Don Draper Just Might Give That Creative Circus Graduation Speech

grad_men.jpg

We really, really like this campaign from three students attending Creative Circus. Nine months ago, they embarked upon a mission called Grad Men to get Mad Men character John Hamm to speak at their graduation as Don Draper. You can view the details of their efforts in the video below. Last week, AMC saw the video and got in touch with the three students behind the project. The two parties are working with John Hamm’s handlers to see if the mad man can speak at the graduation.

As part of the project, the students traveled the country to collect pleas from fifty of the countries creative greats. everyone’s rooting for Draper to do his part and enlighten Creative Circus students on how wonderful and amazing a career in advertising could be.

Dear AMC and John Hamm; please make this happen.
