Over the course of 15 weeks during my spring semester, I spent every Wednesday and Friday on the fourth floor studio that many people don’t even know exist. In this 1800’s mansion, winding staircases and large fireplaces help give the space in which clothing and the large scale displays alike, life. Taking the ride up the elevator into the art rooms on the fourth floor started my new journey as an intern at Anthropologie in Rittenhouse Square. Getting up early isn’t something I was used to, so pulling myself out of bed at 6am wasn’t something I had done since…

Hey guys,   So this is the label and logo that I worked on at Crazy Steve’s. I’m very proud of it.  It boosted my confidence a lot.  Only because I wasn’t sure if I was going to be good enough for this industry.  Hope you like it!!! Just click on the link 🙂  

Yesterday was my last day at KHI and it was a sad but exciting day. I was excited it was my last day because it meant the semester was over but at the same time my time at KHI has taught me a lot and I have learned so much from them. The people at KHI from day one were the most welcoming people I have ever interned with. They wanted to help me out in any way possible and help me to absorb as much as I could in my short 16 weeks there. While there I got to…

I’ve been interning at Group Two Advertising since January, and now it’s the end.  It has been a long journey, but it’s been educational, interesting, and helpful.  Educational because of the new things I have learned about social media, interesting because there were many tasks I was asked to do that I was unsure about, and helpful because it taught me about what I want to do in the near future. Recently, the work load has increased because they are receiving more and more clients, and performing more and more tasks for each client.  So instead of just focusing on…

Recently with IG-Creative’s client, Philadelphia Mans Basketball League (PMBLeague.com), we planned their Season 3 Draft Night at Ladder 15 on 15th and Chestnut. We were given the task of creating a flyer, promotion and creating a Facebook event for the draft night. I was also called to help out with set up and running of the event for PMBL. The creative aspect went smoothly. Because of the recent sponsorship by And 1 basketball company, the first draft of the flyer that PMBL loved, had to be changed a few times. Dealing with school and finals coming up, then also getting…

My internship at Maiden Media Group this semester has been nothing short of amazing.  Not only did my experience provide me with a whole new outlook on what internships are all about, but it helped me to realize where my strengths and weaknesses lie, what I like (…and what I don’t), and a better idea of where I really hope to end up after graduation.  My main supervisor, Janeane Tolomeo, told me something really important… and I won’t forget it anytime soon.  She said to me, “It’s really important to remember that Account Managers need to do a lot more…

Interning at Philadelphia Style Magazine,  can be a lot of work at times, but does come with perks. For the past month or so we have been putting together everything needed for the May/June issue of the magazine. This issue has the actor, Jason Statham, on the cover. How Philadelphia Style picks its cover models is by choosing a celebrity that has something to do with our fine city of Philadelphia. This may be anywhere from growing up in the area to working in it. Jason Statham recently finished shooting his new movie Safe, which has many scenes shot in…

At the beginning of my internship I had no idea what to expect. I didn’t know if I wanted to get into radio. In fact, I had no idea what I wanted to do after graduation. I chose this internship because I thought it would be fun and I’d enjoy it. Well, after a semester at Clear Channel, I was right. I had a lot of fun and I enjoyed the experience so much that I plan to go back in the Fall. I worked with Wendy Rollins, Radio 104.5’s Assistant Program Director for the majority of my time at…

Harmelin Media is one of the largest media planning firms in Philadelphia area. I was always interested in the media planning industry, thus this was a perfect opportunity. With real hands-on work, I was able to get valuable experiences. Everyone is so nice and approachable. My direct supervisor always tried to give me something to do so I won’t be left alone without any work. From that, I gained valuable experiences and insights that how the advertising media planning industry works, and how this experience functions in the society. This was a valuable experience that one cannot achieve in other places.

So as this semester comes to an end, I began to think about my plans for the summer. I had a great experience with my interning at IG-Creative and I talked to my mentor Chris Steward about staying for the entirety of the summer. He welcomed the idea. Because of the requirement of me being in the office a minimum of 15 hours to be paid for my time, I decided to quit my job at Express, and open up the time to something that will help me with my future. While being at IG-Creative I saw that they have…

At Clear Channel, I have had the opportunity to meet several bands, big and small. I worked with the assistant program director, Wendy Rollins, to put on Live @ 5 on Fridays. Each Friday, a local band comes into the station to perform on live radio in the iHeartRadio Theatre. I greet the bands and help them load any equipment they have brought with them. I make sure they are on track to sound check in a timely manner so they will be ready to go live at 5pm. Later, I bring the band’s guest list to Clear Channel’s receptionist.…

Harmelin Media has various accounts that range from automotive to insurance companies. For Ford Fiesta, the firm was able to turn around the sales by planning which media to advertise in, and by refurnishing the direction of the advertisement. Also, by targeting young African Americans for BET awards on specific mediums, the firm was able to obtain the #1 cable award show title, guiding them to the peak. Also engaging on various radio buying tactics, the company  has lot of potential and future.
