Ad students want to be mentored by some of the industry’s best, but travel fare is expensive and email communication can only take you so far. Check out what Seneca College is doing with the use of video chat platforms on Google to organize hangouts with the world’s real-life “Mad Men.”

June 19th Hangout:

An initiative organized by the Creative Advertising program at Seneca, this web hangout series will be running on Tuesdays this month and next, exposing young minds to some brilliant people who are doing some cool shit in the advertising business. Thanks to this feature on Google+, they will have both “suits” and “creatives” tuning in from Canada, the U.S.A and Europe.

Panelists Locations: Toronto, New York, Amsterdam, Boston, Portland, Los Angeles
Dates: June 12th, June 19th, July 3rd, July 10th
