• Don Draper, Maverick Ad Man, Dead at 88 by John Immesoete (Marketing Daily on 05/05/2015)
  

  I’d like to thank everyone for reading my imagined Don Draper obituary and for the kind comments. I wanted Don to at least live a long and fascinating life, with many ups and downs and twists and turns. Maybe that’s why I allowed him to live to 88; like all of us who stick with advertising as a career, Don was, to me, a survivor.  I hope he enjoyed the journey.  To read an unabridged version of Don's obitutary follow this link: http://ow.ly/N6cd2
