It’s the “sexiest man” season, where major publications are choosing the hottest of the hot. Why is it that our attractive, smart, successful men of advertising never make the list? So, think how peeved we were to see that Salon.com has selected 36-year old Jon Hamm who plays Don Draper on Bravo’s Mad Men. So close and yet, so very far.

Real world advertising advertising guys do it better. Trust.

So…. Welcome to the First Annual Sexiest Man In Advertising Awards! (applause) Our contenders are a mash-up of bigwigs and ADs, interactive designers, as well as Clio winners. We picked these fellows based on their quality of work and general well… hotness. The latter qualification was determined by a group of ten ladies in advertising to whom we owe a great deal of thanks.
