Only Elite Matters: My Phenomenal Experience

I was lucky enough to be a social media marketing intern for Only Elite Matters, a digital agency that specializes in the arts including photography, videography, event planning, etc. They are a Philly-based agency ran by four talented and smart individuals who specialize in their own department: Event Planning, Social Media/Marketing, Photography/Videography, and Public Relations. Coming into the internship, I wasn’t really sure about what exactly I was getting myself into. I thought I wasn’t going to have as much hands-on experience, but I was luckily very wrong about that. I was able to delve into content creation, event planning,…

Reverent

My semester was spent doing branding work for a family friend out in California. Since this was a start up company, I had little to go off of, only my conversations with my coworkers. I was fortunate enough to have previously worked with my supervisor this past summer at a salon. Growing up in the hair industry (my mother and myself have worked in this industry for a long time), I thought it was fun to use my knowledge in a new way, with using my hand at branding. One thing this internship really opened my eyes to is the…

Hello, My name is Nina Symone Freeman, I’m a Junior in the Lew Klein College of Media and Communications. Majoring in advertising with a concentration in account management and a minor in general business at the Fox School of Business.

I was then hired as the account management/marketing intern. Two River Development is a small real estate development firm that focuses on buying,…

My Internship Experience

My name is Dan Finke and I am a Temple advertising student focusing in art direction. Over the past several months I have had the unique opportunity to work on establishing a brand for a long established landscape and property maintenance company in Pennsylvania. Formerly known as Gemco, the company was established over thirty years ago as what started as a source of side income and flourished into a full time undertaking. As a result of this unplanned success Gemco would never grow to develop a brand identity which is where I come in. I have been tasked with establishing…

A fresh JOLT of energy

Early on I was always told that the geographic location you establish yourself in can be just as important as your major. Coming in as a freshman at Temple university to study Advertising with a Brand Strategy track, I took this into consideration. Being from Philadelphia, my loyalty and hope for the city runs deep on every spectrum. Including professionally. Even though NYC would have clearly been a more lucrative option. Looking back in retrospect as a senior, im happy with my decision and as well as the way Philadelphia has grown in terms of the amount of Agencies and…

The Importance of Building Relationships

Hi everyone! My name is Gabriella Foschini, and I am a Sophomore Advertising Major at Temple University. This semester I had the pleasure of interning at Advent Consulting here in Philadelphia Pa. Advent is a very small agency that does everything from advertising to branding to event planning for companies in the Philadelphia area. The company consists solely of Joe Dicandido and his employee Cameron, in addition to the other multiple interns that were working here alongside me this semester. Interning at such a small company has so many advantages, from becoming close to and comfortable with the people I…

My Adventure of Interning for an Independent Writer

Hello! My name is Brianna Salort and I’m a senior majoring in advertising. I just wrapped up my internship with an independent scientific journal writer, Michael Eisenstein here in Philadelphia. His business is an independent LLC, which is very unique compared to what most people would want to intern for. I chose this because it is a much more realistic idea of what I want to do in life. Create my own business and customize projects as per client’s requests. His sole job is to research and write scientific journals and articles for well, scientists! As an intern, I helped…

Lug Nuts, Loaded Knuckles, and Chassis Oh My!

Hi there, i’m Amanda, an advertising major with a concentration in account management. This spent this semester interning with Dorman Product, a leader in the after market automotive parts industry. Located in Colmar PA, I spent an hour traveling each way three days a week. Waking up Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 5:30 and stopping by Richies on the way to the train became my morning routine. At Dorman, we are not employees,were contributors, because every new idea is welcomed and valued. Just from this, you can tell that Dorman is a welcoming place, which was only brought to light…
