Creative Forces Collide at Lincoln Financial Field

Posted by Josh Tumelty on 2 June 2010 | 0 Comments

On Thursday, May 20^th creative professionals from 39 different countries around the world united with a common purpose — to celebrate the next generation of creative talent. The event? Portfolio Night 8 — the largest simultaneous career speed-dating night event for aspiring copywriters and art directors in search of creative cultivation.

This year the event finally made its way to the City of Brotherly Love, and brought with it a plethora of talent seated on both sides of the table. In attendance were some of Philly's top creative directors, who were there to critique the work and provide industry related advice. Garfield Group had the distinguished honor of sending two of its own creative directors, Nicole Boyd and Joshua Tumelty, who were honored to play such a vital role in nurturing the next-generation of creative professionals and were even hoping to jump start a few careers. Excited by the opportunity, we set out hoping to find a few rising stars to add to our roster.

Six hours later, over 400 portfolios shared had been shared and many connections were made. Despite the abundance of talent and great creative and the event ended as enthusiastic as it started.

Many connections were made and the group as a whole left that evening with an increased appreciation for all things creative. Garfield Group however also ended the evening still looking to fill two openings in our current roster.

Think you've got what it takes? Maybe we didn't get a chance to meet that night, or perhaps you know someone who's perfect for the job. If you're looking for a dynamic environment that will challenge you and push you to your personal best, then we're just what you've been looking for.
