Brand & MarketingWho is Jon Hamm in the Agency editorial?
Jon Hamm is an American actor, best known for playing Don Draper in the television series Mad Men. The Agency editorial names him once, in Creative.11, where Thiago Patriota says the series and Jon Hamm's character inspired him shortly before he chose to study advertising.
In short
Jon Hamm, American actor, appears in the Agency editorial in one sentence of Creative.11, the interview of the author, Thiago Patriota. Explaining how he found his path in advertising, the author says that some months before picking a degree he had binge-watched Mad Men, the AMC series about the advertising industry in the 60s, and was in awe of the profession and even more inspired by Jon Hamm's character, "the creative director of the agency", who crafted ads for brands like Heinz, Lucky Strike or Hershey. The sentence is about the character; it does not name him and says nothing else about the actor.
