I have been interning in the account management department at the Brownstein Group since January. Up until early June, my desk was located in the PR department. In June, Brownstein decided to get new furniture in various departments and trade their cubicles for smaller desks. For one, it made sense to get the new furniture, because it came from one of their clients, IKEA.

Working with real clients with people who are passionate about what they do has assured me I made the right decision in choosing advertising as a major. The one most important things I have learned at Brownstein is how essential…

And I mean that in a good way. I started an account management internship at the Brownstein Group in January. The Brownstein Group is a full service advertising agency in Center City.
