The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
One of my responsibilities in my internship with the English Department was to organize the alumni newsletter. This is the primary contact between alumni and the Department. It highlights several professors and honors students for academic achievements. My role in this newsletter this semester was to make sure the printing…
When one of your clients is about to be featured on Oprah’s “Favorite Things” list, it’s big. This is especially so for a small agency like MOD Worldwide that deals largely with local clients. One of MOD’s recently acquired clients had come to the company looking for a complete brand re-haul:…
The idea of teamwork at a fashion magazine is learned during the first shoot as an intern that you work on. A fashion editorial feature begins with the inspiration and ideas of the fashion director. Following up with the research of great “looks”, appropriate photographer, the scouting of gorgeous models,…
So since the semester is almost over, my internship director has given me the opportunity to come up with my own seasonal event for the company. Cities2night provides over ten different events over the year, from a huge New Years Party to a bowling tournament. The main objective of the…
My favorite project during the entire internship was for a section of the store called ‘Diener’. This part of the store is where home goods are sold, bath towels, plates, etc. The concept was a kind of 1950’s diner feel. Some of the things we made were paper cups cut…

Today is one the busiest travel days there is. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and tomorrow night is Black Friday. I can appreciate a good deal as much as the next person, but I don’t care for Black Friday. I don’t like waiting in lines (period!), or being subjected to ridiculous crowds.…
Recently at my internship at ReminderMedia, all of the interns were given a set of standards that we are all at this point expected to meet each day while doing any given task. For example, people making sales calls are expected to either make ‘X’ amount of calls per day…
