The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
I wear many intern hats here at Quaker City Mercantile. As I’ve stated before, everyday is different here at the agency. I’ve recently been trusted to proofread various pieces we are going to send out to our clients. For example,…
It has been about three months since I have started interning, which is so hard to believe! I cannot get over how fast the semester has been flying by. I am delighted to say that I have been enjoying my…
I just came across this design/branding project early this morning. I have to say it is one of the most inspiring and creative ideas that I have seen lately. The point is to increase awareness for Rock Hill, South Carolina.…
The Webbys is an award show celebrating excellence on the Internet. And since the medium is virutally endless, they’ve broken it down into several categories: Websites, Online film & video, Interactive Advertising, and Mobile / Apps. From their, each section…
[ Submitted by Dani Masi, Advertising Copywriting Student :: tub49931@temple.edu ] What better way to spend a rainy Friday afternoon then visiting Philadelphia ad agencies? Friday was the annual Philly Ad Club Agency Crawl. 50 students from universities and colleges…
Pixar recently uploaded this video to their YouTube channel in promotion of Cars 2. This is their second viral video, after last years (much better) Lots-o’-Huggin Bear spot for Toy Story 3. What do you think? Is this too… weird…
An advertisement for Zyrtec popped up recently during an episode of Desperate Housewives on Hulu (yes, I still watch that show, ha-ha), and it’s desperate attempt to stand out against Allegra was disappointing. You can watch the commercial for yourself here,…
If I had a dream account to work on, I think I’d have to go with Skittles. Of course, I’m basing this solely off of the completely insane and original advertising they have already (I don’t even particularly like candy).…
(my space, how it is, most of the time I’m at my internship)For all of you who can balance your school work, your internship, your job, and your personal life without pounds of chocolate and an IV of coffee, you…
The agency I intern for, Quaker City Mercantile, attends various events where they showcase our products. On Sunday, March 13th I was lucky enough to work at the event entitled Brewer’s Plate at…
People have been asking me lately, why are you an advertising major, interning at a radio station, and going to law school in fall? And my favorite question is, why aren’t you pre-law? Well first off there is no such…
A part of the promotions coordinator/interns job is to call the prize winners from our KYW database. See, on the KYW website you can register to win monthly prizes. The prizes are various, from things such as gift certificates to…
Today’s post is about street art. It was a huge trend that picked up on a mainstream scale in the late 90’s and has continued to gain popularity among the public. Unfortunately with public recognition comes what some would call…
Last friday was opening day for the Phillies, and luckily for me I got to work a promotions event for WOGL. I was super excited because I had never actually done any promo events yet. I usually would just make…
Alright, I didn’t download and post all of the images associated with Jeremy Pettis’ feat. There are just way too many so below is only a taste. Go see the full set here. Anyways, the story behind this is simple.…
My friend and design consultant, Justin Morris, was recently indicted into lettercult. Now this isn’t the Pulitzer prize, but in the design world it is pretty rad to have your work posted on here. Justin is a Tyler School of…
I discovered this from the most excellent Ad Teachings– definitely a must follow for anyone on Tumblr. SAS came up with an innovative way to get people to enter into their contest and provide free advertising. I love how they…

If you are one of the lucky ones with an iPad 2: these covers / stands are a must-see: miniot iPad 2 covers. They offer free engraving as well!
I saw this on Mashable the other day and thought it was just so darn precious. What a seamless blend of interactivity and brand awareness. Although, I guess it’s pretty easy to please your target demo when they’re dogs?
Some interesting photo pieces by Oliver Ratsi. Ratsi is a French artist with an unfortunate flash built website, but I’ll look past it after seeing these photos. Basically if you couldn’t see it already, Oliver has deconstructed architecture that he…
Some say that photography is the most complicated art to pursue. While there a lot of problems with that phrase and a lot artists that would love to combat, this is primarily true. It’s hard to be original with a…
