    The One Club for Creativity wraps up a successful Portfolio Night 2024

    Mumbai: The One Club for Creativity concluded the third edition of Portfolio Night 2024 in Mumbai and has become one of the most important networking events for the creative industry. The event took place on 10 October (virtual) and 11 October (Mumbai) 2024. Fostering connections between emerging talent and established creatives; Portfolio Night is an ecosystem of creative development, the launchpad of careers, and a major force in shaping the future of creativity.

    The event was held at the Ecole Intuit Lab in Mumbai and was co-hosted by agencies under Omnicom Advertising Group – BBDO India, DDB Mudra Group, and TBWAIndia. It brought together 110 emerging creatives with diverse academic backgrounds in design, planning, direction, content writing and so on.

    BBDO India chairman & CEO Josy Paul, kicked off  the event with an inspiring speech. This was followed by an energetic, fast -paced evening of one-to-one portfolio reviews by the jury panel of 30 jurors over the two days.  

    “Portfolio night is really about a portfolio of creative values: Originality, freedom, fearlessness, love, passion and belief. That’s what I was looking for. It is as much about the people as it is about the work. And I got all of it. For that’s what I saw, felt and experienced at this electric night. Thank you for the collision of emerging talent and established creatives. It was alchemy. The future of creativity is shining bright” said, Josy.

    Speaking about this year’s juror experience, DDB Mudra Group CCO Rahul Mathew said, “While the Portfolio Night may come across as a night of evaluation by the creative heads, it’s also an introduction. We’re introduced to where the talent is headed and what the future has in store for our industry. And once again we leave reassured and confident that the future of creativity is bright.”

    TBWA India chief creative experience officer Russell Barrett commented, “As always it was an amazing experience to interact with the energy and the openness of the future of our industry. This year I saw a number of portfolios that were not from the traditional areas of creativity – animators, cinematographers, UX, UI designers. While a good number of the other portfolios had experiential and innovation ideas too. It’s great that the portfolios at portfolio night are keeping pace with the rapid changes we’re seeing all around us.”

    Sukanya Aggarwal emerged as the winner at the Portfolio Night Mumbai while Udo Döhler Neto won the virtual pan-India Portfolio Night. They’ve both earned the chance to participate in the prestigious global Portfolio Night All-Stars program. This program brings together creatives with winning portfolios from all host cities. These lucky All-Stars will work in global teams on a brief from a major brand and attend seminars and recruiting sessions.  At the end of the week, each team presents their pitch, with the winning Portfolio Night All-Stars flown to New York by The One Club for Creative Week 2025.

    Levine/Leavitt Artist In Residence Award

    For the 10th consecutive year, international artists management agency and Young Guns sponsor Levine/Leavitt will also bestow one talented YG21 winner with the Artist In Residence Award.

    The honor is presented annually to a newly crowned Young Gun whose body of work truly stands out, as judged by an advisory board of industry professionals across a range of disciplines.  The winner receives a full year of professional development, guidance and mentorship from Levine/Leavitt to help advance their career.

    All Young Guns winners receive a unique version of the iconic Young Guns Cube, designed exclusively for this year’s incoming class, and have their permanent profile page added to the Young Guns website.  Winners also get a complimentary one-year One Club for Creativity membership, permanent membership in the Young Guns network, and a chance to be featured in Young Guns events.

    Program branding and design of the YG Cube award itself is reimagined each year by a past Young Gun winner.  This year’s YG21 branding was created by Zuzanna Rogatty (YG18), senior designer at COLLINS New York.
