This is MOD Worldwide, a small design agency in Center City Philadelphia. But don’t let its size fool you! Within this office are some impressively learned minds in the field of advertising and design. Though there are only a dozen or so full-time employees and a few interns at the moment, the high concentration of talent in one room never ceases to impress. Thus far, I have had the pleasure of sitting in on morning staff meetings, contributing to social media and advertisement executions, and running errands to various offices around the city. It is safe to say that I…

I am currently in the middle of my second semester interning with the Philadelphia Flyers. However this semester has been drastically different than the last because of the end to the NHL lockout. My official internship is with Game Day Presentations. We are in charge of executing all the promotions during the game.

This semester one of the projects we’re working on is the marketing and PR plan for the Rugby Seven Collegiate Championships in June. We began working on the PR and advertising plans…

I called my supervisor, Bob, with whom I had previously communicated with,…

I’ve become disillusioned with the traditional advertising agency route over the past year at Temple. Consequently, I wasn’t looking forward to finding an internship because I felt guilty when I thought about the possibility of taking away an experience from somebody who would appreciate it more than me. I was discussing this with a higher-up of 12+, which I was volunteering for at the time, and he told me that they were always looking for help around the office! I’ve been working at 12+ for a few months now and I think it’s absolutely wonderful. Our office is located inside The…

Hi, my name is Bree Wood and I am an adv art track student. I did my internship with Jump Magazine. It is a small magazine that has been around for about two years now and is ran by George Miller. He is a journalsim Prof at Temple, but the magazine is not part of Temple. This experience has really focused me. I have interned with Jump for a year now. When I started I really thought I would be into writing, I like it, if I have the choice for a final and it is between a test and paper, I…
