Tips before you start your SPEC portfolio - select ads


Get Your foot in the door into the advertising arena


Remember concepts, Headlines are magical and have no connection to a fixed, planned strategy. Let go and watch them appear while you’re watching cricket or a movie or a boring serial - in fact anywhere...you never know! So be ready and handy with writing materials or a mobile to jot ideas.
