Don Draper’s Presentation for Kodak’s new slide projector from MadMen.
From AMC blog for Mad Men “In the season finale, Don Draper (Jon Hamm) is charged with landing the valuable account for Kodak’s new slide projector which incorporates a new device which they’re calling “The Wheel.” Don advocates a different name: “The Carousel.” His presentation, built around slides of his own family, reduces one of his own employees to tears and floors the Kodak representatives.”
AMC has the complete slide show he gave slide by slide along with the original copy he spoke. The images are higher quality than the YouTube video and you can take your time.
Re-experience Don Draper’s presentation for Kodak slide by slide.
Look for great quotes like the ones below in the above slide show:
“This device isn’t a spaceship, it’s a time machine.”
“It goes backwards and forwards.”
“It’s not called ‘The Wheel.’ It’s called ‘The Carousel.’”
“It lets us travel the way a child travels.”

Mad Men Don Pitches the Kodak Carousel video
If you have not seen the original then this is a good look back in time around 1962. It deals with many of the images and stories we came to associate with Kodak and their products and how the advertising business was done in rooms filled with cigarette smoke.
Please take our survey: Have you seen a slide show?
