The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
The most valuable skill I’ve learned so far at my internship is how to keep the trash can empty and the coffee flowing. Basically with what I do, my entire job is to make sure that there are no problems…
Everyday when I walk into my internship at Siquis in Baltimore, as a junior account executive I don’t just try to do great work, but I try to make an impression on people. I make a point to say good…
Who would have thought starting an internship would shape my future and the things I want compared to the things I thought I wanted. Joining the Independence Blue Cross team was intimidating. Going into the big city everyday to go to…
As an Account Management intern at LevLane Advertising, I thought my summer would be spent crunching numbers at a tiny desk tucked away from the “real” employees. One hour into my first day on the job, I quickly discovered that…
You know how often as an intern you are trusted to handle work that is important to the team and not just actual grunt work? Not very often that’s what! So when you are actually tasked with some thing…
What a Rush For the past two months I’ve been interning at a full service ad agency called Siquis as a junior account executive. It is located in Baltimore and it relatively small with about 30 people employed there. I…
From as long as I can remember I have not been the small talker. I’d run out of something to say in about two seconds flat and then just stand there awkwardly. This hindered me from even trying to talk…
Being an intern at R.B. Packaging Innovations has been a once in a lifetime chance for me to work alongside my brother in revolutionizing the prescription pill bottle. We have a unique design that not only saves cost in packaging and…
Today we met with one of the largest plastic manufacturing companies in the world to discuss our revolutionary prescription pill bottle. It was the second time meeting with this company and it went very well. We have, and presented, molded…
My Internship is almost over. Now what? I worked at Red Tettemer because I knew it would be a well-established agency that would be able to teach me a lot. I really liked the range of clients they worked with…
The line between “well informed, eager young professional” and “blabbermouth” is a fine one. When I first expressed interest in entering the Advertising game to the folks back home, I was hit with a few, “That’s a good idea, you…
Summer always goes so fast, doesn’t it? It’s little things that start approaching in late July that grab our attention and remind us of the fact that it unfortunately doesn’t last forever. The “Back to School” commercials, fall clothes…
I have never seen Mad Men. In high school, my freshman journalism teacher was so gung ho about the program that I decided to avoid it at all costs, just to stick it to the man. To this day, I…
When you start your first internship, you are most likely going to be so nervous that you only worry about all the things you’ll mess up on. Take some chill pills – you’re fine. I felt the same way. But…
I cheated at interning. LevLane Advertising|PR|Digital let me inside their walls as a copywriting intern, treated me with nothing but kindness, told me anything they thought might possibly help push my abilities as a writer, and I had the gaul to…
I was hired as an Account Management Intern at Levlane for the summer. This being my first internship, I figured that I would basically be following an Account Manager all summer and simply learning about the job. Little did I…
If you thought group projects were tiresome while you’re in the same class room, imagine having 3 group members in Chicago, 2 group members in New York (different locations), and 2 in Philadelphia, all working together on a four week…
My name is Rachel Gomberg and I am an upcoming Senior in the Advertising program with a focus in Art Direction. This Summer I’ve had the pleasure of interning with Art Sphere Inc., a non-profit organization located in Philly which…
Dozens of highly motivated and generous people who put in countless hours of work to make their dream come true – their own small business. I have been able to get to know several entrepreneurs of the Incubator Program in the Small…
Hello everyone! I’ve been meaning to post for so long now. My laptop has been damaged for weeks and I’m breaking in my new one with a blog post 🙂 Currently I’m interning at NEST, which is more or…
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…
Hello, all. My name is Rebecca Solomon. This Summer I am working as a marketing intern at Push10 Design Studios, located in Old City, Philadelphia. Push10 is a digital marketing agency that specializes in web design and branding. One of…
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…
