Mad Men Monday at fuse8

To celebrate the start of Mad Men season 5 in America, and the fact that one of our designers has just finished watching season 1, we’re organising a Mad Men themed day on Monday 26th March.

Set at the fictional advertising agency Sterling Cooper in 1960’s New York, Mad Men harks back to the golden days of agency life. Wining and dining clients, smoking and drinking in the office, homophobia, fighting in the office, racism, sex in the office, segregation and extra-marital relationships; all a far cry from today’s world here at fuse8 towers.

Something we don’t see in this day and age (especially from our ridiculously handsome creative team) is the smart fashion they sported in that bye-gone age; the tailored suits, the hats, the bow-ties and cardigans, the glasses and pipes, the frilly frocks and hollywood glamour.

So on Monday 26th March we’re planning to change all that by coming into work in our 60s Sunday best. Maybe we’ll get some mocktails on the go and take some nice photographic portraits for everyone to display in their portfolios. Maybe we will, maybe we won’t. Either way, expect photos after the event.

Especially photos of Joe, who intends to dress up as Christina Hendricks.

Path’s ‘smart journal’ sharing service is now serving more than 2 million users, adding one million new members since it relaunched its app just two months ago. AllThingsD spoke with Path CEO Dave Morin, who told them that the Android and iOS apps had taken just two months to add one million users, whereas the first iteration of the app took a full year to accrue the same amount. Morin also said that 70% of people who use Path in a week are coming back to the app the next week, that users have now created over 50 million items of content and half a billion pieces of feedback (which is another way of saying that people interacted with content on the service).
