I wear many intern hats
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…
Internship @ Fox Update
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…
Old Town Tender
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…

[ Submitted by Dani Masi, Advertising Copywriting Student :: tub49931@temple.edu ] What better way to spend a rainy Friday afternoon then visiting Philadelphia ad agencies? Friday was the annual Philly Ad Club Agency Crawl. 50 students from universities and colleges across the Philadelphia region gathered to “crawl” from ad agency…
Pixar’s Slightly Creepy Viral Campaign
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,…
Zyrtec’s Gettin’ Desperate
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…
Skittles ‘Touch’ Online Ads
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…
It’s a balancing act
(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.…
Cocktails in Ancient Egypt on a Sunday Afternoon?
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…
KYW Newsradio 1060: Promotions & Events Internship
People have been asking me lately, why are you an advertising major, interning at a radio station, and going to law school in fall? And my favorite question is, why aren’t you pre-law? Well first off there is no such thing as pre-law so that is why I am not…
