ADC, the first global creative collective of its kind and the longest standing organization championing the visual arts, announced today the winners of its second annual Portfolio Night All-Stars competition, which is presented by JWT.
The week long competition will focus on a creative brief for sports company PUMA. The All-Stars were selected from thousands of participants at Portfolio Night, a one-night international creative portfolio review and recruitment event in May. They will be flown to New York City for an intensive planning and creating session beginning Aug. 4.
Portfolio Night All-Stars, listed in full below, are the best of the best in upcoming creative talent. Carefully selected by top creative directors worldwide, the All-Stars will receive an opportunity to build a campaign for an innovative brand like PUMA.
“The 24 All-Stars are truly that – each one is talented and capable of bringing fresh new ideas into the industry,” said Frederic Bonn, Executive Creative Director at JWT. “I can’t wait to see what they have in store for PUMA.”
The All-Stars competition takes place the week of August 4. The Opening Ceremony will be at ADC’s New York City Gallery at 10 a.m. that morning.
