Show work you want to do more of.
Spend more time thinking than you do comping or writing. Make sure the insight and idea are great before you move into execution stage.
1) Keep it simple
2) look for inspiration from other portfolios
3) tell a story- give context- what problem you solved - make sure you give credit to your entire team - explain the process & how it fits into your POV as a creative
4) share with at least 3-5 people you trust to proofread and provide feedback

Don’t make videos (unless you have produced film). No one wants to watch case studies for spec ads.
Even if you have a video, share images from the campaign, too
Because most CDs don't want to watch a student video.
Show your process and explain in as much detail as you can how you got to the final result.
Don’t use Wix
Go easy on descriptor copy, pictures are nicer and more impressive.
