I think one of the most important things to do as an intern is keep up with the new clients that your company is signing on and with the rewards they are receiving. LevLane has three new client relationships; Philadelphia Financial, KFC Atlanta, and KFC Houston.  KFC Atlanta consists of 103 comapany and franchised restaurants.  KFC Houston consists of 88 company and franchised restaurants. Now LevLane works with over 400 KFC restaurants from New England to South Florida, and west to Houston. LevLane was awarded for their “Unlitter Us” campaign for the Philadelphia Recycling Office.  We have received national recognition and…

Hi, my name is Deione Sydnor-Robinson, Senior Advertising major at Temple University, currently interning at City Year Greater Philadelphia. The United States is currently facing an Educational Drop-out Crisis, every 26 seconds a students gives up on their education, which equates to nearly one million students dropping out of high school every year. City Year is an AmeriCorps Program that unites diverse young adults for a year of full-time service. As tutors, mentors, and role models, these young leaders work on diverse teams to make a difference in the lives of youth, keeping them in-school and on-track to high school…

On this past Wednesday, October the 20th, Philadelphia Technology Park opened.  This was all thanks to fellow employee at LevLane, Holly Mantle. Holly has been working on this project for a very long time now and finally her hard work can be praised. Located in South Philadelphia, on the old Navy Yard, this facility will serve South Jersey, Wilmington, and Mid-Atlantic regions that are looking for somewhere to store computer servers and other IT infrastructure.  This is a great opportunity for companies to have a safe place to store their servers and information. There is a 1.6 megawatt generator, which…

Being an intern I get to see all the cool promotions/creative ideas going through the agency. Francesca Gunning, Account Manager, has been working on a project for over 7-8 months involving Hunting Park.  The story was aired October 14th on NBC’s Nightly News with Brian Williams. CLICK HERE for the link to the story. Seeing this work being brought to life really makes proud to  be working in the advertising industry.  It also makes me look forward to the work that comes my way, whether it be traditional or out-of-home. One of my biggest goals is to not to just create…

Still no real luck with selling ads for the Sporting Club at the Bellevue.  I am targeting local businesses in center city and I have the feeling merchants are weary about putting ad money up for a new magazine they have never seen.  The first issue should be out this November! Hopefully then I can sell this ad space–I am still plugging away!

I have worked at LevLane Advertising/PR/Interactive for 3 weeks as of Monday Oct 11, 2010. Thus far this experience has taught me that when people say the advertising industry is such a fast paced environment it really is. As an intern here, I have learned how to better multitask. I have worked on 2 presentations for the agency to get a better understand of how to tackle tasks for our clients. Since working here, I have decided that Account Management is the best fit for me. Therefore, I’m more gung ho on graduating and succeeding in the industry. Watching, listening,…

One of the best parts about interning at MOD Worldwide is its location and the many local clients they have. Being able to walk down the block to take pictures of a new property for a realty company’s website, or hand delivering a proposal is surprisingly satisfying.  Not only is it gratifying for being so hands-on, but you also get a sense of being a part of the Philly business community.  MOD works largely with local upscale realty properties, like 10 Rittenhouse and The Ayer Condominiums. With clients literally blocks away, MOD is able to accomplish a lot of things, including maintaining a close…
