In Person and Virtual Portfolio Night 2023 Set for India

Mumbai: Young creatives in India looking to break into the industry can now get tickets for The One Club for Creativity’s global Portfolio Night, hosted by BBDO India, DDB Mudra Group, TBWA\India.

Established in 2003, Portfolio Night has long been recognised as the world’s largest advertising portfolio review program.  This fast-paced evening of advice, networking and recruitment takes place in dozens of cities around the world on the same date to help the next generation of creative talent entering the industry.  

BBDO India, DDB Mudra Group, and TBWA\India will host a virtual Pan-India Portfolio Night on June 8, followed by an in-person version in Mumbai on June 9. A complete list of all 25 cities is here.  Tickets for young creatives interested in attending Portfolio Night 2023 are available here.

Portfolio Night is an important event in advertising because it serves as the gateway for young talent to enter the industry, enabling the best of the present — hundreds of renowned international creative directors — to meet and mentor the leaders of the future in industry hubs around the world.

It has also become a crucial tool for agencies in recruiting top young talent, providing a platform for recognition from local industry peers, and giving agencies a place on the global stage as the ad world tunes in to this one-of-a-kind event.

The program includes Portfolio Night All-Stars, a weeklong virtual program where each city host selects one young creative in their market with the best portfolio to participate. These lucky All-Stars will work in teams on a brief from a major global brand sponsor to be determined, and attend seminars and recruiting sessions.  At the end of the week, each team presents their pitch, with the winning team being flown to New York by The One Club for a week of events and networking opportunities.

Branding for Portfolio Night 2023 was created by Nana Rausch at Quick Honey, based in New York and Berlin.Unlike for-profit awards shows, The One Club is a non-profit organisation that puts revenue generated from awards entries back into the industry in the form of programs under its four pillars: Education, Inclusion & Diversity, Gender Equality and Creative Development.
