BOB LEVINSON
Advertising Consultant

Bob Levinson earned his bachelor’s degree from Beloit College in Beloit, Wisconsin in 1960. Following graduation, he went on to work at BBDO Advertising in New York, where he started as a media trainee and rose through the ranks to ultimately become senior vice president in charge of television programming, and in 1977 was appointed to the company’s board of directors.

Levinson left BBDO in 1979 to work for Highgate Pictures, a small production company based in New York. He then moved on to the world of talent agencies, working at Sy Fisher before transitioning to ICM in New York, where he served as head of the television department for two years before transferring to the Los Angeles office in 1989. In 1993, Levinson left the agency for two years to produce two telefilms for NBC before returning to ICM, which is where his connection to Mad Men began. He was given a copy of the pilot script to read and, having worked in the advertising world during the time that the series is set, Levinson felt connected to each of the characters and was amazed at how accurately series creator Matthew Weiner depicted that era. In 2008, Levinson left ICM, where he had served as executive vice president of worldwide television and, since then, in addition to his work with Mad Men, has consulted with a number of broadcast companies.
