Karen Kaplan started as a receptionist at the Boston ad agency Hill Holliday in 1982. Now she’s CEO. When she walked through the door she had no advertising experience and wasn’t even qualified to work as a secretary — no shorthand, no typing skills. “Her first week on the job, two mean girls who worked hidden behind the closed doors of the switchboard room wanted to make sure Kaplan knew just how low she was.” “They come on my second day, and they stand in front of my desk,” Kaplan recalled. “They’re looming over me with hands on their hips with their little headbands, and I remember they were like, ‘Just so you know, just because you’re out here and everyone can see you, you are still on the bottom of the totem pole. You are below us, you are below the guy in the mail room, you’re below the guy who delivers the packages.’” “Shocked, Kaplan looked up from her square desk phone with four Lucite buttons. “I thought to myself, ‘We’ll see about that.’” “Thirty-one years later, Kaplan was just promoted to become the CEO of that very same ad agency, which made approximately $184 million last year. She sits in an office surrounded by the spoils of the day’s 19 congratulatory flower deliveries. “It looks like a funeral home in here,” she told Business Insider. “An art director came in my office and he said, ‘There are only two times you get this many flowers, and one of them you aren’t there to enjoy it.’” Holy crap, what a great story. The photo is Kaplan today. In addition to her advertising career, she appears to have discovered the Fountain of Youth. http://j.mp/1aK8GNs #careers #advertising #women #leadership

Amazing theory of how this season of Mad Men will end. I am intentionally burying this behind a couple of clicks so that people can avoid being spoiled. Because I think this is dead on the money. Unless it’s not. Mad Men loves to line up the clues in one direction and then go do something different. Feel free to post spoilers in the comments.... - http://mitchwagner.tumblr.com/post...

Re: PR Pitches Are Valuable Real Estate - http://itsfreshground.com/2013...

"All true! Subject line and first two sentences are exactly how I read PR pitches. Another rookie mistake I see: Starting the pitch with background that I already know. "Cloud computing is changing the face of enterprise IT." Once I see that, I stop reading and start skimming the first paragraph for keywords. If I don't see any interesting keywords in the first graf -- if it all looks like more background, more stuff I already know if I'm interested in your client's story -- then I just close the email and move on. And I don't even look at the second paragraph, or anything else. Also, the pitch should never, ever include an attachment. Never, never ever." - Mitch Wagner
