The One Club for Creativity has announced five talented young creatives who were selected as 2024 Portfolio Night All-Stars Grand Prize winners, each receiving a free trip to Creative Week 2025 in New York.
Established in 2003, Portfolio Night has long been recognized as the world’s largest advertising portfolio review program, taking place in dozens of cities around the world on the same date to help the next generation of creative talent entering the industry.
One participant from each of last year’s 26 cities was selected as a Portfolio Night All-Star, as determined by industry professionals who hosted the events. The PN All-Stars then participated in a virtual creative bootcamp in January, where they worked on a brief from Perdue Farms and its agency Colle McVoy, and attended online seminars and recruiting sessions.
Based on that brief, the following five PN All-Stars were selected as Grand Prize winners:
--Karina Llanos, copywriter, social media (PN-Santa Cruz, hosted by Circulo Creativo Bolivia)
--Sam Rauch, art director, graphic designer, filmmaker (PN-Austin, co-hosted by Hahn, Job Propulsion Lab, and Mathys & Potestio)
--Marc Smith Jr, graphic designer, illustrator (PN-Cleveland, hosted by Brokaw)
--Nehashree Tatavarthi, graphic designer, UX/UI (PN-San Francisco, co-hosted by Ace The Market, CAN CAN Studio, and Odysseus Arms)
--Cora Veltman, art director (PN-Charleston, hosted by book180)
Judging the briefs was a panel consisting of Jody Hallman, VP, Integrated Marketing, Perdue Farms; and three from Colle McVoy: Ciro Sarmiento, CCO; Meghan Figueroa, GCD; and Katie Walley-Wiegart, head of brand comms and marketing.
