Ad agencies are, for most marketing students, this mysterious and powerful force, a workhouse full of eclectic creative geniuses who plot the next best way to draw in your attention, to manipulate you into buying something you previously never knew existed. Its a world popularized-and glamorized-by the award-winning TV show Mad Men. Of course, this situation seems to present a far from accurate view of the real world of ad agencies. So I set off on a brief mission to figure out what ad agencies today truly are.
My personal favorite?
Wexley School for Girls
"WTF" was basically my first thought in (trying) to nav
igate my way around their website. As words cannot pro
perly describe what I saw, check it out here. The few pictures I managed to find online... they seem to be fairly private about their actual office space
The handicapped parking spots in front of the building
The entrance to the building, designed to look like a Greek restaurant (the lobby has tables and booths)
Reception desk
Side view of the building
This is the only video I found that gives you a brief glimpse into the crazy minds behind Wexley School for girls... true randomness at its finest
Wexley School for Girls appears to be a straight up "screw you" to the posh ad world conveyed by Mad Men. And, to be honest, I would do ridiculous things to work there, even for a month.
