Today is my last day at Harmelin Media.  It has been a great run, and I’ve sure learned a lot.  To be able to watch an organization from the inside out was a great experience, one that will definitely benefit me in years to come.  Everyone I worked with was more than helpful and always hoping for me to succeed.  In my last hour with Harmelin, I made my rounds to bid farewell to everyone I had worked with, it was then that I discovered that everyone had great things to say about me.  They all ensured me I’d do…

Most of my time spent at Harmelin Media has been assisting Media Buyers/Planners with their assignments, however, today was my day to shine.  I was finally given a project to work on myself; it was my responsibility to create the TV schedule for Boscov’s in the Washington D.C. area! It was great to be given the opportunity to prove myself knowledgeable enough to create a schedule without any assistance, and the fact that my supervisor had confidence in me to do so was very satisfying.  In the end, after approval, my schedule ran as is in D.C.  So get down there and…

For this blog post, I want to talk about how my Marketing internship at JahRock’n Productions has made me feel more confident in pursuing a career in Sports and Entertainment Marketing. Interning at JahRock’n Productions has been a very rewarding experience thus far.  Based on the work and my job duties at this internship, it really assured me that going into Sports and Entertainment marketing is what I really want to do. Here are some of the reasons why my internship at JahRock’n has helped me: During the internship,  I used Social Networking Sites as a research and promotional tool. I…

Interning at the Bucks County Visitor Center has really allowed me to put my copywriting skills to the ultimate test.  My major project for the summer is writing the editorial content for their Destination Guide, which is the official destination guide for Bucks County tourism attractions.  Although writing solely about Bucks County’s “attractions” may seem boring I actually have a lot of fun writing about it.  I spend a lot of time going out and about through out the county actually interacting and getting to know our partners (which makes for great networking for the future!).  The other day I…

Today was the first time I came across a TV spot that I helped place, and I must say, it was rather exciting!  I’ve worked a lot on the Ford account at Harmelin, and today was the first time I guess you could say I witnessed my work pay off.  I was watching some prime programming when I witnessed a Ford Dealers Group advertisement. It was definitely a sense of accomplishment to know that the work that I’ve done is reaching people in the real world and benefitting an actual company. This is why I got in to advertising in the…

For this third blog, I want to talk about how my Marketing internship experience with JahRock’n Productions has personally affected me as I pursue my own music career alongside of my Advertising/Marketing career. As I stated in a previous post, one of the things that I learned how to do was to use Twitter and Facebook as a research and marketing tool. Using it this way is much different that how I would use it as a personal thing to just have fun and keep in touch with friends and family. As an inspiring music artist, I am not signed…

I’ve been interning at Lunchbox Communications in Manayunk over summer and I must say, there is something about interning for a small agency that is in a way, otherworldly. Being that I’ve had the chance to intern at both a larger ad agency and a smaller one, I’d definitely say that you have the ability to be more hands on at a smaller agency. Being that everyone’s job is pretty crucial how smoothly things run at a smaller agency, your role as an intern is just as important as who ever you happen to be working under. At a larger…
