I have been diagnosed with procrastination, and it is not a case of the mild variety. I’ve been procrastinating since the third grade. It has only gotten worse over time with longer deadlines for assignments in college. I knew it was something I needed to work on, however, I procrastinated…

Layouts. Design. Layouts. Design. Layouts. Print. TV. Layouts. Design. These were the only things I knew I loved about advertising. However, other than a few layouts, I didn’t do much of any of that in my internship. I got to experience projects I would not have encountered at school. I…

I have imagined my future agency working self, as I would imagine most advertising students have, and to be quite honest, I’ve always imagined myself at an agency on the larger side. This might be because I prefer to dream big, but I will admit I was very excited to…

This a post about where I (as an intern) fit in at Skai Blue Media, a fairly small PR agency. There aren’t separate departments there; when there is a new client the owner assigns an account manager. However, she believes in teamwork so everyone works on each client; the account…

My intern work at a small public relations agency is not at all like doing work in an academic environment. In a way, it actually reminds me of working for myself. The main difference is that instead of my clients giving me a deadline, my boss does; well that and…

Everyone is so welcoming and helpful here and it’s a great experience.  I recommend to anyone who is looking for an internship. Something I’ve realized while interning here is…

Give the suit-side a fighting chance- try to learn about the client’s perspective before selling them things.

I started my internship at Harmelin Media on September 8, 2010. It has been nothing but a positive environment from the moment that I walked in the door. Everyone here is so friendly and willing to help that I have not once felt uncomfortable going to ask for assignments, or…

In my last post I talked about March of Dimes’ Prematurity Awareness Month and how we wanted to get buildings lit up in purple to spread awareness about the problems of premature birth.  The summer intern started the process and I did all the pre-lighting follow-ups and will be doing…

Holiday prep is one of the most anticipated jobs in the visual arts department at any retail store.  The preparation for the design concepts at Anthropologie began at the end of October.  The work we had to do can only be described as tedious!  The reason is because we needed…
