Throughout the semester, I have had the amazing opportunity of interning with Devine + Partners, a PR agency located in Philadelphia. I was hired as a content creation intern in early January, started in the beginning of February, and am set the complete the program on May 5. My time as an intern has taught me so much about the professional PR world, communication, and time management. This role has come with various types of responsibilities. My two main tasks throughout the program have been media monitoring and writing press releases. I have a weekly task of using Critical Mention…

I’ve always been a bookworm. When I was a girl, books kept me company. I can vividly remember that for my family, Sundays were our day to go to Borders Book Store. We’d spend all day perusing — discovering new stories. When I was looking for internships on Handshake, my heart leapt at the idea of interning with a book publisher, and sure enough, Quarto Publishing Group was looking for a design intern for its New York office. I spent the subsequent day perfecting my cover letter and portfolio, and sent it off. While the interview was a bit intimidating…

Last summer, as I received my summer internship offer letter for Immunocore, I clearly remember feelings of nervousness, excitement, and accomplishment. I was ready to take the next step in my college career, and prepare my resume for the work world. What I ended up getting was far more valuable than an added experience on a resume. Closing my internship at the end of May, I will be just short of a full year with Immunocore. I will forever credit this internship for kickstarting not only my career, but a passion and way of living. Immunocore is a fast growing…

Hi! My name is Elyse and I am a Senior Advertising major studying Brand Strategy and Research. I am currently fortunate enough to be interning at Devine+Partners, which is a PR agency here in Philadelphia. My role at DP has taught me a lot about what it takes to work at an affiliated agency. I have learned about how to communicate with my coworkers and how I can help aid them in any task they need assistance with. DP is a smaller agency, so I have been fortunate enough to work closely with each and every person in the agency. This has  helped me gain…

Hi everyone! My name is Kat and I am a senior at Temple, studying advertising with a concentration in account management. This semester, I have had the opportunity to intern at 42West, a personal relations company located in New York City. This position was remote, however we were given opportunities to experience events in person throughout the semester. I have learned a lot through this position and am excited to share with you. With less than a month of college left and still no idea what I want to do or what my career path will look like, my time…

Over the past couple of months, I’ve had the privilege to work in one of the most prevalent and active record labels in the hip-hop community. Working on Dying Is a Philadelphia based record label who signed some of the most prevalent producers in the recent hip-hop scene, producing songs for artists, such as Drake, Lil Yachty, yeat, Lil Uzi Vert, and more. After being in the industry for a duration of time, I have not only learned but experienced a lot. I have witnessed how the industry works how communication proceeds, and how overall workflow gets done. Being an…

My name is Madeline Ryan and I’m an advertising student at Temple, with a concentration in brand strategy & research. For the past year I have been a marketing intern at a small jewelry and accessories business called Lisi Lerch. My duties are primarily creating the wholesale emails, but I also assist when any other projects come up here and there. I also recently started creating the emails for the brick-and-mortar location in Villanova, in addition to the wholesale emails. When I first started at Lisi Lerch I didn’t have much experience in email marketing, but I have learned so…

During my freshman year at Temple, I faced a lot of stress due to being undeclared and having no clue about what I wanted to pursue after college. To explore my options, I took exploratory classes across Klein and Fox. It wasn’t until I took Introduction to Advertising in Spring 2020 that I discovered my passion for advertising. The creativity and versatility behind it immediately drew me in, and I knew that it was something I wanted to pursue in my future. As a Philadelphia-based agency, Red Tettemer O’Connell + Partners has always been on my radar. I admired their…

In this post, I’ll be sharing a few tricks that helped me make the most of my time here. I hope you enjoy reading! 🙂 ______________________________________________________________________________ At my first internship, I walked away feeling like I could’ve done more. Although I did everything I was told, there was something inside of me that didn’t feel complete. I felt as though I could’ve made a bigger impact. I will cut myself a bit of slack considering it was my first agency experience. However, after…

An advertising major pursing a career in marketing? Understandably you may have some questions. Let me lay it out for you on how I went from a Criminal Justice Major to a Partner Marketing Intern at Pure Storage. Coming into college, I was at a complete loss as for the direction I wanted to go in. The weight of such a drastic choice felt intimidating. I had always teetered on the creative side, but at the time didn’t realistically see my hobby of digital editing expanding into a career. I eventually landed on Criminal Justice as it had been an…
