The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
My name is Mariano Valenti, and I’m entering my senior year at Temple University. I’ve always had a tight schedule due to being a student-athlete at Temple, playing on the football team. So, I wasn’t able to previously secure an internship, but I was fortunate enough this summer to intern for Fountainview Terrace Apartments. My role was marketing and creating a social media presence for the company. I’ve had a great time while working, but I’m most grateful for the amazing people I’ve met and all that I’ve learned. It is incredible how the company collaborates and works together. This…
For the past month, I have been the Marketing Director for ACFW! I am leading their marketing team and helping them rebrand their image. This entails me and my team creating content for their social media platforms, translating their data analytics, building brand exposure, and collecting media during their fashion events. Just last week I stayed at the Showboat hotel where they held their summer fashion week to collect behind-the-scenes content for their media profiles, as well as make sure the event runs smoothly. From 8 am to 10 pm every day I was running all around the hotel helping…

Any chance you are looking to retire soon? Me either. But I have a lot of knowledge about retirement communities, how much they cost, what the benefits are, and some options across the country, thanks to my copywriting internship. So give me a chance to explain how an advertising agency gave me a vast background in retirement communities, medical centers, restaurants across the country and some more traditionally valuable skills in advertising. In early May 2022, I logged onto the first day of my first internship from my childhood bedroom in Scranton, PA. Joining the workforce with my baby blanket…
For the spring semester and summer of 2022, I interned at Clincierge, a global clinical trial patient support company based in Philadelphia. This company has the business model of B2B, or business to business. Providing a unique opportunity to learn about paid and organic social media marketing and brand strategy. Clincierge has taught me many lessons. The first, and perhaps the most important, is it taught me to be confident in my abilities and to always ask questions. Clincierge as an organization fostered a welcoming atmosphere where every person’s voice was valued. Considering this was my first internship in college,…
Hi, my name is Jordan Lese and I am currently interning at Sibling Vintage. Sibling Vintage is a clothing brand that up-cycles thrifted men’s dress shirts and turns them into women’s clothing. The basis of my internship is social media work. I assist in uploading/planning content for the Sibling Instagram page. Along with that, I have just begun the process of helping out with Influencer Outreach and assisting in any other tasks that may need to be completed for the business’s success. I have greatly enjoyed my time so far interning with Sibling and I look forward to the continuation…
What has this experience taught you? I think above all, this experience has taught me that entering the workforce shouldn’t be so scary, especially in this field. I think as a college student, I feel as though I am not a fully prepared adult, I am more in this limbo stage of my life. However, from many of my coworkers here at levlane not everyone seems to necessarily have their lives together. There’s never really a big turning point where you feel as though, yes I am an adult now! It’s more fake till you make it kind of scenario.…
I’m Delaney Hardekopf, a senior Advertising major on the brand strategy and research track at Temple University. This summer I had the great opportunity to work as a Music Marketing Intern for Brooklyn Made Presents, a concert promotions company based in Brooklyn, New York. I assist the marketing director, Stefanie May, along with 2 other interns in developing and carrying out promotional techniques for upcoming shows and bands who perform at their venues. Having had a strong passion to work in music business for the majority of my life, this internship was a great way to get entry-level music marketing…
As an intern at JBMP as a leasing agent, I have gained so much from this experience already. Everyday I show over five properties and interact with customers daily, so everyday I get to practice my communication skills, people skills, and my sales skills. This has turned me into a better businesswoman and a communicator. The two owners of the company are super inspiring because they are very young and already are so successful and know how to run a high-quality business. It makes me want to strive to work harder and be successful at a young age. This experience…
My name is Audrey Jakubik and I am a senior at Temple University. I am currently working at Boston Event Guide as a summer intern. My internship is fully remote with daily meetings. Boston Event Guide is an event planning group and I am working to market their events. So far, I have learned a lot more about the different aspects of social media marketing such as how to develop strong strategies and how to create content based on our weekly goals. The image posted is an example of a digital ad I created to market our event. I work…
