Hi! My name is Lia Barteet and I am a Senior here at Temple in Philadelphia, PA. As a transfer student I started my academic journey at Temple University last spring. Although I was a Junior I didn’t feel I was ready for an internship so I worked hard in my advertising classes, participated in Temple’s student run agency, Allotrope, while attending Temple Advertising Club meetings, and finally attended Klein’s virtual career fair. At the virtual career fair I met Ann Gray. I ended up getting an interview with Harmelin Media and was offered an internship on their Search Engine…

Many advertising agencies, from the smallest of boutique styles in the smallest midwest town you can think of all the way to the big guns on Madison Ave, position themselves as the “cool guys”. Some are even as daring to say, “We don’t hire sh*t heads,” but there’s no way to really know that until you step into the office and experience it first hand. This past semester I interned at Brian Communications, a strategic communications firm sitting high on Broad Street. Brian was that standard for the culture I was looking for. Since my first day, I realized what…

Hi everyone, my name is Riley Flanagan, and I was a maker intern at RTOP for the spring of 2024. I got the chance to work in the production department and see how things are brought to life in the advertising world. Even though I am not a production student, Klein has given me the opportunity to pursue all my interests. I am an advertising major with a concentration in account management. Since Klein allowed me to start my own TV show, I have a background in TV production (specifically videography), but not so much in photography. But still here…

My process of working with REC Philly has blossomed throughout the time I’ve been there. For those who aren’t familiar, REC Philly is a creative incubator that equips artists and creative entrepreneurs with the tools they need to thrive in the digital world. They offer things like studio spaces, networking, and workshops to help creative entrepreneurs be at the forefront of their industry and gain special insight on how to succeed as a creative. I came across the company when I was a freshman at Temple. As someone looking to build their brand as a creative, REC instantly became a…

My first experience as a Photo Assistant with Pushnik Photo Ever since I received my first SLR for high school graduation, the affinity I developed for capturing moments of life on camera was born. I began to realize that photography provided an eye into the unique interpretation every individual has of the world, and this was fascinating to me. Photography was always something that I treated like a hobby, but as I progressed through college studying advertising, it dawned on me that I could potentially combine my passion for photography with my knowledge of marketing in order to work in…

Hello! My name is Lily Knapp, a senior advertising major with a concentration in account management. This past semester, I had the opportunity to intern at Let’s Rallie, an interactive event app based in Philadelphia. As a startup, Let’s Rallie was in the process of solidifying its mission and defining itself as an app. Throughout the semester, the founder clarified Let’s Rallie’s identity and mission, providing me with invaluable insights into various aspects of startup operations, as well as allowing me to perform my duties within advertising, sales, and public relations to support the company at large. When I began…

Going into my internship at The Color Room, I was a little bit nervous I wouldn’t be prepared or have the knowledge to do as well as I wanted, but that was not the case. Everyone at TCR is so helpful and has done everything they can to make me feel comfortable and motivated in my position. I’m especially inspired by the owner, Audriana, who built this salon from the ground up after she graduated from college. From her, I’ve been able to learn how to market a small business, but also the process of starting one. As someone who’s…

Hello! My name is Gabrielle Romaine and I am currently in my final year at Temple University. As an advertising major concentrating in media planning, I was excited to get the opportunity to explore the world of Public Relations.

I enjoyed gaining hands-on experience while learning about organic press and how to create awareness for a brand. By using applications for daily tasks such as WordPress, TvEyes, Mailchimp, and Canva, I learned how to create engaging content and calculate the value of PR. I began…

Being an undergrad who is getting ready to graduate is probably one of the most exciting, yet intensely scary, times of your life. The advertising major, one that is so flexible and can be applied to an endless amount of career paths, can be overwhelming to a student trying to figure out exactly which path is the one she wants to take.  Hi, my name is Devon Mercado. Am I the person who I just described? Yes. Although I think many of my peers can relate to my exact situation. This spring semester, I am interning for MayoSeitz Media, a…
