The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
The Temple athletics department
My name is Kenneth Yeboah and I am a student-athlete here at Temple University. I was granted the access to work with Karli Hausman , Assistant Ad/ Marketing and Fan Engagement. It was a very eye opening experience considering it was my first real job. It was not hard to adjust because my boss brought me in with open arms. I was able to discuss with different administrators about different marketing ideas for athletic games. I was granted access to discuss with them great ideas to attract more people to games. It was really cool to see what goes on…
The ~Intern~ Life
I was wasting away in my late afternoon class when my phone starts violently shaking on the table. Someone was calling me. I took a gander at the number but not recognizing who it was, I did what any person would, I ignored it. After class, I was waiting in line at Starbucks in the Student Center and decided to check my voicemail. The random New York City number was Tom Dolan, a recruiter for Hearst Television. I previously expressed to Professor Ed Dress my interest in working in promotions and aspiration of landing an internship with Hearst this summer. …

Internship in the Office of the Provost
My name is Anthony Russo and I am a student athlete here at Temple University. I was fortunate enough to land an internship this summer in the Office of the Provost working for Jodi Laufgraben.

The most recent on that we did was creating a walking tour for the New Student Athlete Seminar class. We took them around the campus and informed them on what different buildings or areas were about. We interns…
From Owl to Peacock: Working For NBCUniversal

My name is Kieran and I’m an entering Senior, studying Advertising and Business, here at Temple. I have spent the summer as an Ad Sales intern, at NBCUniversal’s West Coast Office. Although my experience isn’t in sales, I accepted the position because I thought it would be a great opportunity to understand another part of the…
3 Pieces of Advice That No One Gives Interns
EXLing Forward
After three noteworthy years, occupations, and apartments – my desire for change, both professionally and geographically, became irrepressible. Three months and thirty-odd miles away, I am now comfortably situated in Lambertville, New Jersey, as a lead Marketing Coordinator for EXL Service. My name is Alexandria, and after an entire summer, I still have trouble describing my internship. What I initially envisioned as an opportunity to shadow in a new and emerging field, quickly transformed into a full-time position as my predecessor departed on maternity leave. In her absence, I independently lead all marketing efforts for TTL’s (Travel, Transportation and Logistics)…
