interactive media

Ever since I had an assignment about gamification in the advertising strategy and positioning class, I came to be very keen in interactive media. It is great how you can turn boring advertisements that people always complaining about to something they love to interact with and enjoy. I am currently taking the interactive media class this summer and also interning in Financial Integrity Resources Management, LLC “FIRM” as a digital marketing intern. I am learning a lot about how important interactive media is and am applying it to my work at FIRM, which is a great way to learn. I…

What an Experience!

Hello hello all! My name is Becky Juda and I am currently a senior with a focus on Account Management. As I am soon to graduate this December, I decided to take an internship this summer to get my foot into the door in the advertising industry.

A 9 to 5 Surprise (actually, I only work 9 to 2)

  Obviously for an internship, your hours aren’t going to be the same as your full-time job. I work downtown at ChatterBlast and one of the first things they asked us – even before our orientation day – was what kind of schedule we’d like and our vacation plans. My only experience before this was for a designer, where there was no set schedule and I’d come in with night-before notice. So not only was a set schedule really refreshing so I wasn’t always on-call, but it was surprising to see how a more concrete business position actually works, partly based on my past…

Max Steel Plate Experience

My experience at Max Steel Plate (MSP) as an Advertising Intern, has been very positive so far.

I am the only intern, which is a large challenge that I am looking forward to. Being a part of a small company has been a great experience; there is a…

Tea-riffic teas and more at Harris Tea

Hello! I see you’ve stumbled upon this quirky little post. My name is Deanna L Gormisky. Deanna is just fine. I am a copywriter who is interning at Harris Tea Company in New Jersey. Maybe you’ve heard of them; maybe you haven’t. I’d go into the spiel of their address, which is 344 New Albany Road, and how they’re about 15 minutes away from the Betsy, and how they’ve been in business for an extremely long time, but that’s taking away from what they do: they make tea. That is all you need to know. Or, is it? I’m joking.…

Temple News Intern

So far, being an account executive intern for Temple News has been a great experience. Thinking of different businesses to contact and reasons as to how having their ad in the Temple News can benefit them is great. It gets you to thinking deeper and building my persuasive skills. Whenever I go out to places to eat or shop I now think to myself if this store can benefit from having their ads in the Temple News then I introduce myself to the manager to get further contact. Interning at the Temple News has made it even easier to network…

Big Apple

My name is Matthew Morrison and I work for Temple News. Friday, the fourth of April was no ordinary day. A few Temple news workers, including my self, were sitting on a train out of Hamburg NJ barreling down the tracks to the core of the Big Apple.

Nine schools belonging to the northeastern part of the states had been invited to participate in this round table event. Taking Place in the Harvard building, we found ourselves in awe. Every room passed held towering bookshelves…

StyleHaul Intern Diaries

A day in the life of a Stylehaul NYC intern is interesting. I walk into an small office with splashes of colorful artwork and textured slick rugs, the office is made up of about 15 women separated by different departments. On one side of the white rows of tables sits  account managers, and on the other side sits sales. The office is quiet expect for the occasional phone calls and small talk between the co-workers. The interns sit in the back section of the office. My view is the artwork that hangs by the walls. The ladies in the office…
