Author Biography
Starting as a copywriter in a Madison Avenue advertising agency in the '60s, Don Spector is a genuine Mad Man. Creating advertising for the agency's high-profile accounts like Smirnoff Vodka, Tareyton cigarettes and Q-Tips, he began his ascent up the creative ladder. His commercials and print ads for clients like Xerox, the AT&T Yellow Pages and Jaguar caught the attention of BBDO executives who brought him to Los Angeles where he was ultimately named Vice President/Creative Director of BBDO/West. After moving to Foote Cone Belding/Los Angeles, he eventually started his own agency where he served clients of all stripes. In his career, the advertising he created for clients like ARCO, Absolut Vodka, Bristol-Myers and S.C. Johnson won numerous awards. But, more importantly, it helped to generate millions of dollars in sales.
