Internships

Hello everyone! On behalf of TAC, we hope that everyone had a pleasant  break. It is good to be back though! TAC has a lot to look forward to this semester. First of all, our general board meetings will be…

Traditional media is having difficulty adjusting to the digital media environment. In this post I will discuss what adaptations I believe need to be for traditional media companies to continue to compete. My opinions are based on my experience interning…

Offering consumers value for their time is an essential aspect of good advertising. One thing I learned while interning at City Paper is that products with high demand receive the best response from advertising. If you are selling something people…

My time here at LevLane has been quite the experience. I’ve learned so much from so many different industries: Banking, Recycling, Law, Senior Living Communities, etc. I’ve done comparative analyses, I’ve attended status meetings for different clients, I’ve even got…

Today was the last day of my internship at cities2night. Nothing out of the ordinary happened, it was just an average day in the office. Today was actually supposed to be the day where I present my final project to my…

Both my advertising classes and internship have taught me a lot about the business.  But the truth is, you have to do more than just the basics.  As many people in college soon come to realize for a fact, it’s…

What can I say – school is over. Other than that there isn’t much else. It was a fun ride but all good things come to an end. Now i’m ready to start something great. My time at LevLane has…

I did not run across many problems throughout the course of my internship.  Yes, there were some minor set backs, but not anything that I would really consider a negative experience.  However, there is one exception.  In once case I…

Real Estate advertising can almost be an entity all to itself.  It seems that once a realtor finds a system that works for them, there is not much change.  Yes, as new mediums become prevalent, such as online vs. print,…

I could have ended up in an entry-level job that I absolutely despised! While I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent interning at ReminderMedia this Fall, and gained a lot of valueable skills and experience, I must say that the number one thing I…

The fall semester is coming to a close. My student career at Temple is nearing its end. But it looks like my time at MOD has only just begun.  By the grace of the employment gods I have been offered…

As my internship is coming to an end with about 6 days left I have begun to assess some of the major things I have learned, skills I have refined and what I have truly got out of interning with…

Interning at philly2night this semester has been such a great experience. Before completing my semester  in the office I was asked to fill an internship evaluation. Here was what I had to say: My favorite aspect of interning was having…

Do some research about the company you’re interning with and then do some more. When I started applying for internships I was just sending out my resume like crazy. I would go to the company’s website and poke around for…

PHL17 has been a very fun and rewarding experience. After only a week of interning, I found my own artwork on the side of a Septa bus! A few weeks later, I worked a meet and greet with Charlie Manuel…

When students hear the word internship, they assume that it will involve a lot of doing the work that no one else wants to be any part of. Running errands, getting coffee and drinks and being the one to run…

Here’s a question that was thrown around at Maiden Media (originating from their PR guy): Is social networking taking away from the value of traditional, face-to-face networking. Or, to present the question in a different manner, is internet networking making…

While interning at W Magazine I have strengthened pre-existing workplace skills, developed a thorough understanding of the editorial process and learned about the overall functioning of a magazine. I have also learned that while the magazine industry is a profitable…

I’ve learned a lot during my internship with the English Department. The biggest learning experience was discovering everything that goes into producing a complete project. Not only does the project need to be completed it still has to be produced…

This week will mark my final week at my internship as an account manager for Maiden Media. This was my first internship experience and I can say that it will be one I will value for a long time and…

I have been diagnosed with procrastination, and it is not a case of the mild variety. I’ve been procrastinating since the third grade. It has only gotten worse over time with longer deadlines for assignments in college. I knew it…

Layouts. Design. Layouts. Design. Layouts. Print. TV. Layouts. Design. These were the only things I knew I loved about advertising. However, other than a few layouts, I didn’t do much of any of that in my internship. I got to…

I have imagined my future agency working self, as I would imagine most advertising students have, and to be quite honest, I’ve always imagined myself at an agency on the larger side. This might be because I prefer to dream…

This a post about where I (as an intern) fit in at Skai Blue Media, a fairly small PR agency. There aren’t separate departments there; when there is a new client the owner assigns an account manager. However, she believes…

My intern work at a small public relations agency is not at all like doing work in an academic environment. In a way, it actually reminds me of working for myself. The main difference is that instead of my clients…

Interning at a television station sure has its perks! I was asked by the Production/Promotion Manager if I was willing to be on TV because they needed someone to demo a product for the Better Philly segment. So I figured…

Ever since high school, I have been a huge fan of the way Anthropologie markets and deisgns their products. When I found out I was chosen to be one of the visual design interns at Anthropologie in Center City, I…

My name is Liz Ziegler and I’m currently interning with LevLane Advertising in center city.  I’m working in the traffic/production department. Everyone is so welcoming and helpful here and it’s a great experience.  I recommend to anyone who is looking…

Give the suit-side a fighting chance- try to learn about the client’s perspective before selling them things.

I started my internship at Harmelin Media on September 8, 2010. It has been nothing but a positive environment from the moment that I walked in the door. Everyone here is so friendly and willing to help that I have…

In my last post I talked about March of Dimes’ Prematurity Awareness Month and how we wanted to get buildings lit up in purple to spread awareness about the problems of premature birth.  The summer intern started the process and…

Holiday prep is one of the most anticipated jobs in the visual arts department at any retail store.  The preparation for the design concepts at Anthropologie began at the end of October.  The work we had to do can only…
