From the first day I worked at Defined Clarity my boss told me how beneficial this internship could be.  As long as I put all my effort into helping his company, he would utilize all his connections in helping me find a job post-graduation.  Him saying that to me, made me work that much harder while I was there.  Every week he gave me different things to consider, mini-projects to get my creative juices flowing and tasks aside from my daily routine.  I had so much motivation inside of me because I saw how much ambition my boss had in…

Again, my name is Patrick and I am the home merchandising intern at Anthropologie’s home office!  I cannot believe that I have been with the company for thirteen weeks, and that my last semester at Temple University is coming to an end.  I wanted to take this chance to speak to my own learnings and give some tips of the trade to future interns, who might not know what to expect. Always say yes.  It might sound silly and a little ridiculous, but saying yes to every request (obviously within practical and normal reason) shows an eagerness and commitment to…

This Spring Semester 2012 I have been interning with The Philadelphia 76ers. When people find this out, they always ask me how it is working there. I’m going to use this blog post to talk about the workplace culture at The Philadelphia 76ers. I feel like this is important to know for those who are interested in working there. Personally, I wish I knew about the workplace culture and environment of the prospective places that I want to be employed at. Workplace culture is important because even though a business may be in the industry you are passionate about, the…

A week from today will be my last day at LevLane. And I can honestly say, I wish I didn’t have to leave. LevLane has a mix of talent and personalities that makes for a fun and interesting office. I always feel welcome and included. I’ve been to kick-off meetings, status meetings, internal meetings, etc. I really enjoyed an internal meeting to dicuss one of our clients, The Rothman Institute. It was a great experience to witness LevLane’s employees bounce ideas off each other and share their insights. I really felt part of the group. I shared my ideas and took…

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…
