JWT India's Portfolio Night saw top 28 creative honchos!

JWT India’s Portfolio Night brought together advertising industry’s legends and bright young creatives under one roof over an eclectic and engaging evening at JWT’s Mumbai office.
JWT India’s Portfolio Night 11 saw the advertising industry’s top 28 creative honchos* interacting and evaluating portfolios of 90 young creatives. Each Creative Chief met with three aspiring creatives to assess each of their portfolios and share feedback.

“It was wonderful to see 90 bright, young minds unleashing their creativity with the legends of Indian advertising. A spectacular evening well-conceived.  JWT India hosted Portfolio Night with a view to give back to the industry and to recognize and guide aspiring young creatives carve a career for themselves”, said Colvyn Harris, CEO JWT South Asia. “I would specially like to thank my phenomenal team at JWT who have worked tirelessly and put in their best to create this wonderful event. Our ‘Eye-Opener’ campaign has been very well received both online and off-line and I would like to thank the industry for coming together to make it a success”, he added.

The 360 degree campaign was a phenomenal success. The popular myths were crowd-sourced from the young advertising community who participated by tweeting their myths on advertising. JWT Mumbai developed those thoughts across social media, posters, TVCs, outdoor and radio spots. Students whose tweets have been picked will be given prizes.

The judges were welcomed into the JWT Mumbai office where Portfolio Night’s ‘Eye-Opener’ theme was brought alive across various elements such as atrium drop-downs, posters on advertising terminology and innovative merchandising across the office.  Caricatures of each of the Creative Directors adorned their respective judging stations transforming the JWT office into a vibrant and colourful venue. The evening was electric; and was marked with great food, great music and great industry camaraderie.
