For five years in a row, Budapest is “Hungary” for Portfolio Night festivities.

Portfolio Night 13,  the world’s largest advertising portfolio review, is excited to announce that Budapest will be involved in the global event for what will be the fifth consecutive year. Guided all of those years by local agency/production studio Umbrella, this year’s event will become even bigger than ever as Umbrella passes the baton to MAKSZ (A Magyarországi Kommunikációs Ügynökségek Szövetsége) the Hungarian Advertising Association.

“It’s always special when the advertising club of a city or country plays host to Portfolio Night,” says Sarah West, Portfolio Night Global Manager. “They are truly in a position to champion their part of the world and all of the agencies that call it home. MAKSZ stands to do an incredible job at shining the spotlight on Hungarian creativity — especially the up-and-comers!”
