Internships

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…

Throughout this internship I have learned and experienced many things. Just the idea of getting up in a weekday and knowing that you are going somewhere else besides school is a great feeling. Driving into work as if you were…

When my internship with the Philadelphia 76ers comes up in conversation, people tend to think it’s a little cooler than it actually is. People tend to think “basketball” and automatically assume the internship is all fun and games; it’s not.…

When i first got to Philly2Night I was asked to make a list of any goals or outcomes that I expected to receive from my internship. And although I knew what I expected from the internship I had no idea just how…

Recently at my internship at Maiden Media Group,  I had the opportunity to interact with one of their clients on a more personal level.  One of the agency’s newest clients is an elegant local antique store, More Than Old. Part…

Social Media is free and pretty much everyone uses it.  At Weston Fitness, I control all aspects of both our Facebook pages (one is a business to “like” with a more professional feel and the other is a person that…

After working at Weston Fitness doing their PR, Marketing, and Advertising for two months, my boss and I planned a Health Fair in the lobby of 1818 Market (a huge office building on Market Street).  In order to set this…

Starting off at Weston Fitness I was extremely nervous because I knew I wasn’t walking into an Ad agency or anything obviously advertising related, so I was unsure of exactly what they expected of me.  Right off the bat the…

Nope.

Maybe next time.

One of my responsibilities in my internship with the English Department was to organize the alumni newsletter. This is the primary contact between alumni and the Department. It highlights several professors and honors students for academic achievements. My role in…

When one of your clients is about to be featured on Oprah’s “Favorite Things” list, it’s big. This is especially so for a small agency like MOD Worldwide that deals largely with local clients.  One of MOD’s recently acquired clients…

The idea of teamwork at a fashion magazine is learned during the first shoot as an intern that you work on. A fashion editorial feature begins with the inspiration and ideas of the fashion director. Following up with the research…

So since the semester is almost over, my internship director has given  me the opportunity to come up with my own seasonal event for the company. Cities2night provides over ten different events over the year, from a huge New Years…

My favorite project during the entire internship was for a section of the store called ‘Diener’.  This part of the store is where home goods are sold, bath towels, plates, etc.  The concept was a kind of 1950’s diner feel. …

I couldn’t be luckier to be an intern at LevLane. The experience I’ve gained in the past three week overshadows months I may have spent elsewhere. I’ve been fortunate enough to meet and learn from some seasoned veterans in the…

While studying advertising at Temple, have have begun to realize how many directions it could take me in my career. I could become a media analyst, creative graphic designer, an account executive… and the list goes on.In my experience there…

I’m an advertising, art direction student, with an art minor. I like art. I want to create art. I can spend days without blinking working in Illustrator and Photoshop.  All my friends know I’m a wanna-be creative director (let’s not…

Recently at my internship at ReminderMedia, all of the interns were given a set of standards that we are all at this point expected to meet each day while doing any given task. For example, people making sales calls are…
