Creativity sees no bar. A creative person only learns more things from another creative person. There is no better of way to improve than to keep your mind open and unprejudiced. And with the immense battle going on between brands out there in the market, advertising agencies need to be armed with the best of creative minds.

Ogilvy India has kicked off a road show to promote Portfolio Night 8 to young creative professionals in Indian ad agencies.

Things are only expected to get better as more activities are planned and are to follow this week.
