Our mission is to create opportunities for young talent to deliver the best work and reach their full potential within the advertising industry.
Through pitches, we believe that YoungDogs not only help shape young creatives but also the brands we team up with, gaining true insights into young peoples minds, how they see the brand, and what they would do if they had a seat at the table.
Next to the practice of a real pitch and all that comes with it, the winners of each pitch will also be paid in another experience: The chance to go to the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity.
We believe different perspectives equals growth. We all work for different companies fulltime but rock JongeHonden every spare second we have. We, as board members, get a real kick out of making our future creatives the best creatives possible.
And because of this we’re always on the lookout for nice briefs and cool clients. Contact us if you have any questions on organising a pitch, throwing a Creative Class or becoming one of our friends. We’re here to help.
“It’s the weird perspectives, crazy ideas and rebellious souls of young creative minds that will form the future of the creative industry.“
We ask the client to give a presentation about the brand and the briefing and we ask our agency friends to give a small inspiration session. At the end of the night we hand out the briefing to the YoungDogs.
On our website we post the briefing so YoungDogs that couldn’t make it to the briefing can still participate.
After one week, YoungDogs can enter the lottery to get their chance to gain feedback from some of our guest judges via a quick 15 minute video call.
After two weeks the YoungDogs enter their work via their profile on our website. In video, jpegs or a PDF.
We ask the client and two or three different guest Creative Directors to judge the work. The board guides the session but does not participate in the actual judging, leaving the opinions to come from the true pros.
A night of excitement and disappointment, the judges will announce the top 3 and some hounorable mentions.The winners (1st place) get to go to Cannes.
