Nine Dots but 10/10 Experience

Hi! My name is Veronica Restrepo and I am currently a sophomore Advertising major with a double concentration in Art Direction and Brand Strategy & Research and a minor in Digital Marketing.

How to Land a Full-Time Job Before Graduation

There are a few tips we hear regarding internships on our way through college. Things like “make connections with people”, or “if you’re bored, always ask for more work.” I’m here to say that they are all true. When I first started my internship at LevLane, I was new to the advertising world. I had just begun my first semester of classes, and I didn’t know a fraction of what I know now. I was brought in to be a copywriting intern, but there wasn’t much copy work to be done at the time. On days that I found myself…

Identifying Your Inner Circle

“It’s important to consider the five people who are in your inner circle, because they are going to deeply and profoundly influence you,” Darrah Brustein, founder of Network Under 40, Why Your Inner Circle Should Stay Small, and How to Shrink It, HBR. If the above bothers you, rest assured you’re not alone. No one wants to be a carbon copy of their parents. No one wants to mirror their weird Craigslist roommate. The point is – though we value those around us, we want to be unique – and that’s OK! That aside, we have to acknowledge the power of…

An Intro to the Music Industry

Hi everyone, This past semester I’ve been lucky enough to work as an intern at Cinematic Music Group, in Brooklyn NY. I had an extremely positive experience at the label. I’ve been passionate about the music industry for as long as I can remember. I had an early introduction to the industry a few years back when I starting working as a tour photographer for a friend of mine. Since this experience, I’ve been dying to learn more about the industry (specifically from a label standpoint). During my time at cinematic I learned how each department within the label plays…

Breaking Into The Music Industry

So, my experience is a little bit different than most. I’ve actually never had an internship, however, I’ve been working since May at an amazing company that I love, and my position is being honored as an internship for credits at Temple. I originally applied for the position of summer Digital Marketing Intern at Fame House but after a series of interviews ended up being brought on as a part-time Digital Marketing Assistant and I couldn’t be happier. Fame House is a digital marketing and e-commerce agency located in Old City. We are a subsidiary of Universal Music Group, so…

Remote Internship at a Startup

My name is Ashley DellaRatta and I am a junior Advertising major on the Account Management track. During the fall 2019 semester, I had a remote digital marketing internship with Spari Travel, a startup business based in New York City. As advertising students, many of us consider most internships to be with large advertising agencies or big companies with in-house work.  For my first internship, I really just wanted to get my foot in the door, so I opted for something a little different.  I chose a remote position because I really wanted something that I was able to incorporate…

What Makes You Beautiful: Lessons Learned at a Beauty Start-Up

The beauty world is rapidly growing before our eyes; with the innovation of social media, the beauty industry has innovated how we express ourselves through make-up and has come a long way from the overly bronzed foundations and metallic eyeshadows from the early 2000s. For the past six months, I’ve been interning at beauty start-up LashBeePro in Center City Philadelphia. LashBeePro’s primary mission is to manufacture the best supplies for eyelash extensions so eyelash extension stylists can practice their craft with premier products.
