AAF-KC: Jane Maas and Madison Avenue's "Mad Women" presented by Willoughby Design

Jane Maas, a real-life Peggy Olson, reveals what it was like to be an ad woman on Madison Avenue in the 60s and 70s -- an era of casual sex and professional serfdom -- in her immensely entertaining and bittersweet memoir Mad Women: The Other Side of Life on Madison Avenue in the Sixties and Beyond. The book tells the true story of what it was like for women in advertising in that era of rampant sex, three-martini lunches and overt sexism.   

Maas is one of the most respected names in advertising. She is best known for her direction of the “I Love New York” campaign, which changed the image of New York City and revitalized its tourism economy. As a Creative Director at Ogilvy & Mather, she worked on advertising for General Foods, Lever Brothers, S.C. Johnson, American Express and Cunard Lines. At Wells Rich Greene, in addition to the New York campaign, she headed the creative group on Procter & Gamble.

In 1989, Maas became president of the New York office of Earle Palmer Brown. Currently, she serves as a strategic and creative consultant to a number of international corporations, and travels across the country and around the world conducting seminars on more effective advertising for the Association of National Advertisers.

AAF-KC and Willoughby Design are proud to present an evening with Jane Maas on Thursday, March 8th at Bernstein-Rein.
