Portfolio Night, a one-night-only event which takes place in cities around the world, brings emerging advertising copywriters, art directors and designers together with creative directors for a night of advice, networking and recruitment. The event will be taking place at the Vega School of Brand Leadership in Johannesburg and Cape Town on 21 May.
Now in its twelfth edition, Portfolio Night was founded by Ignacio Oreamuno, Executive Director of the Art Directors Club and IHAVEANIDEA, an online resource for advertising professionalsof which he is also the founder. It is presented by the Art Directors Club, an international organisation which awards leaders in creative communications, and is brought to South Africa by advertising agency McCann.
As well as serving as a kind of “speed-dating’ for creatives, the event will afford one attending advertising professional the chance to be one of 24 creatives selected for a trip to New York to compete in a week long creative challenge, involving a real creative brief for a real client.
Tickets cost $10 (approximately R100) and can be purchased from the Eventbrite website for Johannesburg and Cape Town.
