Anthropologie doesnt have any advertising outside the store other than emails and catalogs. Anthro relies primarily on their beauitful handmade designs and creativity to “advertise” to the customer. I think that what they are doing is genius since people keep…

It can be terrifying and stressful to talk to someone at a networking event. You know nothing about them, and unlike other social settings, everyone already knows why you’re there. So, how do you start the conversation? You use F.O.R.M. F.O.R.M. is an acronym for family, organization, recreation and motivation. People LOVE talking about themselves, and when they get a chance to do so these are the topics they enjoying talking about the most.

As a brief introduction to interning at Anthropologie, I will briefly describe how the store is set up and what the visual arts department is responsible for.  When I first came to Anthropologie, the store was split up into 5…

There are certain necessities in life that most of us take for granted. For example: toilet paper. I intended to rattle off multiple examples, but I think the TP reference qualifies as “nuff said.” We grow accustomed to certain everyday…

Throughout the past few years, there has been lots of talk about newspapers as a dying media. We hear it in our classes, in media articles, and even in newspapers!  But although there has been lots of talk about print…

At this week’s meeting we did something a little bit different. It was movie night at TAC! For those who came out we got a chance to watch Art & Copy, a film about the advertising industry. It covered everything…

Know everything. If you don’t know it, go learn it. I feel like it is a common misconception that once you leave university, you don’t need to learn enough. People think they are prepared for the workforce and jump into…

Because social media is becoming such a widespread medium for advertising, I have been doing quite the bit of research on how to reach clients and consumers via social networking. The main client I have been doing this for is…
