The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
My internship is with CoinOutlet, Inc a manufacturer and operator of bitcoin smart kiosks. I had the opportunity this week to help create flyers and become a part of the company sponsored Lancaster Bitcoin Meetup Group. The company pays for…
As my internship debrief meeting with my internship faculty advisor, Stacey Harspter, was coming to an end, I was posed with one final question: what do you think you learned or gained most from your internship this semester? Most people…
This semester I had a great opportunity to intern with one of the most respected/well-known media companies in the United States. I am grateful for being hired as a Radio Sales Intern at KYW1060 One of the most important traits…
The KYW1060 Intern Report What does a sales intern do at a major TV/Radio station in Philadelphia? A sales intern has the opportunity to be around the best salespeople who know how to sell, take on new and exciting projects, listen…
This semester I spent my time interning for a nonprofit organization completely dedicated to finding a cure for Type II Diabetes, a disease that plagues millions and millions of Americans. Each year more and more people are being diagnosed for…
Today marks my last day interning at Evoke Health. I can’t believe an entire semester has come and gone. It is crazy to think that just four short months ago, I had absolutely no idea as to what pharmaceutical advertising…
Well, it’s been a great experience working at Marshall Dennehey this past semester. I’ve gotten to be involved with many projects that had visible effects on how the business runs, which is always gratifying. I even got to use some…
LevLane is no “boutique” ad agency. However, it is also by no means huge. With about 60 employees, they fall squarely in the middle. At a larger agency, it’s easy to be concerned that you’ll be lost in the shuffle,…
I was very fortunate to land an internship at the law firm Marshall, Dennehey, Warner, Coleman, & Goggin (Marshall Dennehey for short). However, I was a little uneasy about being an advertising major working for attorneys, as I’m sure we all…
I hope you all got that Spongebob reference, except I actually learned a lot working at the Independence Seaport Museum as a Marketing and PR intern. The experience gave me a chance to learn how to do tasks that I…
Finally, it is coming down to an end. Not only is my time at Harmelin Media winding down, but my time as an undergrad at Temple as well. I feel very confident that Harmelin and Temple have put me in…
Being my first internship in the advertising world, there were some basic things that I had figured I would learn at LevLane. I knew going into this internship that I would probably see a whole new side of advertising that…
I came into college with the belief that I was absolutely certain advertising was the career I wanted to pursue. As my college career continued, I found myself enjoying my advertising classes and being even more certain that I had found…
When I tell people I am a strategy intern I get a lot of confused responses. “Strategy” is a buzzword in the communications industry that can mean many different things. Not many people understand how vital good strategic planning is…
I’ve spent much of my free time at college agonizing over The Big Decision—or more specifically, what I want to do for the rest of my life. They tell you time and time again that that’s what college is all…
In the beginning of January I had the opportunity to start an advertising/social media internship with a small jewelry company named Wild Lilies Jewelry (WLJ). This was not an agency nor a large company for that matter, but the learning…
Working in an agency environment provides a lot of perks. There are social outings, wellness seminars, and social interactions with different agencies and professionals. All of these events provide great networking and learning opportunities you normally don’t get in the…
Where has the time gone this semester?! I swear yesterday was the first day of my internship and now it is coming to an end. I learned a great deal this semester interning for the marketing department at GEICO. My…
I currently work at Temple Small Business Development Center as a Creative Consultant, which means I create business cards, brochures, etc. for clients. The client I am currently working has really changed my perspective on some of my work. Upon…
I am a copywriter at Temple, but I am not sure where that is going to take me. Don’t get me wrong I love advertising, I really do, but I don’t really see myself at an agency, although I would…
Working at Inspire as a creative design intern has been quite an interesting time. It gets even more interesting when the company you work for is very small, having only a dozen or so coworkers. At first, it felt as…
Most fellow students I have come across took an internship in a traditional ad agency, or marketing company that would naturally progress into either a job, or teaching the tools in order to land one. I, however, decided to intern…
As my time at Visit Philly comes to an end, the one word I would like to use to describe my experience is detail-oriented. The moment that I step into Visit Philly’s office I know what to expect. Every employee…
I’m serving as an intern at Temple University’s Office of Facilities Management (OFM) at the Health and Sciences Campus. I have been at OFM for two semesters. During my time at OFM, there has been a change in leadership. Frank was…
I am currently finishing up an internship at Temple University’s Office of Facilities Management (OFM) at the Health and Sciences Campus. While the internship is not directly related to advertising, I have found that many aspects of the job will be…
While working with a company, no matter the size, it’s always important to remember to mind your p’s and q’s, especially when you work in an environment with familiar faces. Even more important is operating ethically while on the job. More…
Most people would assume that Facebook is the king of the social media kingdom, especially since most brands and companies rush for it. It seems unbelievable that a company would not even have one. However, the company where I serve…
It is not uncommon for companies to plan activities or outings for their staff. These company outings can serve as team building, and morale boosting events for all of the employees at a given company. Crossmedia is no different. Every…
Since February, I have been an intern at Crossmedia in Philadelphia. As a Temple Advertising student, I am in the copy track, but I also have an interest in media planning. So, when this opportunity presented itself, I was excited…
When I first started working at Temple Small Business Development Center as a Creative Consultant, I had just transferred from a major in Graphic Design into Advertising and I wasn’t sure if this switch was going to work in my…
A few months ago I had the opportunity to join an agency called Super Friendly as a design apprentice. As an advertising major at Temple, I focused mostly into the account management track, which gave me very little practice on art…
The day had finally come. I was asked to do some writing for Brian Communications. Needless to say, I was beyond excited and now had an opportunity to show them my skills. Or so I thought… I was given the assignment…
Through my internship at Geico, the insurance company, I learned a lot about the business model. Geico was established in 1936 by Leo and Lillian Goodwin. Geico was built on humility and honest work. With beginnings in the Great Depression, Geico…
At JDMK Consulting we have a ton of fun at the office! My boss John definitely knows how to create a fun atmosphere at work. He knows how to create a fun work environment that rewards employees and keeps it…
I joke, because often times people would get the name of the company mixed up when looking us up. Trust me, it’s an easy mistype. But I digress. This semester, I began the second round of my internship at Brian…
In my personal experiences, college students do not like doing group work. I personally do not mind it, but it seems like college students are so busy these days. The fact of the matter is getting experience working as a team…
Visit Philadelphia is not an agency. They are the client-side of the advertising world and, because of that, most of their creative is outsourced to Red Tettemer. That means that while I have so far gotten a great deal of…
Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of social media. Where cats memes are as common as the cold, and copy must be condensed into 140 characters or less. Yes, the socialsphere is vast and confusing. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,…
Whether you are happy about it or not, technology is becoming more and more common in our everyday lives. It’s no surprise that the communications industries have attempted to lead the way in this transition. At Allied Integrated Marketing, where…
I was on my way home from NYC when I received an out of the blue email and then, a phone call offering me a chance to interview with Visit Philadelphia for a spring internship. I reached out to Visit Philly…
