Portfolio Night

Last night we attended ihaveanidea's portfolio night in Boston. Portfolio night was held simultaneously in several cities accross the US and Canada, and seeks to bring together advertising professionals and students preparing to enter the field. Students get 15 minutes of face time with at least 3 senior creative directors who review their work and counsel them on the market. In Boston the event was sponsored by Modernista and included big names from that shop as well as from Hill Holliday, Arnold, Mullen, and others.

We were there with our camera documenting the evening and interviewing key players, so prepare for some new video soon. In particular we spoke with Kevin Moehlenkamp, CCO of Hill Holliday about HH's site going to blog format, and had a good session with Shane Hutton and Tim Vaccarino, Creative Directors at Modernista discussing ads in the age of consumer empowerment and what it takes to find new ideas and talent. Stay tuned!
