Creating Ad Opportunities Amid COVID Culture

My name is Chris Biehn and I am a senior studying account management in the Klein school. I have the privilege of interning this summer at Red Tettemer O’Connell + Partners, a full service traditional advertising agency. Throughout this chaotic season of economic and situational uncertainty, all agencies have been met with the challenge to adapt or fall behind. I have seen the innovative approaches RTO+P has taken to maintain client trust, increase advertising for some client brands, and win new business through strategic and creative brand bids. I value learning about strategy and problem solving, so it has been…

Social Media Intern at OuiWed.co

Hello everybody! My name is Francesca Thorn and I’m currently a senior advertising major at Temple University with a concentration in strategy and research. With everything turning to remote work due to COVID-19, I decided to keep my options open to many different job positions with different companies. With a heavy interest in fashion and design, I mainly decided to apply to as many social media management and marketing internships positions that would revolve around using your creativity and learning how to better utilize social media. After a long search, I had the pleasure of interning for Brittany Burns as…

Working for JPMorgan Chase within the inaugural Virtual Internship CLDP Class

Today was the first day of the last week of my virtual internship with JPMC. I will admit that I am feeling bitter sweet by the fact that I have to end. I was trying my best to stay on as an extended intern during the school year but unfortunately due to Covid they aren’t extending any extra internships. This experience wasn’t how I expected it to be being that in the years prior, interns are placed on teams to work as direct reports under managers and now this year, we are all following suit on a mock case study…

My experience working remotely at RAPP.

Hello! My name is Heather Gaskell and I am a soon to be grad of Temple U! This summer, I was a copywriting intern at an ad agency called Rapp, in their Dallas office. Going into this internship, I honestly had no idea what to expect. It was my first internship working remotely and it was one of the only places that I had applied to who had decided to keep their summer internship program. But, as I am entering the final two weeks of my internship, I can say with confidence that it has been one of the most…

Step Out of Your Comfort Zone!

Hi everyone! My name is Natalie Petrenko and I will be a Senior this upcoming Fall. I am majoring in Advertising with a concentration in Media Planning. This Summer I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to intern at Harmelin Media as the Social team’s first remote intern. Even though I have a concentration in Media Planning, I never had experience working in a media buying agency before. After seeing the application for this internship, I realized that I do not have as much experience as I would have liked to. I was hesitant on even applying because I…

Account Management Snapshot At RTO+P

My name is Christopher Biehn. As a former journalism student, I converted to advertising and transferred to Temple. My summer internship at Red Tettemer O’Connell+ Partners has secured my confidence that the account management career path is the right fit for me. One of the many strengths of RTO+P is their collaborative team effort. I was particularly impressed with the brainstorming and creative sessions. Everyone’s input is highly valued, and the final advertising projects incorporate many different ideas. This has led to RTO+P’s reputation for high client satisfaction. Having exposure to all steps of the advertising process has allowed me…

My Time at Sports Illustrated

Hi everyone! My name is Liam McGrath and I am a student at Temple University. I have had the absolute pleasure of interning with wonderful people at Sports Illustrated and Fantasy Football World Championship (FFWC). These last few months at Sports Illustrated have been the best I could have imagined. I have met great people and learned so many amazing things. My Favorite Parts of This Internship Although I loved every single part of this internship, there were a few parts that really stood out to me. These included being able to talk about how to spin FFWC’s position in…
