The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
I have worked at LevLane Advertising/PR/Interactive for 3 weeks as of Monday Oct 11, 2010. Thus far this experience has taught me that when people say the advertising industry is such a fast paced environment it really is. As an…
Yesterday, TAC members got to enjoy a Q&A panel about internships from its very own members. The panel was very informative and diverse. From internships in Philly, to Chicago, and even Australia, the insights were invaluable. A few tips I…
We have to be willing to admit when something isn't working out. If we wait too long to come to terms with a problem, the problem will come to terms with us.
This campaign has been around for a little while, but I didn’t notice it ’til recently. Almost a year ago, I entered a contest where one of the objectives was to create a few Dentyne ads that were both fun…
One of the best parts about interning at MOD Worldwide is its location and the many local clients they have. Being able to walk down the block to take pictures of a new property for a realty company’s website, or…
It’s the moment that many creatives in the Philadelphia area have been waiting for, TED is holding a conference right here in the city of brotherly love. For those who are unfamiliar “TED is a non profit devoted to Ideals…
Hey everyone! My name is Katie Killian and I am the Communications Director of TAC. We have decided to join this blog to see what everyone else has been up to, as well as to inform you guys of some…
September has vanished. A new month is here, and your acclimation process is almost complete. The syllabus, the introductions, gathering of supplies, and lectures have eased you in gradually. The transition from carefree summer days to solitary homework captivity starts now.…
When I was little, and I’m talking Micro-Machines, Thundercats, Roger Rabbit underwear little, my cousin and I used to bicker over sharing toys. David always brought more toys with him to sleepovers at our grandparent’s house. Just to make the…
A new trend is rising, but is it really new? Remember as a kid when you read your favorite kiddie magazine or comic in 3D, well we’re all grown now and so have our magazine preferences (hopefully). However that doesn’t…
Social Media… where to begin? How about today? Yes, let’s begin with today. In fact, let’s begin with this very moment. I am riding shotgun in a Scion, coming back from the Bloomsburg Fair (btw, superb people watching if you…
I’m not sure if this will really catch on especially with the hard sell. The overall campaign can make good conversation for Intro to Advertising.
The focus remains benefit copy. It's not about what Listerine can do for you, but what may happen if you don't use Listerine.
Hello! My name is Alex Brown and I am a Junior Advertising major. I am a new member to the AdLib team and I am pretty excited to be a part of AdLib. Expect weekly posts about TAC news, International…
At some point in your life you’ve been subjected to a pun. Whether or not it hit the mark is subjective. A pun doesn’t extend you too much comically. It’s generally a pretty safe way to go. If you do falter while using…
It’s been about a month since I started interning for Harmelin Media. At first I was not so excited about my internship. I wasn’t excited to be working outside the city, in Bala Cywnd, and I wasn’t so excited for…
I am doing my internship at the Sporting Club at the Bellevue. I am primarily doing the ad sales for their new magazine. I never realized how hard it could be to sell an ad! Finally, late last week I…
I'd say Flugtag (aka "Flying Day") was the biggest frat party I'd ever been to. That was the overall vibe. It definitely wasn't a family friendly event.
These people didn’t seem to be doing anything in particular so I guess their intentions were to show off their shirts. I wasn’t inclined to really ask questions. As far as I know the Sugar House Casino isn’t open yet……
It's homemade so as long as he has his sandwich with Mayo he can be at peace--and be at home anywhere.
It is absolutely acceptable to make commercials about other ethnic groups.
I actually took these photos on that first 100+ degree day we had this summer. I had some business to take care of, but I saw it as a good opportunity to snap some photos of the Pabst covered El…
I think he's suffering the same ailments as the caveman. He's a person by default and for him to stand out he has to be more than what he is.
Each geek would much rather have a woman who understands him rather than just any woman even if she's not real.
Its campaigns aren't really consistent; it has a spokesman and a mascot; and it isn't the best nor the first yet Geico remains the most popular.
Word of mouth can make all the difference if you really trust your opinion leader. Yelp provides an alternative with strength in numbers. "Real people. Real reviews."
Overall, I think it's a truly innovative idea. It encourages spending, socializing, competition, and promotional discounting.
3D Street Art is highly impressive. I stumbled upon these fantastic images of 3D street art the other day: Click through for more 3D epicness: Beautiful pieces of art, they are impressive. 3D Street Art used for Advertisement is…
This one speaks (kicks) for itself. I originally saw the Spanish version. I guess it was placed again for the World Cup (being an older commercial and all).
Is everything for sale? I'm positive that certain other stops have absolutely no redeeming value. I think Broad & Pattison would be the exception and never the rule.
I don’t think it’s any coincidence that this guy looks like J.J. from Good Times. This ad was placed in the very same month that Good Times went off the air (August 1979). Back then ads probably had a longer…
It looks good enough to frame.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if this "campaign" was really launched by someone at Ashley Madison operating under a pseudonym. "Well played." is what I'd say.
The only place I can think of seeing something like this is old vinyl sleeves (records). This sort effect was common back then.
There are often times when one may see a TV spot run back to back and they may wonder why. Usually, one spot is national and one is local-- usually. For magazines, I really couldn't say. So after seeing not three, but four pop up this time I just had to say something.
You’re probably familiar with Maxim magazine already. The articles are thought provoking insights into current events and – who am I kidding. If you read Maxim, you read it for the scantily clad ladies and tips on how to get…
Do I just have the mind of a deviant, or is this advertisement blatantly sexual? Click through for a larger picture of wholesome BBQ fun! Maybe I’m just prejudicial against a cigarette company and automatically equate everything they do with…
Their bikes are better than his and he would rather be riding than babysitting a chain gang.
DiCicco has deleted critical language from existing outdoor advertising zoning codes 14-1604 and 9-602 removing protections that will AFFECT EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD in the city.
