We wanted a simplistic, yet highly stylized, commercial that showcased Anderson by not just highlighting some of the program's attributes, but also emphasizing the unique geography of our school. Very few elite business school can boast proximity to the beach, the mountains, and Hollywood, and we wanted to put those perks on display... quite literally. Although it takes place in the 60s, Mad Men is largely the voice of our generation, and what better way to market our school than by having the ad man himself, Pete Campbell, sell Anderson.
