Hi! My name is Abby Layden, and I am a senior advertising major. This fall, I had the great opportunity to intern at Brian Communications in Center City, Philadelphia. Located in the heart of the city, I was able to work with people who value their employees and the importance of teamwork. I feel this experience has, most importantly, taught me what I want for my career. After working for the first few weeks, I learned that I would love to work here or in another office that has the same environment. I am very grateful that I was brought…

Hello, fellow advertising owls! And anyone else who might be stumbling across this post. My name is Mariesa Cozza, and this semester I had the pleasure of completing a marketing internship with the Utica Comets AHL and Utica City FC. Luckily for me, there were plenty of familiar faces, as I actually spent a great deal of time working for the company as an office assistant starting in highschool.  Although the company and the office weren’t new to me, the marketing department was. I was able to learn all about how each part of the department functions and how they…

My name is Brianna Coates and I am currently studying advertising at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

In the advertising industry, there will be times when creatives must overcome creative blocks. However, that can be easier said than done, especially if you can’t find the right inspiration.  Throughout the past few years as a writer/designer, I’ve faced many blank pages and empty design files. Although, that experience has given me the methods to move past my creative blocks. Expectedly, it boils down to research, but that’s too broad of a topic. Instead, I’ve separated it into three main points.  What has the brand posted in the past?  During my social media internship, my supervisor sent a file…

Hello, fellow owls and anybody just stopping through! My name is Isis, I’m a senior here at Temple pursuing an advertising major with an art direction concentration. This semester I was able to land my first internship!

I’ve worked as a graphic designer in previous work studies, but I was never…
