How would you feel the moment before you sat down to show your portfolio to the writer of arguably the best commercial in history? Nervous about what he might say? Afraid he might rip into you? Confident that your book will stand up to such scrutiny?

Those of you who are attending ihaveanidea’s Portfolio Night 6 in New York just might get that opportunity, as Steve Hayden, Vice-Chairman, Worldwide Creative Director of Ogilvy & Mather, has added his name to the list of world-class creative directors participating this year. Hayden has a body of great work that could fill a few award annuals all on its own, but perhaps his most notable piece is a little spot you might’ve heard of for Apple MacIntosh called “1984.”

But to have a chance of getting that moment-before feeling, you’ll have to buy a ticket, and New York City is almost sold out – only sixteen tickets left at the time of this posting! For the ever growing list of CDs, ticket info and everything else, click here.

Stay tuned!

The New York creative director list for ihaveanidea’s Portfolio Night 6 has just begun, and already we have some of the city’s most awarded CDs on board for May 8th! Some of these esteemed names belong to people who have been featured on ihaveanidea before, in our popular interviews and agency profiles. These include (and click on the links for the ihaveanidea stories – consider it research) Paul Lavoie, Chairman & CCO of TAXI, Ari Merkin, Founder & CCO of Toy, and Ted Royer, ECD of Droga5.

Of course there are others on the list, with many more to come over the next few weeks. Keep your eyes peeled for more info.
