The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
Throughout the past few years, there has been lots of talk about newspapers as a dying media. We hear it in our classes, in media articles, and even in newspapers! But although there has been lots of talk about print media diminishing, especially newspapers, as I learned today, newspapers are…
At this week’s meeting we did something a little bit different. It was movie night at TAC! For those who came out we got a chance to watch Art & Copy, a film about the advertising industry. It covered everything from big companies and agencies to the workers who put…
Where to look for paid agency internships in Philly and beyond.
“It’s time for a phone to save us from our phones.” People spend so much time on their phones they’re missing out on life. Interesting concept. I suppose Windows Phone is so fast that each of these people can do what it is they do and still have enough time…
“Honest to Goodness” is a new campaign from Healthy Choice. It demands more attention than the previous campaign with Julia Louis Dreyfus. It’s easier to sell an idea with unknowns than it is with a celebrity. What about people who don’t care for a particular celebrity? It creates an instant…
