BLACK BAG, North America’s creative talent attraction consultancy – with practice areas in talent attraction consulting, creative recruitment and strategic career planning and coaching, was founded by Heidi Ehlers, and was ihaveanidea’s first sponsor (unsolicited) when the project started six years ago. BLACK BAG re-joins ihaveanidea in its mandate to globally promote the advertising industry and will be a part of ihaveanidea's events and educational initiatives for the coming year.


"We're thrilled to have Heidi and her team at BLACK BAG back as an on-going partner of ihaveanidea and as a Gold sponsor for this years Portfolio Night 5 World Tour. BLACK BAG is a top creative talent consultancy in North America and we're looking forward to working with them on some really exciting projects to help push the brand and their services to the international level." says Ignacio Oreamuno, president, ihaveanidea.

“Since my first conversation with Ignacio I have been impressed with the scale of his thinking. Nothing is insurmountable, everything is achievable, no goal is too large, and a problem is merely an opportunity to provide a solution. Even the reason behind the creation of ihaveanidea was a response to a problem he’d come up against. Where is the information creative people need to launch a career in advertising? So he created it. To be able to partner with ihaveanidea, and help launch careers, sustain careers, transform brands through the attraction of the right talent, the conversations line up.”
