The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
I have been determined to have a career in advertising ever since my junior year of high school. I came into college with my declared major in Advertising Account Management, and then later decided to get a Business Studies minor in…
I honestly probably haven’t thought of the question; “what do you want to be when you grow up” since I was about 12, but recently during my internship program I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about my future. (Which I’m…

I am doing an internship with the Office of Strategic Marketing and Communications at Temple University. On Tuesday I attended the Creative Brief Meeting for the upcoming 15th Street Station Domination which will coincide with when the Pope is here in…
As my internship at Push10 comes to a close, I wanted to reflect on a key learning from my time there. While all agencies work their fingers to the bone to produce material for clients, there might be some things that fall…
Hi, my name is Oyinda Medugbon and I am currently working at an internship at Time Warner Cable’s Marketing department in New York. My track is copy and I always thought I’d work on the agency side, creating and writing copy…
This summer, I am doing an internship in the Office of Strategic Marketing and Communications (SM+C) at Temple University. Up until now, I have mainly been doing finance tasks which includes submitting invoices and updating spreadsheets. On Tuesday, I was invited to attend…
Is anyone else in awe of how many notes they take? I mean seriously, I’ve been interning as an Associate Producer at Digitas Health in Philadelphia for a little more than three weeks, and already have basically filled an entire…
Did you know Temple has a Small Business Development Center? Because I didn’t. But now I do, and I am a part of the process for small businesses to hit the ground running. As a Marketing and Consulting intern, I have…
Hi, guys! It’s Nicole. On my pervious post, I talked about AG’s business and my first day experience with AG. On this post, I would like to talk about my thoughts on AG’s Social Media Strategy Plan. Although I was…
Nothing is better than to be an intern in a company, which involves with the word, FOOD!! Agree or Disagree? This summer, I am working as an Art Direction intern in AG catering, located in Fishtown. AG catering is a…
What I am learning and experiencing at my internship with Harmelin Media is reinforcing my desire to work in the advertising industry (as a media planner specifically). The projects they give me prove they invest in their interns and want…
The past three years, I have lived in the city while attending Temple University. I have gone into center city so many times to shop, go to concerts, go out to eat, etc; however, it wasn’t until my internship at…
One of the biggest things I learned in my role as a Social Media Intern at Propulsion Media Labs is the importance of working as a team. While we all want to succeed and be the best at our job,…
In my role as an intern at Jako Enterprises I assist with multiple events. Our latest event was UBIQ’s Converse X Made By You Event that we hosted at the store on May 8th and May 22nd. First of all,…
While serving as a writing intern at OogeeWoogee.com, I’ve had the chance to cover several compelling events. Most recently, Thursday, June 4th, 2015 the City of Philadelphia raised the Transgender flag in honor of London Chanel and the many other Transgender people…
Walking in on my first day as Traffic Intern at LevLane, I had very little clue of what I was going to be doing. Compared to other advertising agency departments, I had little knowledge about the traffic department. I was curious and…
I have worked for a big company for the past four years now (over 2,000 employees) and at first, it was intimidating. There are so many people all around and it seems as if no one is paying you any…
This summer I have been serving as an intern at Harmelin Media in Bala Cynwyd. Harmelin is a full service media planning and buying company. It is one of the largest independent media agencies in the country! This is my first…
My experience at Harmelin has been extremely valuable to my education. I’ve gained many new skills and have a deeper understanding of the media planning/buying processes. By far the best skill I am learning is the use of Excel (hence the title) through…
What does it mean to be an intern? For some, it’s just a title to throw on their resumes, for others, it’s gaining the knowledge needed to fuel their careers. So far, my internship at Harmelin Media has been the…
When you begin your college journey, you’re a freshman for the second time in your life. When you work as an intern, it’s as though you’re a freshman for the third time in your life, but better. I began my…
Hi my name is Colleen and I’m currently serving as an intern at Tai Y. Wong Law Offices. One of the biggest things I’ve learned during my internship at Tai Y. Wong Law Offices is that building and keeping relationships is…
In my humble understanding, we students are gathered here, attending college so we can earn our degree. A degree in your hand is said to open many doors, and I have no doubt it will. But in my three years at Temple…
Social networking hit its stride in 2002 with the introduction of Friendster. This Internet platform revolutionized the way people communicate, and 13 years later, we’re starting to learn how valuable social media is as a marketing tool. Since smartphones allow…
This particular post may sound like one giant cliché, but you gotta hear me out. For the longest time, I have felt a yearning and strong desire to make a difference in someone’s life. My dreams used to revolve around…
I stumbled upon Propulsion Media Labs at Temple University’s career fair. When I was offered an internship for the summer, I was more than ecstatic to accept. Since starting my internship at the small post-production company, I have done “typical”…
I live and breathe Philadelphia sports, so landing an internship at SportsRadio 94WIP is a dream come true. Having just finished my third week working with Michael Barkann and Ike Reese on their show “Mike & Ike,” I’ve already learned…
I’m Kala and I decided that I would go back to my hometown and intern at the Sapphire Salon and Spa. At first, all I thought I would be doing is sitting behind a computer designing ads while also learning…
One of the most important things that my internship at Sapphire Salon has taught me is teamwork. Without team work there isn’t any good work being produced. In school you’re forced to work in groups with your fellow classmates and obviously you’re…
So far, my experience at ChatterBlast Media has taught me a lot. I learned more about the media industry and more about myself as well. The first thing I’ve learned is that constructive criticism is not meant to break you…
As you sit through advertising classes as an aspiring creative, you are taught and told that working in groups is something that you will need to become comfortable with as you advance in your studies and eventually post graduation. This…
Now, the title of this blog post may seem to have a negative connotation but that’s just one of the biggest problems with social isn’t it? This blog post is the product of a long, extensive, and exhausting creative internship…
I’m Colleen and I’m currently serving as an intern at Tai Y. Wong Law Offices in Center City. While here I’m going to be their advertising representative. When I was first offered this internship I was a little hesitant about an…
A fear that I’ve always had as a student in the School of Media and Communication was would I be able to find a job that I love and make enough money to eat and sustain myself. Unlike many majors,…
Life is full of false barriers built almost entirely by ourselves. Lack of confidence, fear of the unknown, and skipping your morning bowl of Wheaties (seriously, comparing yourself to the cereal box cut out of an Olympic Gold Medalist charged multiple times…
I tend to think about my future career as a name tag. A pre-written sticker that demands you write in one word to define your entire career. Engineer. Doctor. Journalist. Yep, all those fit just fine. Writer with lofty dreams to explore,…
Nervous, scared, anxious. Three words that describe how I usually feel right before I start a job. However, going into my first day as the social media intern for ChatterBlast Media, I wasn’t scared, instead I was really excited. I…
As advertising majors we always hear about the importance of branding ourselves. But what does that really mean? Why do we have to brand ourselves? Isn’t just having a portfolio, resume, and Linkedin account enough? If you’re still thinking…
I just had the chance to go with the company to an InsideBitcoin’s conference in NYC. @p2pCryptoGirl is my handle for networking and communicating with others in the field. There, I had the chance to meet a part time team…
