that will be appearing online, in print, and in outdoor advertisements across the country over the coming weeks.
