The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
I am currently interning at the Local GEICO office in Wynnewood. Being an intern, I am given the opportunity to attend events of all kinds including ones for non-profit organizations, new/small businesses, sports games, and even concerts. I even just…
This Fall I have learned so much and gained so much experience from interning at the Chestnut Hill Business Association. Interning at CHBA was not a typical advertising internship, but I learned more about marketing an entire town of businesses…
The end of summer was a struggle before the beginning of my final fall semester at Temple University. I began applying for internships a little late in the game and felt pressure from all angles to make a decision on…
Way back in 2010 when I first started abandoning hopes of becoming an astronaut and started looking for a more tangible career I stumbled upon a documentary called Art&Copy. The film is a must-see (and probably part of the curriculum)…
So, this semester I am a publicity and promotions intern for Allied Integrated Marketing. They have over 20 offices in the US and Canada. They primarily work in the entertainment industry, specifically for film studios. Before I started there, the intern…
I’ve been shy my entire life. I tend to avoid situations where I have to talk to people I don’t know. Being anything but quiet and reserved is a struggle. This also affected my desire to show things I create…
I think one of my favorite concepts in the world is free food; you have to eat to live, right? Well as an Account Services intern at Tag Strategies this semester, every Wednesday for the past 2-3 weeks I’ve been…
This fall I had the opportunity to have my first internship at LevLane Advertising. Although I am a copywriter, I took an internship in the traffic department. At first, I was skeptical because I did not know much about the…
When I used to picture working at a “real job” I didn’t imagine people would be dressed as casually as in the classroom. But at the two PR/marketing agencies I’ve now interned for, that has mostly been the case. It’s…
As an intern at LevLane, one of the coolest and most rewarding experiences I have had thus far is being able to work on a brand new client. Agencies are constantly looking for new business, and we just so happened…
This semester I achieved one of my goals that I set way back at the beginning of high school, which feels weird to think about! For a while, I knew that I wanted to work at WXPN in some way,…
When first arriving to my media sales internship at Greater Media Philadelphia I was somewhat hesitant on what to expect. I have been there for about two and a half months now and I have already learned a lot about…
So, I hoped to come across an internship opportunity this school year and land one for the Spring semester. Internships are a STRESSFUL thought – getting the right one, finding one you like, one that would really make you stand…
I recently attended the event that was intended to be my main project for the length of my internship with the event planning shop, Station Avenue Productions. Many hours went into organizing this women’s wellness retreat held at Borgata’s Water Club…
After working on a month-long research project for a new client at Chatterblast Media, I was given the opportunity to present my work to the client. This was a really great professional experience, not only because it was so heavily…

This fall, I am fortunate enough to be interning in the public affairs department at CBS3 Philly. At first, I was extremely nervous because I had no idea what to expect, and the idea of working for one of the…
For all underclassmen who still haven’t found an internship, do not fret. It will all fall into place. As a freshman, one of the first things I did was join TAC (Temple Ad Club). It was enlightening, getting to hear…
How does a small business fit into the big city world? This is a question I asked myself for a while. Being from the suburbs, I have always been caught in between the corporate world and the small business world,…
If you’re confused by the title of my post, it took me a couple minutes to figure out the clever phrase behind Philadelphia branding agency, Tag Strategies title as well. Remember the game we all used to play as kids?…
Pictured above is a photo of a play about feminism, slasher films and relationships. As October 8th approaches, so does the Wilma Theater’s first performance of Gina Gionfriddo’s Pulitzer Prize-nominated play, Rapture, Blister, Burn. I only have been at the Wilma…
I have gained so much knowledge about how to go about selling with the Temple News. This experience is everything I thought it be would be, and more. This experience helped me to put my pride to the side, get…
I had the pleasure of coming on to Temple News as an intern. I really enjoy what I do as a part of helping Temple News. My job is to find different clients who will be beneficial for temple students. My first…
Before you get all on edge from the title, the reality of interning at an advertising agency is good – I even came back for a second semester! I am an account management intern at LevLane Advertising, and tend to…
If you read my previous post about interning at Digitas Health I mentioned that I worked on a mock pitch that was presented to senior executives in NYC. During the last month of the internship the Philadelphia and NYC interns…

When I first got my internship with Freedom Credit Union, I had no idea what to expect. I had never worked in an office before at all, and certainly never for a financial institution. So I wasn’t sure what to…
This summer I interned for two Philadelphia radio stations: Wired 96.5 (Philly’s Party Station) and 92.5 XTU (Philly’s Country Station). During my internship I worked in two different departments. On Wednesdays and other various days of the week I was…
Keeping it professional at a beer festival
As the first month of my internship passed, I found myself working in numerous departments. I was often assigned to work in the direct response department. The DR department works with ads that feature a call-to-action. I found it interesting…
I’m a firm believer that attitude and positivity can affect your work and the quality of it. Before interning at BOCO this summer, I was aware of the more relaxed vibe of a creative agency, but I was never really…
I am interning at BOCO Digital Media this summer. BOCO focuses primarily pharmaceuticals, and though I have learned a lot particularly about that field, I also have discovered from interning here exactly what I want to do with my degree…
A lot of summer happened this summer, and I survived, only just barely. My friends went home, I made new friends, they also went home, I moved into a new house, I watched the Lego Movie like five times, I…
This summer, I did an internship with Harmelin media, a buying and planning agency on city line avenue. It was great interning with a large company, where I was given the opportunity to work in multiple departments. When I applied…

There are many perks that come with working at a small agency. Bagel Wednesdays, 5$ Burger Tuesdays and an agency-wide game of music popcorn everyday are just a few. My insatiable appetite for food aside, d4 Creative Group has given…
When it comes to Lego vs. K’nex, I have always been a K’nex kid. I received a huge tub for Christmas one year and loved them. The creative freedom that came with K’nex was so much more extensive than the…
As sad as it sounds, I have truly learned more during this summer internship than I ever have in a classroom setting. My boss at Vintage Tub & Bath, is very good at making time to sit down with me…
What a dream come true it’s been working at Tierney this summer. From the initial first step it was all surreal. Anxiously waiting to hear our client we all couldn’t help but wonder and chat on who it could be,…
