The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
If there is one thing I have gained from this internship it is experience. Before this internship all my knowledge of the advertising and marketing world consisted of theoretical situations and hypothetical in class clients. Finch Brands has really helped…
As I look back on this semester as an intern at the Avenue of the Arts, I feel that it was a great start to my career. I not only gained experience, but I also realized what I didn’t know,…
I have a job. Sheffield Furniture & Interiors has hired me as their official Copywriter. The responsibilities that I have as employee are basically the same responsibilities that I had as an intern, which is doing almost all of the…
We have been told that if we work really hard we will succeed. We won trophies. We learned that everyone is a winner. 75 % of us use social networking sites that have started revolutions… (And stalked our ex’s). We…
Above is a sample of an idea produced by Access Agency for Lego. Although it is just a concept, it is probably one of the better ambient/viral tactics I’ve seen in recent years. One thing I’m not sure about is the…
I just had my last day at Weston Fitness, it was a weird change to end, but it is nice to not have to go Center City every other day. As I mentioned in my previous post; overall,…

Have you ever seen a piece of work (art) and had only one single thought on it? A thought like (excuse my French) “what the fuck is happening right now?” This is exactly what I think when I see the…

Marvel Comics took the Volkswagen “The Force” video and made their own dupe on it. While still wondering the legality behind it, I think it was a simple, easy, and effective idea to market their new cinematic release of…
Before starting an internship of any kind, I was under a certain impression about the formula campaign. The client wants more sales…so- you do the research, you make some ads, you follow the results…Kazam. Right? Nope! Interning with the…
The end of the semester is here, which means the ending of my internship at Creative Video. Even though I’ve been here since November, it seems like the days went by rather quickly. I enjoy my days working here. I…
Last week at Finch I got an amazing opportunity. I got to learn all about how to create and manage a Facebook ad from some of the best people in the business. Until now I thought the whole process seemed…
So for the past 2 and-a-half months or so, I’ve been a Copywriting intern at the Philadelphia agency 160over90. Looking back, I’m pretty lucky that the only agency to give me an interview and an offer a week before the…
Sadly, my last day at WOGL is coming up, tomorrow actually! There were many ups and downs at my internship, but overall I believe it to be a successful learning experience. While I did have “intern responsibilities” like file invoices…

Hatch is holding its 4th annual easter egg design contest. Honestly I’ve never even heard of the contest until recently, although I knew about Hatch as a firm. There are some pretty good ones in there, my favorite of course…
Below are images from the new identity design created for The Landing by Jamie Stolarski. The Landing is a jazz club in San Antonio, I can’t think of many well designed jazz club identities, Jamie on the other hand killed…
I’m an intern at Creative Video, a video production company located in New Jersey. I was hired at the end of the winter semester as a graphic design intern. Since there wasn’t much design needed during the winter break, I…
Working as an intern at the Office of Sustainability I have run into many legal issues with design. So far at the office I have to make sure certain brochures and fliers are approved by Temple authorities. One example of…
I stand (sit, type) before you completely flabbergasted. The high level of intense media coverage of this wedding is unbelievable. (Just the fact that I didn’t have to mention WHAT wedding I’m referring to speaks for itself. For those of…
At my current internship at Philly Magazine I’ve gotten the opportunity to meet a lot of great people (see my last blog about networking) and learn a ton of tools that will help me in the future. Because it is…
I started my Spring semester internship with Neiman Group in January and have loved every Monday/Wednesday/Friday since! Neiman Group is located in the 1619 building on Walnut Street, which is the old NBC building. My label at Neiman is New…
Today was a good day. Today, I was inspired. One of our clients is in the workings with Brownstein to execute a TV spot for a new product. This may make me sound like a six year old, but…I can’t…
I’ve always been told that the last semester of senior year is the most difficult. It’s the period in your life when you have the least time to yourself. Yet regardless how many times I have been told this I…
<—See that girl? That’s what I’m going to look like a few weeks from now. Graduation; the day I’ve been dreading for the past four years is less than a month away. To some people, graduation may seem like an…
My internship at Sheffield Furniture and Interiors has progressed over the course of the semester, and I am so pleased with the amount of responsibility and assignments I have been given! I am writing all of the copy for newspaper…
One of my favorite illustrators of all time, Glenn Jones better known as Glennz, has released some fresh work! I’ve been following him for awhile and his illustration wits have always inspired me. He takes stereotypes, personification, and literalism to the right…
Actor David Keochner (Anchorman, Waiting) is having a free-form interview with Sarah Silverman. It’s hilarious, awkward, but most importantly it’s taking place in a Denny’s booth over breakfast. The series is called Always Open (watch here) and it’s the newest…
The above ambient campaign was created by the Quebec agency LG2.
I recently found this fresh idea utilizing web type. Manufactura Independente did a nice little write up which you can find in the links I posted. Anyways, web type has always sucked, true type that is (not images). They (Manufactura) managed to…

My account management internship experience at the Brownstein Group has been very positive. It is interesting to see how everything you talk about in ad courses actually happens in an agency. From account managers constantly meeting with the creative team to discuss…
