The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
When I was first hired at Lunchbox Communications I expected to perform the typical duties of a copywriter/social media intern. However, I knew that because it’s such a small team, I’d probably have to perform other tasks as well. What I didn’t know was that I would end up…
My internship this semester was overall a huge learning experience. Not only did I learn about the work I was doing and the industry I was working in, but I was learning how to be a fully functioning, working adult. That was probably the hardest lesson for me. I’m not…
Hello there! My name is Set and I am currently interning at the Office of the City Representative (OCR). Sounds kind of unfamiliar in the advertising realm, doesn’t it? And yes, I am not working for an advertising agency but a government-based office. It may seem unrelated to my major…
You’re eating a new brand of breakfast bars, and then a question comes to mind. Something along the lines of: “What are the healthiest granola bars?” In decades past, one might have looked in a book or asked a fellow friend. Now the answer is at the tips of one’s…
When I first started my internship in August, I was daunted by the thought of sitting at a desk in a small cubicle that faced the bathroom, staring at a computer for eight hours a day. As I spent more time working, I realized that while that may be my…

It was a cold and windy day to start off the Philadelphia Marathon 2015. I remember that day clearly as I was basically frozen from walking around on-site to help out with media tasks. Arriving as early at 5 am to help the team to prep, I felt a ‘burdened’…
So what do I mean by the greatest experience? Remember the days when your mom, dad, teachers and friends are always telling you to stop procrastinating and plan ahead of time? Well, here’s the thing. No matter how much, how long, or how well you plan things, it’s always going…
While working within the marketing department of Fox 29 I was fortunate enough to work with them on a campaign pitch with bike rental company INDEGO. During this time I was asked to film short vignettes interviewing Indego users asking where they were “Indiegoing”, a term the team at fox…
I have been interning within the sales and marketing department of Fox 29 for about two months and I have learned from my experience there that there are two things to keep in mind when taking an internship, One never underestimate what responsibilities you will be given and Two get…
ChargeItSpot, a Philly start up, provides a free and secure phone charging solution to people throughout the US and Canada. During my internship at this company, I was constantly impressed with the continual innovation of the product, the rapid growth of the business, and the constant collaboration of innovative ideas between team members. They are not afraid…
