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…

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,…

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…

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…
