Leo Burnett Indonesia recently hosted Jakarta’s first-ever Portfolio Night, a significant event that brought together the country’s emerging creative talent and top industry professionals under one roof. Held last Thursday, this highly anticipated evening marked Indonesia’s debut in The One Club for Creativity’s renowned global initiative, giving aspiring creatives a unique opportunity to connect with agency leaders, gain insights, and elevate their craft.
With more than 75 young creatives participating, the event became a platform for one-on-one portfolio reviews, where experienced creative directors and agency leaders offered personalized feedback and industry advice. Now in its 21st year, Portfolio Night has been held in over 70 countries, with local partners like Leo Burnett Indonesia helping to foster the next generation of talent.
Throughout the afternoon, students and budding creatives received tailored guidance on refining their portfolios and supercharging their creative ideas. The event left participants inspired and better equipped to navigate their creative journeys, with some receiving early career leads from Jakarta’s leading agencies.
Commenting on it Sony Nichani, CEO of Publicis Groupe Indonesia, said, “Never before have young creatives in Indonesia had the chance to meet so many creatives at once and the opportunity to learn from the best. As an agency that supports the industry’s transformation through the development of aspiring creatives, Leo Burnett Indonesia is committed to hosting Portfolio Night, with the ambition that it becomes a major force in shaping the future of creativity in Indonesia.”
Mudit Trevedi, Managing Director at Publicis Groupe Indonesia, talked about the significance of the event,
“Jakarta’s advertising industry is relatively young, so there aren’t many opportunities for creative students to interact within the industry and learn from established creatives. By bringing Portfolio Night to Indonesia, Leo Burnett Indonesia hopes to shape a generation of creatives who are passionate about world- class creativity, and hungry to make transformative work for the country’s best clients.”
