We’re always looking for creative ways to help our users learn the ins and outs of LinkedIn. Knowing that the average office worker can only watch a screenshot tutorial for a few seconds before the onset of spontaneous narcolepsy, we developed a fun, retro-themed webseries for small and medium business owners with the help of FedEx. Over six episodes, you’ll follow small business owners John, Alice and Stanley as they seek to grow their operations from home office to professional workspace, hire an experienced team, find corporate partners, and more. And with John running a small design firm, Alice piloting an independent bakery, and Stanley steering a boutique manufacturing shop, hopefully everyone can find something to relate to.

Mad Men may depict the ad world of the 1960s, but the lessons of this successful AMC show depicting the Madison Avenue world of 50 years ago still has a lot of relevance in today’s digital environment of 2010 and beyond. While Don Draper barely respected the world of the television commercial and certainly couldn’t have imagined Wikipedia or Facebook, there is still a lot we can learn — including the mistakes — from the Sterling Cooper team.

I originally posted this on Techcrunch , and cross-posted here on the Web Strategy blog.
