Portfolio Night 2023

This year we combined Portfolio Night and the Golden Saw resulting in an unforgettable evening accompanied by cold pizzas!

We kicked off this season with Portfolio Night! A huge thank you to Club Ace for hosting and our Friends from Neew, N=5, Today’s Milk, Cheil, Roorda, Springbok, Boomerang, Dentsu, Dept, Lemon Scented Tea, DDB, Indie, Wolfstreet, Media.Monks and TBWA for lending your time to helping young talent continue to break into the industry.

Our mission here at YoungDogs is to open as many doors as possible for young creatives like access to Creative Directors, the opportunity to pitch to big brands, and of course the opportunity to go to Cannes! So stay tuned for what we’ve got in store for 2024…

Golden Saw

Together with Marketing Tribune’s Peter van Woensel Kooy and INDIE’s Lode Schaeffer, we were honoured to help award this year’s Golden Saw. The Golden Saw recognises portfolios from young talent — highlighting the importance of bringing new ideas to the table. Congratulations to this year’s winner, Giulia Ballerio who took home the gold! And a shoutout to our runners-up, Daan Coelman, Thijs Mosterman, Hanna & Nina, Natalia Zapata and Donja van der Stelt. The future of our industry is in incredibly safe hands (and thankfully so because saws are dangerous).
