The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
Actor David Keochner (Anchorman, Waiting) is having a free-form interview with Sarah Silverman. It’s hilarious, awkward, but most importantly it’s taking place in a Denny’s booth over breakfast. The series is called Always Open (watch here) and it’s the newest…
The above ambient campaign was created by the Quebec agency LG2.
I recently found this fresh idea utilizing web type. Manufactura Independente did a nice little write up which you can find in the links I posted. Anyways, web type has always sucked, true type that is (not images). They (Manufactura) managed to…
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…
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).…
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…
Each month, 20nine, offers up a cartoon or photo and asks for people to finish the story Winners chosen monthly! WHAT’S YOUR 01LINER? Current contest:
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?
As indirect communication steadily becomes the standard form of communication these days, it is imperative that businesses and advertisers adapt to remain relevant in the consumer’s mind. A surefire way to lose a customer, in this new era of digital communication, is to overlook…
New York City’s Museum of Moving Image offers users a chance to create their own political TV ad online. You can upload your own media and experiment with different effects and transitions. It may seem like fun and games but if you do a really…
A simple use of geographic coordinates and wikipedia articles provides us with this simple animation. Displaying what looks like exploding random dots, is actually the location of large amounts of human progression. “Many Wikipedia articles are tagged with geographic coordinates.…
I should clarify that the full title is: “POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold.” Delightfully meta, right? Master of documentaries Morgan Spurlock is back and this time he’s taking aim at the marketing / advertising industries at…
This project is the idea of Candy Chang: “Many cities are full of vacant storefronts and people who need things. My New Orleans neighborhood is still without a full service grocery store. So I made these fill-in-the-blank stickers to provide…
The new world of mobile computing has definitely changed with the introduction of tablet PCs. In most cases these new devices bring a lot of the functionally of its more stationary counterparts to the palm of your hands. Two of…
This guy Alec Brownstein is a creative genius. Check out his website HERE for some of his work. I suggest checking out the hilariously twisted spot he made for Ovaltine. It’s ingenuity like this that’ll really put you ahead…
Whoa. What a great way to demonstrate your company’s objective!
Well this completely relates to the project that most Art Direction two students just finished, and what some graphic design majors are still working on. 1Billion Hungry is a campaign that is a little more edgy than anything City Harvest…
Stated to not be available until June, the $99 tablet for taking “digi-notes” won’t necessarily compete with the iPad, and that’s not the point. At least I don’t think so. The idea is something that has been exaggerated about for…
(In high-resolution, too!) The Art Project by Google offers you the opportunity to explore art museums from NYC to London to Prague using “Street View” technology. You can zoom in to artworks of interest and expand the information panel to…
With winter in full swing, many individuals–including this author–are seeking the solace of comfort foods. It only make sense for advertisers to try to appeal to this hankering–or in my case, weakness–of cold weather commuters to try a warm bowl…
Yesterday, we had the pleasure of getting some insights about interactive media and how we could make the most of our tracks. Our Creative Thinking professor, Kimberly Cassady, invited another guest speaker. Last time we had Mr. Ken Cills of…
Today is one the busiest travel days there is. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and tomorrow night is Black Friday. I can appreciate a good deal as much as the next person, but I don’t care for Black Friday. I don’t like…
I think one of the most important things to do as an intern is keep up with the new clients that your company is signing on and with the rewards they are receiving. LevLane has three new client relationships; Philadelphia…
Hi, my name is Deione Sydnor-Robinson, Senior Advertising major at Temple University, currently interning at City Year Greater Philadelphia. The United States is currently facing an Educational Drop-out Crisis, every 26 seconds a students gives up on their education, which…
On this past Wednesday, October the 20th, Philadelphia Technology Park opened. This was all thanks to fellow employee at LevLane, Holly Mantle. Holly has been working on this project for a very long time now and finally her hard work…
Being an intern I get to see all the cool promotions/creative ideas going through the agency. Francesca Gunning, Account Manager, has been working on a project for over 7-8 months involving Hunting Park. The story was aired October 14th on…
This week’s general body meeting featured a visitor from Reminder Media, Andrea “Andy” Hartfield. Reminder Media is a small business specializing in Sales and Communications in Real Estate. They mainly work with real estate companies, mortgage brokers, and financial advisors.…
I am Gabrielle. I am a sophomore now and I’ve been interning at LevLane Advertising in the interactive department since April of my freshman year. I am an Advertising major. I love it!!!!!!!!! I love my job–what I do and…
Currently I am interning at a company called ReminderMedia. ReminderMedia is the company that publishes American Lifestyle magazine. It is a sales internship and much of the time I spend here is spent on the phone, making sales calls. There…
Still no real luck with selling ads for the Sporting Club at the Bellevue. I am targeting local businesses in center city and I have the feeling merchants are weary about putting ad money up for a new magazine they…
I have worked at LevLane Advertising/PR/Interactive for 3 weeks as of Monday Oct 11, 2010. Thus far this experience has taught me that when people say the advertising industry is such a fast paced environment it really is. As an…
Yesterday, TAC members got to enjoy a Q&A panel about internships from its very own members. The panel was very informative and diverse. From internships in Philly, to Chicago, and even Australia, the insights were invaluable. A few tips I…
One of the best parts about interning at MOD Worldwide is its location and the many local clients they have. Being able to walk down the block to take pictures of a new property for a realty company’s website, or…
A new trend is rising, but is it really new? Remember as a kid when you read your favorite kiddie magazine or comic in 3D, well we’re all grown now and so have our magazine preferences (hopefully). However that doesn’t…
It’s been about a month since I started interning for Harmelin Media. At first I was not so excited about my internship. I wasn’t excited to be working outside the city, in Bala Cywnd, and I wasn’t so excited for…
I am doing my internship at the Sporting Club at the Bellevue. I am primarily doing the ad sales for their new magazine. I never realized how hard it could be to sell an ad! Finally, late last week I…
