“Portfolio Night is a 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,” said Kevin Swanepoel, CEO, The One Club for Creativity. “These All-Stars represent the best of this year’s participants, and we’re excited to see what creative ideas they come up with.”
Branding for Portfolio Night 2023 was created by Nana Rausch at Quick Honey, based in New York and Berlin.
