I watch the show and say, "Oh my god! We did that?" Yeah, we drank too much, smoked too much and treated women like shit. Still, it was the coming of age for women in the executive work force. No, we weren't paid the same as men, but we became the art directors and account executives. Some went on to own their own agencies. It was an exciting time in that industry.

I remember some of those classic ad campaigns, too.
