Show Them What You Can Do

This Fall I have learned so much and gained so much experience from interning at the Chestnut Hill Business Association. Interning at CHBA was not a typical advertising internship, but I learned more about marketing an entire town of businesses…

Not an Advertising Internship at Famehouse

The end of summer was a struggle before the beginning of my final fall semester at Temple University. I began applying for internships a little late in the game and felt pressure from all angles to make a decision on…

The Other Side of Advertising: The Brand

Way back in 2010 when I first started abandoning hopes of becoming an astronaut and started looking for a more tangible career I stumbled upon a documentary called Art&Copy. The film is a must-see (and probably part of the curriculum)…

Annabelle, Kill the Messenger, and Events, Oh my!

So, this semester I am a publicity and promotions intern for Allied Integrated Marketing. They have over 20 offices in the US and Canada. They primarily work in the entertainment industry, specifically for film studios. Before I started there, the intern…

Shy Won’t Fly at Skai Blue Media

I’ve been shy my entire life. I tend to avoid situations where I have to talk to people I don’t know. Being anything but quiet and reserved is a struggle. This also affected my desire to show things I create…

Intern Learning Lunches at Tag Strategies

Small Fish, Big Pond at LevLane

As an intern at LevLane, one of the coolest and most rewarding experiences I have had thus far is being able to work on a brand new client. Agencies are constantly looking for new business, and we just so happened…

Live and Learn

When first arriving to my media sales internship at Greater Media Philadelphia I was somewhat hesitant on what to expect. I have been there for about two and a half months now and I have already learned a lot about…

What’s Pharma?

So, I hoped to come across an internship opportunity this school year and land one for the Spring semester. Internships are a STRESSFUL thought – getting the right one, finding one you like, one that would really make you stand…

The Total Flop

I recently attended the event that was intended to be my main project for the length of my internship with the event planning shop, Station Avenue Productions.  Many hours went into organizing this women’s wellness retreat held at Borgata’s Water Club…

Owning it at Chatterblast Media

After working on a month-long research project for a new client at Chatterblast Media, I was given the opportunity to present my work to the client. This was a really great professional experience, not only because it was so heavily…
