As the Semester Ends, My Advice for Future Interns

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…

Workplace Culture at The Philadelphia 76ers

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…

My last days at LevLane

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…

Life as an Intern: What I Learned

As an advertising student, fashion enthusiast, and career driven individual, my internship has helped me realize things not only about the industry, but life as well. It’s crucial that the place you decide to intern reflects your interests and your career goals. Before even applying, ask yourself, “Is this a place where I would want to work (after graduation)?” Hopefully, the answer is yes. If not, do your research, ask around, and find a company that best represents you. Secondly, don’t be afraid to speak up. I’ll admit, in the beginning I was shy and didn’t always voice my opinions.…

Internship Spring 12

I’ve been interning at an online marketing agency by the name of Flying Point Media in NYC; I help out in the SEO/SEM department. When I started there, it definitely felt like I hit the ground running because I quickly adapted and learned the general process of what I would be helping with and also what exactly I would be doing. In the beginning it was for a certain client, which was not very complicated, and since then we have been working with another client which is more tricky and a bit complicated. Nonetheless I have been enjoying seeing what…

Advertising Outside of an Agency: Retail Displays

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…

Learning to Walk the Walk

My name is Carly Tokarski, and throughout the past three months I have been interning with Maiden Media Group located in Old City, Philadelphia as an Account Management intern.  Starting out, my idea of an internship was an experience filled with filing papers, grabbing coffee, and doing all the not-so-great busy work that no one else wanted to do.  To my surprise, within my first few weeks of being at Maiden, I was assigned as the Account Manager for a non-profit organization, The Greater Philadelphia Coalition Against Hunger and their upcoming Walk + Run Against Hunger.  The work the other interns…

Last Day at KHI

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…

And now it’s the end.

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…

Advertising an event with IG-Creative

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…

Keep Thinking!

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…

The Magazine Vol. 2

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…

Clear Channel Broadcasting: Radio 104.5

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…
