Abstract

Designing innovative methodologies has become vital within the teaching-learning process, and the use of fiction appears as a pertinent resource for the audiovisual communication classroom. Thus, Matthew Weiner’s series Mad Men (AMC, 2007-2015) can be a useful and creative tool to approach questions related to the history of advertising and advertising as a career, as well as to develop certain some transversal skills. This paper offers a pedagogical proposal for specifically advertising-related courses through a synthetic tour across the main issues of exploitation of Weiner’s fiction.
