The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
As my internship at Maiden Media () comes to an end, I figured I’d blog about some of the things I’ve learned in the last three months that I’m sure a lot of people can relate to as little students in the big professional world. I was actually hired by…
My internship ended this past Friday, I am graduating in less than a month, and I am now posed with the daunting question most people in my position are faced with.. now what? Somehow I feel like sitting at home on my couch…
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…
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…
I just came across this design/branding project early this morning. I have to say it is one of the most inspiring and creative ideas that I have seen lately. The point is to increase awareness for Rock Hill, South Carolina. “Social was called in to create custom “tender” for use…

Pixar recently uploaded this video to their YouTube channel in promotion of Cars 2. This is their second viral video, after last years (much better) Lots-o’-Huggin Bear spot for Toy Story 3. What do you think? Is this too… weird for a kid’s movie? I believe Cars 2 is spy-oriented,…
An advertisement for Zyrtec popped up recently during an episode of Desperate Housewives on Hulu (yes, I still watch that show, ha-ha), and it’s desperate attempt to stand out against Allegra was disappointing. You can watch the commercial for yourself here, but I will describe it anyway: A businessman and his…
If I had a dream account to work on, I think I’d have to go with Skittles. Of course, I’m basing this solely off of the completely insane and original advertising they have already (I don’t even particularly like candy). Nothing is too weird for them. I believe the agency…
(my space, how it is, most of the time I’m at my internship)For all of you who can balance your school work, your internship, your job, and your personal life without pounds of chocolate and an IV of coffee, you are a robot and should not be reading this blog.…
The agency I intern for, Quaker City Mercantile, attends various events where they showcase our products. On Sunday, March 13th I was lucky enough to work at the event entitled Brewer’s Plate at The University of Penn’s Museum of Anthropology. The event, which…
