To nurture young talent in the industry by giving them an opportunity to showcase their ideas to the most creative minds of the country, JWT India has announced the launch of the 11^th edition of Portfolio Night.

On the global platform, the event is keenly sought after by young creatives who want to make it big in the advertising world and seasoned creative directors who scout for great talent. Portfolio Night 10 took place in 18 cities around the world and over the past ten years the platform has seen a beeline of young copywriters, art directors and designers eager to participate and meet the ad gurus they revere and hold in high esteem.

Colvyn Harris, CEO, JWT South Asia, said, “We are delighted to host Portfolio Night 11 and would like it to be an entry point for unleashing creativity in the new world order. Portfolio Night is an ideal platform that identifies and recognises fresh creative talent and offers them a unique opportunity of getting mentored and nurtured by the best in the advertising fraternity. This is also the perfect opportunity for industry experts to give back to the industry, by guiding aspiring young creatives and helping them carve out a niche for themselves.”

The platform is open to young creative professionals from advertising, digital and design agencies and also senior students of art colleges. JWT India will viral the promotional campaign through broadcast and digital medium.
