UPDATE: My name is Bud Caddell and I'm a Strategist at the New York based digital think-tank Undercurrent. On Twitter I'm also known as Bud Melman, a mailroom clerk at Sterling Cooper Advertising in 1962. As promised, I've written a behind the scenes look into Mad Men on Twitter, including what it could mean for the future of media and entertainment.

Read my thoughts on Becoming Fan Focused (NEW).
Fan fiction. Brand hijacking. Copyright misuse. Sheer devotion. Call it what you will, but we call it the blurred line between content creators and content consumers, and it's not going away. We're your biggest fans, your die-hard proponents, and when your show gets cancelled we'll be among the first to pass around the petition. Talk to us. Befriend us. Engage us. But please, don't treat us like criminals.
This site exists to catalogue the conversation around AMC's Mad Men and its fanbase across the social web. But it's just the beginning. 'We are Sterling Cooper' is a rallying cry to brands and fans alike to come together and create together.
