About

Herman "Duck" Phillips is the former head of account services at the Sterling Cooper advertising agency; he's now at Grey.

While working at Sterling Cooper, Duck instructs employees to land accounts with the airline, automobile, and pharmaceutical industries with mixed results. He also engineers the merger of the agency with London-based Puttnam, Powell and Lowe. Though Duck was promised a position atop the hierarchy, Don Draper threatens to resign rather than report to him, and Duck ends up leaving the company.

Duck has an ex-wife with whom he shares a son and daughter. For some time, Duck avoided alcohol, but begins drinking again around the time of the Sterling Cooper merger with PPL.

Seeking to bring new talent to Grey, Duck attempts to woo Pete and < a href="http://www.amctv.com/originals/madmen/cast/polson">Peggy away from Sterling Cooper. Pete rebuffs him outright, but Peggy contemplates his offer. Though she eventually refuses to jump ship, Duck offers to give Peggy a "go around like you’ve never had," and she and Duck begin a romantic affair.
