The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
Hello everyone! I’m Cameron Kira Thomas, a senior Advertising major in the Art Direction track, and I’m a student brand ambassador for Express. Express is an American fashion retailer with over 600 national stores focusing on high-quality professional and casual apparel. The ambassador program titled #ExpressU gives students the opportunity to host on-campus events, create social media content promoting the brand, and give promotional presentations to fashion related organizations on campus. During my time in this program, I have gained a significant amount of clarity and connections that have helped me determine my path post-grad. What I’ve gained from this…
My name is Ashley Simpkins and this past semester I was lucky enough to intern with Group Two Advertising as their Account Services intern. Group Two is a full-service advertising agency that specializes in marketing for home builders. To say that my time with Group Two was amazing would be the understatement of the century. Not only was I able to gain valuable experience from the four account executives at the agency who acted as mentors to me, but I was also able to work within the other departments. This was something that I am very appreciative of because I…
Hello! My name is Camilla Reimer and I am a senior majoring Advertising with a concentration in Art Direction. This fall I interned at New York Life Insurance as a social media intern.

My role in the organization changed from day to day,…
My name is Hyeonjoo Min, a junior, majoring in Advertising with a concentration in Account Management. This past semester, I had an opportunity to intern as a market research assistant for Won International, a small e-commerce startup company.

My experience at Won International was truly amazing. This small-team environment, allowed for me to not only explore the different tasks of advertising and marketing while quickly integrating into the team. Being…
My time at The Franklin Institute allowed me to bolster my copy writing craft and learn new skills in email marketing and Excel. My boss Ben Harmer assigned me projects that allowed me to put measurable metrics on my resume.

Composing 5 email blasts, each were sent to over 180,000 Franklin Institute subscribers. Writing social media ad copy viewed by the Franklin Institute’s 600,000+ Facebook and Twitter followers. My personal…
Life feels so surreal at the moment. Taylor Grissom, the senior Advertising major in the Copywriting concentration just completed her third, (and possibly final) internship. Every internship I’ve obtained has been in the entertainment marketing field, and this semester I had the pleasure of being the Publicity & Promotions Intern at Allied Global Marketing. I want to share 2 major tips I’ve learned along the way because they could quite possibly change your entire internship experience. Learn the difference between agency & in-house: I’m sure if you’re interested in a career in advertising or marketing you’ve heard people talk about agency…
There are plenty of titles that I could use to introduce myself–Hannah Eadie, Temple University senior. Hannah Eadie, advertising major. Hannah Eadie, copywriter in training. But today I’m just going to explore my title as Hannah Eadie, marketing and communications intern at Temple University’s School of Sport, Tourism and Hospitality Management (STHM). If this internship taught me anything, it’s that I am so thankful for acronyms. Jokes aside, I really wasn’t sure what to expect once I accepted the position. I had heard about the opening through a friend who had interned there before, and once I saw the position open…
