My Visit to McCann Erickson

My internship with Avis Budget Group and my socializing and networking there led me to some great opportunities. In a previous post I talked about the importance of networking, and I also talked about how from socializing at my internship,…

Final Days at Skai Blue Media

As the end of the summer approaches and everyone is getting ready to start the fall semester, I can’t help but look back at the days I’ve spent at Skai Blue Media. Coming in to the office today, I sat…

Lets Network!

During the Summer, I interned with Avis Budget Group (ABG). Avis and Budget are car rental brands. During my internship there I learned a lot about networking. So many people have told me about the importance of networking. I’ve also…

Final Goodbyes

Today is my last day at Harmelin Media.  It has been a great run, and I’ve sure learned a lot.  To be able to watch an organization from the inside out was a great experience, one that will definitely benefit…

Most Exciting

Most of my time spent at Harmelin Media has been assisting Media Buyers/Planners with their assignments, however, today was my day to shine.  I was finally given a project to work on myself; it was my responsibility to create the TV schedule…

It Can Apply To Me Too! :)

For this third blog, I want to talk about how my Marketing internship experience with JahRock’n Productions has personally affected me as I pursue my own music career alongside of my Advertising/Marketing career. As I stated in a previous post,…

There’s just something about it…

I’ve been interning at Lunchbox Communications in Manayunk over summer and I must say, there is something about interning for a small agency that is in a way, otherworldly. Being that I’ve had the chance to intern at both a…

What I’ve learned for the future

I think one of the obvious main purposes of an internship is to get an understanding about what the hell it is you want to do with your life.  I think that it is the first real place that you…

Word of Advice: Stay organized

The single most important things that I’ve learned from my internship and Lunchbox is that organizations is key. It is absolutely essential that you keep track of everything. This includes, but is not limited to, note on meetings, notes from…

Katz Marketing Solutions

As my internship at Katz has come to an end, I look back and reflect on my experience. Katz has opened my eyes to a seemingly dying media: radio. Radio is extremely underestimated by the advertising community as many people…

Radio: More Than What Meets the Ear

  Radio, in general, was nothing foreign to me.  I mean who doesn’t know what the radio is, right? Wrong.  My internship at Radio One has introduced me to a completely different world of radio.  At our initial internship meeting…

Philly mag in the Phall

As school is fast approaching, I am lucky enough to continue my internship through the fall at Philadelphia magazine. The project that I have been working on, since the beginning of May, is soon launching on the Design Home website…

But You Gotta Have Friends

Through the few months I have been interning at Radio One, on top of learning a lot about radio I have also built great relationships. Who would have known networking could be so fun!  When working long events, especially late…

Time Flies…

I Wanna Work for Radio One

When I first applied for an internship with WPHI 100.3 The Beat, I had no idea what to expect, I honestly thought it was going to be trips for coffee and runs to the copy machine and printer.  I was…

Speaking up

  It is known that surveying and focus groups can give you valuable insight into consumer brand perceptions. They can also be used to test potential ad campaigns and positioning before they are fully developed to make sure they are…

When you assume…

Before I even my internship at D4 Creative Group I had preconceived notions about what my tasks would entail. Coming from another internship at Red Tettemer + Partners I assumed that every agency runs under the same set of blue…

Wouldn’t it be nice?

The next “Big thing”

Working at Ogilvy and Mather has opened my eyes to major trends emerging in the industry. I believe the next “Big Thing” in advertising is complicated given the array of pieces that are needed to create any great cohesive campaign…

Wrapping up my Internship

Interning at a television station has taught me a  lot this summer. Long drives into New Jersey, hours of co-editing, close captioning, that is, repeating everything being said on screen into a microphone, and blogging has added up to an exhausting, but…

Long interesting meeting.
