Know Your Company: LevLane
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 for an internship.
Something I’ve realized while interning here is you should really know the company you’re interning/working for. An art director spoke to me about how a fair amount of employees at Levlane are Temple Alumni, which is a great opportunity for fellow Temple students. Just some advice that I will certainly use for the future is to know your company and who you work with. It’s so important to gain a relationship with the people you work with because the more willing they will be to teach you their expertise and help you in your future endeavors.
Experience is so important. Get yourself out there and just throw yourself in the mix. I’m a shy person at first and it takes me a while to warm up to people but in the advertising business you just have to be outgoing. Being an intern you have to get the most out of your experience and make sure you do all the work to you do to the best of your ability.
LevLane has many clients, one in the mix is Philadelphia Recycling. I wouldn’t be a true intern if I didn’t promote being a fan of ‘Unlitter Us Philly’ on Facebook. So I’ll leave you with that. Get involved!
Hi Liz, I am so happy you had a great experience with LevLane. I’ve heard wonderful things about them and I have been following the ‘Unlitter Us Philly’ campaign since the beginning. I’m glad that you brought up the point that you should know the company you are applying to. Because each agency is unique the atmosphere will be vary. It’s as important that you feel comfortable in the environment your in so you can produce great work. It’s encouraging to hear that their are great ad agencies out there that not only create impressive campaigns, but really care about their employees.
I made a post about “Unlitter Us” way back. I didn’t know Levlane was behind the creative though.

Yes LevLane did all the creative for UnLitter Us and just won another award for it last night! As LevLane say’s “who loves ya” it’s a true fact, they love ya! 🙂
