To celebrate the team-up of Mediabistro and Miami Ad School and celebrate Advertising Week as well, we threw a soiree at the HK Lounge in Hell’s Kitchen last night. Just wanted to say thanks to Pippa, the MB events crew and those who attended and paid attention to my rambling speech over the din of the bar. Anyhow, one of the main goals of the event, which was packed enough to stoke one’s claustrophobia for a good hour, was to promote MB’s and Miami Ad School’s new Creative Pro program.

Creative Pro was launched to help to help junior creative types who aren’t ready or able to go full-time schools get a career boost via portfolio critiques from people in the industry, interactive webcasts and video libraries. Well, enough of our plugging. Check out the video below for more info and view more party pics here.
