My name is Anikó Tóth and I work as a copywriter in DDB.
How did you imagine the event, what were your expectations?
It's very hard to find a job when you're freshly graduated.
This is why I grabbed this opportunity where I could show my portfolio.
It's very rare to get a job in the advertising world when you have no contacts.
But at this event I met with creative directors who treated me like a partner.
They gave me some very good advice.
What has happened since? How did your life change?
I got some business cards on Portfolio Night.
And I did some tests for creative directors, what they liked.
But it was not the end.
I had to be very persistent.
It took more than 2 months to finally get into the agency.
How is the advertising industry different inside than outside?
It's more complex than I thought before.
The teamwork is really important.
We have to be in tune with each other,...
...we have to be able to look into the thoughts of our partners...
...and we have to also complement each other to get a good result at the end.
What do you suggest to those who intend to participate at Portfolio Night?
I suggest to copywriters to find a good drawer among their friends...
...and to prepare for the event together because...
...it's much easier to present the ideas if you show pictures of hem.
