Since my first day another intern has been assigned to my boss, Diana. Her name Is Olivia and she is from Rowan University. From here on we work together on projects for the most part. Our first major project together was gathering tons and tons of information on Philly’s best restaurants, their top chefs and their best dishes or what they are known for. This project is for GPTMC, Greater Philadelphia Marketing Corporation and the idea is to create a cookbook featuring Philly’s best restaurants and chefs. The thought is to remind the audience that Philly has more than just…

Hi fellow bloggers, I would like to let you all know about my positive experiences I am having down in beautiful Orlando Florida. First things first, I am working at my Fathers agency Fry Hammond Barr(FHB) this summer for the second time. The first time I was just shadowing and doing remedial tasks to just you know get my foot in the door. This summer I am joining in on the a lot of the different teams here at FHB such as the creative, and account teams. I have found that as of now I tend to like the creative…

Earlier this month we put together a launch party with the shoe company Sebago to release their latest collaborative shoe collection. Sebago teamed up with NYC graffitti legend Stash to put together a new footwear collection. In addition to the footwear, we celebrated with DJ Smoke LES spinning music, while presenting the very first exhibition of Stash’s photo work in our upstairs event space. Stash, himself, was in attendance! The event’s beverages were sponsored by Heineken. I was lucky enough to be tasked with helping to get the word out about the event and responding to any questions about the event such as if…

Hi everyone, this is Jasmine coming to you from Teen Vogue again! One great thing about being an intern is that when you make a mistake it isn’t the end of the world! That’s not to say don’t be mindful with everything you do but your employer is expecting mistakes. Afterall, this is new territory for you, how would you come in knowing everything? I have made many mistakes this past summer but have prided myself on not being a repeat offender. I try to take a close look at the mistake that I made and figure ways to not…

Working at Ubiq has shown me what it’s like to be considered the “client”. What I mean by that is various businesses come to the store and vie for the attention of our buyer, managers, and staff so that they can bring their product in and onto our shelves. Companies such as Sebago and Adidas go to great lengths to keep the buyers and staff pleased . Sebago’s rep and our good friend Cody recently stopped by the store to show us a new 2012  Sebago Collection in the works — a collaboration with Filson Leathers. Websites within our industry haven’t even gotten…

I just finished my marketing internship with At Media. Being my first internship, I had no idea what to expect but what I got was an incredible experience I will always keep as my foundation for my career. I learned how a business runs, how to effectively speak to clients, how to contact people to get what you need, how to treat your coworkers, and how to be successful. I admire that they are always trying to improve and build their company. It’s forever growing and I can’t wait to see where it will be in 5, 10, or 15…

What’s the saying? “Finding a job is a full-time job.” Sorry to spit clichés, but it seems the same can be applied to internships. I worked my tail off just to get an internship, an UNPAID internship at that. It’s my future, so obviously a lot of thought went into the process. I began by deciding if I would prefer the rigid structure and program of a large advertising agency, or a loose apprenticeship like those oft found at smaller firms. Turned out the pickings were too slim for me to really be picky. I got a small firm. Which…
