Trudy Campbell is married to Pete Campbell, an Account Executive at the Sterling Cooper advertising agency. The two live on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in a Park Avenue apartment. Her father, a salesman for Vicks Chemical, helped her husband get the Clearasil account for Sterling Cooper. Trudy herself tried to help Pete with his literary aspirations by speaking with an ex-boyfriend in the publishing industry. Her actions on Pete's behalf secured his short story a place in Boys' Life. Trudy's inability to get pregnant and Pete's ambivalence about becoming a parent cause her anxiety.
