admen

Slogan crafting professionals

Admen is the plural of adman—a man who works in advertising, especially in a creative or executive role.

The term evokes the mid-twentieth-century advertising industry: Madison Avenue admen in gray flannel suits.

It can sound dated or deliberately retro, though it remains in use.

The gender-neutral alternative is ad people or advertising professionals.
