CREATIVE DIRECTORS CHICAGO

ATTENTION!

Portfolio Night 7, Chicago is SOLD OUT, but that isn’t stopping us from finding new ways to make the night better and more beneficial. GERTRUDE and Captivate Network (the people who brought you those elevator TV screens) are teaming up to bring a late-breaking added perk to the PN7, Chicago experience. Reviewers will be keeping an eye out for the most exemplary student work from the evening, writing down the name(s) of the young creative(s) and the piece/campaign that they felt represented the best of the best and submitting entries to GERTRUDE. The pieces will be reviewed and the Top 5 ads will be featured on a best-of PN7, Chicago spot which will be displayed on the Captivate Network elevator screens in agency buildings across Chicago for all to see.
