MADMEN: "I give you money, you give me ideas." " Everything you do belongs to the agency"

If you've never watched MADMEN on AMC then perhaps you might wish to do so especially if you are interested in working in Advertising. This long running series was pretty accurate when it came to describing the trials and tribulations of working with a creative team. The hard truth about working for a design advertising agency is that everything you do/create/think up belongs to the company. Remember you get paid to do the job and the hard reality is that it is usually someone else takes credit for it...and wins awards for it. It's a tough pill to swallow and a hard lesson to learn. Sometimes, just sometimes, those in charge actually do give their creative team credit. 

Scroll to 10:27 for the intended clip about how you work for the company, and not the other way around.
