RMIT launches ‘speed dating with your portfolio’ event

The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology has joined forces with the ad industry to launch a speed dating-style event for students and agencies.

Seventy-five third year students will get three 10-minute interviews with creatives, media executives and strategists, when they can present their work and get a feel for what a real interview is like at an agency.

The event will take place on 22 May in the studios of Nine network in Melbourne.

Twenty agencies have been approached so far, with Clemenger BBDO, Whybin TBWA, McCann, and Badjar Ogilvy confirmed to take part.

The event, called the RMIT Advertising Pitch Night, is being organised through Kerin Brearley at RMIT’s School of Media and Communication.

Is this to replace or in conjunction with “I have an Idea” world portfolio night?
