Mission Statement
Our mission is to dramatically shape the future of the advertising industry for the better.
Who Are We?
IHAVEANIDEA is the community of the international advertising industry, one of the oldest and longest running websites dedicated to advertising. Founded in 2001 by Ignacio Oreamuno, IHAVEANIDEA was conceived as an online resource for advertising professionals and lovers to share their knowledge and experience, with the belief that such an exchange would benefit all within the advertising industry.
Over the years, IHAVEANIDEA has grown in scale and scope, and has formed a significant offline presence as well. With a globally connected network, IHAVEANIDEA is able to aptly pair potential with need through its recruitment resources for both agencies and job-seekers alike. Columns such as "Ask Jancy," penned by former Chief Creative Officers of Ogilvy & Mather Toronto and Co-Founders of Swim, Janet Kestin and Nancy Vonk, share wisdom and advice, while events such as the annual globe-spanning Portfolio Night allow thousands of esteemed creative directors and aspiring creatives to meet for advice, mentorship, recruitment and camaraderie around the world.
IHAVEANIDEA is also the force behind the Tomorrow Awards, recognizing boundary-breaking and innovative work, by removing categories and conventions, and the founders of Giant Hydra, a mass collaboration network on a global scale that allows agencies to deliver excellence beyond their internal resources.
IHAVEANIDEA maintains an "informal but informed" tone that has made it a favorite of like-minded decision makers, and creative industry professionals worldwide.

Well, a week later we should all be almost recovered from the Tomorrow Awards Conference and Ceremony in Amsterdam last Tuesday.
“Now I know why they are called the #tomorrowawards – I’ve awarded myself a lovely hangover today,” IHAVEANIDEA contributor and ECD at Tribal DDB Amsterdam Chris Baylis tweeted.
That sums it up nicely.

Ignacio and Brianna are already in town, making all of the last minute preparations for what is bound to be another crazy and very inspiring day next Tuesday.
