Hey everyone, My name is Deione Sydnor, senior advertising major at Temple University. I set out with what seemed like an impossible mission at the beginning of my senior year, take 36 credits in 2 semesters with 2 internships. Fortunately, I have accomplished both, barely, currently in a 19 credit semester to graduate on time, working 30 hours a week,  and interning at LevLane Advertising/PR/Interactive agency, it’s a wonder how I get up on time to do anything. After successful completion of my internship at the non-profit organization, City Year, I set my eyes on getting into an advertising agency,…

Before stepping into LevLane Advertising’s Media department, my expectations for  being responsible for the creation of a segment of a media plan were minimal. Shortly into the internship I was given the assignment of contacting radio stations located in Chicago, to help develop a media schedule for a client located in the major city of Illinois. I set out on the task of locating a Nostalgic radio format in the Chicago area that covered three counties, in and including the surrounding area of Chicago I began making several phone calls to different stations I found through sources provided from the…

…Is that I still have a lot to learn. Though I’ve completed my required 150 hours at MOD Worldwide for the semester, I plan to continue to take advantage of this great opportunity and gain as much experience as I can for as long as they’ll have me. That being said; if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that no matter how much you think you know, there will still always be more to learn. Working at MOD for the semester as a graphic design intern has taught me so many new techniques and tips that, admittedly, I…

I went to the Travie McCoy concert on March 19. It was super awesome. Before Travie came on the stage the Bad Rabbits and Black Cards performed. I really likes the Bad Rabbit’s performance. When Travie finally came on the stage at around 9 PM, he put on a great show. Songs like “Bad All By Myself” and “Be Alright” kept me dancing the entire night. I went with my best friend which made it even more fun! Interning at Live Nation allowed me to score free tickets for my best friend and I, and we had a blast. Other…

I wear many intern hats here at Quaker City Mercantile. As I’ve stated before, everyday is different here at the agency. I’ve recently been trusted to proofread various pieces we are going to send out to our clients. For example, one client of ours is TYR (the swim company) and I was asked to proofread the magazine we would present to the client. It was very interesting reading through the magazine since I got to learn about all the different styles of goggles from Aquasockets to Hydrospex. This is what I love about advertising. You are able to learn about…

It has been about three months since I have started interning, which is so hard to believe! I cannot get over how fast the semester has been flying by. I am delighted to say that I have been enjoying my position as a Marketing/PR intern in the Dean’s Suite at Fox. Each day I am giving new duties, which keeps things interesting for me because I am experiencing everything that goes on in making a company operate. One thing I really admire about the full-time staff I work with is the amount of respect that they have for the other…
