Reverting to ‘booze culture’

Richard Core Jul 21, 2008

Has the “Mad Men” TV show made drinking at the office hip again? Ad Age has a feature out today that says in-house bars at advertising agencies — “seemingly a relic of 1960s Madison Avenue — look to be all the rage once again.”

Several of the office locales have unique themes, decors and names you’d expect to find associated with regular happy-hour hot spots. Our favorite name: the Mindshare agency’s “Brain Drain.”

There’s a lot happening in the world.  Through it all, Marketplace is here for you.
