Marketing strategies, design concepts, outsourcing (either looking for or willing to partner with)

Industry news and good creative reviews. Sort of like hot or not but with creative or design.

A good start?

You might be getting most of the traffic from myspace users however it is good but temporary and you can not solely depend upon myspace only, you should also try out to promote it implementing other method too, work on SEO part as well and optimize for other social networking sites.

Are you concerned about copyright/trademark issues by using the "Mad Men" name and directly associating yourself with AMC's TV show?

Also, the name seems to exclude women by design. Since I work in marketing, I can say that a significant percentage of the marketing workfoce is female.

Just some food for thought.

Also, keyword spamming, which you're kind of admitting you're doing in the homepage text, is frowned upon by search engines.

Can it really be considered spamming if relevant(to the site) words are used conservatively.

My suggestion is you had better start networking with real copywriters and make a few moderators -- before the requests for critiques come in.

A forum is more than a clever gimmick and a logo.

You should have several dozen copywriting articles up -- right now. No "build it and they will come" fantasies, get proactive.
