The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
If you’re like me and think you don’t want to work for huge international advertising agencies, it can be hard to get in touch with excellent mom-and-pop type studios. I know I was confused and discouraged–their websites might only talk about the two head people and not at all about…
Urban Outfitters is no stranger to being criticized for being anything from too conservative (the company’s CEO donated to Rick Santorum’s campaign against legalizing gay marriage, among other things) to overly controversial (the company caused quite a stir with the message they were sending through their “eat less” shirts). Recently…
I have been interning in the account management department of Tierney for just about three months now, and I must say that the experience is everything I imagined it would be. I came into this internship looking to get a feel for the agency environment and to solidify my belief…
Although, I’ve been working at the Longswamp Tavern as a bartender for over a year, this past semester I also became an intern there. We are located in Macungie, which is about an hour outside of Philadelphia, located near Bear Creek Ski Resort. Being as we are located in a…
If there is one thing that I have learned during my internship at Quaker City Mercantile, it is to be ready for anything. Whether this is the nature of an internship or working at an advertising agency, it is a helpful tidbit to remember. I never really knew what to…
I’ve been interning for the March Of Dimes in King Of Prussia this semester. When I first started I wasn’t completely familiar with the organization and its cause. After a few weeks of interning there, I started to gather that even though the March Of Dimes is a non-profit organization there is…
I met Seun Olubodun almost a year ago. At the time, his business was dependent on ‘trunk shows.’ Since he started Duke & Winston in 2009, Seun has spent countless hours at booths and tables all over the region selling his graphic t-shirts, sweatshirts, and accessories. I experienced it all…
As a technical writing intern at Philadelphia Gas Works that started this January, I haven’t been doing much work related to advertising. Once again, technical writers deal with the communication between a piece of paper and the audience. I always like to use the example of how the manuals that are…
Nervous. Excited. I had a rush of feelings when I first started my Internship with Skai Blue Media. Looking back on my first day, any anticipation I had, I left at the door as I stepped foot in the office. I was so warmly welcomed by everyone and was eager…
Spring semester of 2012 I have been interning at Philadelphia Style Magazine. At my internship I assist the publisher’s assistant. Interning at Philadelphia is a wonderful experience. The past few months we put together the Tori Burch issue of the magazine. Since I intern for the publishers assistant we handled…
My time here at 20nine is coming to a close and I can’t help but think about how fast it went. I met amazing people and learned invaluable things that I will remember throughout my journey in the professional world. I never once had to run and get coffee or…
When I first got to my internship at PHL17, I got to find out that one of my tasks at my internship would be to watch the front desk from time to time. At first I was slightly discouraged. I never showed it, I just enthusiastically accepted the job, but…
