Not Your Typical “9 to 5”

Hi all! I’m Ashley, a junior majoring in Advertising with a concentration on Brand Strategy and Research.

Internship at Luxty Tans!

My name Julia Kauffman, and I am a currently finishing up my junior year majoring in advertising with a brand strategy and research concentration. I decided to take the internship course this semester because during my job last semester at a clothing store I was chatting with a customer about my major and career aspirations. Shortly after explaining how I was looking for an internship without knowing anything about this woman’s background, she had offered me an internship at her company that she established a few years ago. The company is called Luxty Tans, which is a spray tanning business.…

My Time at Focus Pointe Global

Hi everyone! My name is Yasony and I am currently interning at Focus Pointe Global as the marketing and social media intern for this spring!

Thanks EMBA Program!

Howdy – My name is Daniel Long, I’m a senior Art Direction student at Temple, and I had the pleasure of working on campus for Fox School of Business’ Executive MBA program as their graphic design and marketing strategy intern this semester.

The Executive MBA program is a unique one, or it was to me at least. Class sessions are held one weekend…

Avoiding the Application Black Hole

No, I’m not talking about the groundbreaking first image of a black hole that broke the internet the past couple weeks (although it is incredible). The Philly Ad Club, Temple Ad Club, and Temple PRSSA sponsored an event that informed attendees of the do’s and don’ts of the job application and interviewing processes to be distinguished among the crowd of other applicants. The event was moderated by professor Sheryl Kantrowitz, and consisted of a panel of professionals in the advertising and recruitment industry. The panelists were Catherine Laborde, Sabrina Manno, and Rebecca Wuhl, and all three spoke enthusiastically about what…

A Wild Ride at The Ranch

My name is Marissa Ward. I am a senior advertising major with a concentration in copywriting. This semester, I have the pleasure of working at Red Tettemer O’Connell and Partners (RTOP) located in Center City. I’ve wanted to intern at RTOP for a year ­– and I was not disappointed.

The people and subsequent culture at RTOP are welcoming and supportive of crazy ideas – because those are the ones…

Marketing and Communications Intern

My name is Tiffani Quang and I am a current senior at Temple University. I am majoring in Advertising (Account management concentration). I am working at an Assurance company called Lombard International. My title is Marketing and Communications Intern. This experience has taught me that life in the corporate world is about connections. Making connections with your co-workers, your boss, and the surrounding people are important. Working in a cubicle and working on PowerPoint presentations is not the most exciting, but it does teach you the in and outs of PowerPoint (and other Microsoft suite applications). There is much more…
