The secret lives of Midwest ad execs

Apparently those Midwest ad executives aren’t as staid as one might think. Take, for example, Joe Hanson, who was most recently employed in the corporate communications department at Leo Burnett. It seems that Hanson, who was also a contestant on Beauty and the Geek, has made quite a name for himself on Current TV. His film series won first prize in the network’s debut film competition. He’s been so successful, in fact, that he’s left the advertising world for a gig at the cable net.
