Event Files

They were the true Mad Men & Women of their day and helped define the advertising culture in Minneapolis during the era of skinny ties, horn-rimmed glasses, and three martini lunches. They built their careers at the likes of BBDO, Campbell Mithun, Carmichael Lynch, Colle & McVoy, and Martin/Williams, agencies still going strong today, as well as at some ghosts from the past; Knox Reeves, Baxter and others.

We've located 100+ of these true advertising pioneers, who put Minneapolis advertising on the map, and invited them for an evening of networking and story-swapping at Solera. Join us for this once in a lifetime celebration of their talents.

Mad Men & Women are free (those working in advertising in the Minneapolis marketplace from 1970 or before).
