The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
My name is Olivia Kenney and I am serving as a Graphic Design Intern at Slice Communications in Old City, Philadelphia. Over the course of this internship, I have learned a range of valuable information regarding social media, public relations, and client relations. What I will be focusing on in…
This past spring, I had an internship with Crossmedia in Philadelphia. Crossmedia is a media planning firm and though I did not necessarily want to pursue media in my advertising career, I wanted to gain a better understanding of the media side as my focus has been copywriting. I was…
It sounds ironic to take a creative break from creative work, but it is not an uncommon occurrence at Crossmedia in Philadelphia. One day this semester, I was asked by the team at Crossmedia if I wanted to watch Law and Order with them. I thought it was some sort…
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…
Although there have been smaller important things leading up to this big event such as marketing the non-profit and helping those in need find homes/furniture to start their new lives, the most important thing of the year is finally here. After months of finding the perfect center pieces, making programs,…
As a project management/analytics intern at Brian Communications and RealTime Media I was quick to learn that the concepts that we learn in class and utilizing them are two vastly different things. I thought that my days would be spent doing trivial work and going on coffee runs but less…
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…
