I have been interning at Valley Forge Casino Resort and they just recently offered me a job for the summer. My supervisor even told me that she wishes I was a senior so she could offer me a full time job right now. I was so happy to hear her say such kind words and I am excited to work at Valley Forge Casino over the summer! I plan on getting everything I can out of this experience and I am hoping that I will be able to stay on the schedule as an on-call once school starts back up…

So, my semester interning at Skai Blue Media is winding down to an end. In fact, as I write this, it is my last day at the office. I have learned so much about creating graphics to suit a clients needs, color, font, layout, design, etc. What I never realized that is probably the most important aspect of graphic design is the technicalities of printing. The work that you present to your client must be exactly as they approved it, or exactly as you have designed it on screen. The most important part of design is printing your design and…

Since the middle of February, I have been doing my internship at Valley Forge Casino Resort. I am considered a Marketing Rep. Intern and I work with customers all day. Valley Forge is very high on customer service and we believe that the customer MUST leave satisfied. Being a casino, it is our main goal to make sure our customers come back. We cannot let them leave unhappy because that represents bad customer service. I have now been at Valley Forge Casino Resort for nearly 3 months and I am gaining a full understanding of how things work. I am…

Hello fellow bloggers, Shannon Smith here reporting to you live from the internship desk at 93.3 WMMR radio station, over the course of the Spring semester I have been interning for Kelly Wilson sales associate at WMMR radio. I am currently a Junior at Temple University majoring in Advertising. Prior to this amazing internship opportunity I was very confused on which track I felt would be best for me, after working for several weeks as an intern and getting hands on experience working with their account managers I finally feel like I have found my home in the advertising world,…

The idea that I will be walking in graduation in less then a week still blows my mind, I truly feel like I just started college yesterday…now I’m searching for a job!? Although, being a transfer student I only had three short semesters at Temple and have learned so much! To all “Ad” majors with a few semesters left I have a few valuable lessons to pass on. One: Take advantage of your time at Temple. Go to teacher’s office hours, get to know them! Your teachers can truly be the most valuable connections you have  leaving Temple. Get involved with Temple in…

Before starting my internship at Magic Hat Brewing Company I had no idea what I was in for. I guess I imagined my days to be monotonous and filled with busy work, like every other intern. But this internship couldn’t be farther from a boring day to day job. As the Philadelphia Magic Hat Merry Prankster I have a lot of responsibility and basically am given the support and tools needed to run my own Merry Prankster program for my area. I work with our wholesalers to build a relationship between bar owners and Magic Hat. When starting my internship my first…

My name is Dallim Kim and I am a marketing intern at Rossi Wellness Center. Rossi Center is a small medical practice, obviously not an advertising agency. Since I have some experience on the client side,  I am curious as to what it is like to work in an agency. I always hear that working in an agency is stressful and really fast paced, but on the client side it is a bit more relaxed and not so chaotic. I think I am looking for something in between but I don’t know if that exists.   I did a little research and…

Now that my time with 102.9 WMGK is coming to an end, I can now reflect on what my internship with Philly’s classic rock station has taught me. Working for WMGK has been a blast! Over this past semester, I have learned so much more about the advertising industry and the world of radio than I have ever thought possible. Before I started my internship I had little to no interest in pursuing a career within the radio industry. Like most people, I assumed that radio was a dying art especially with the younger audience. Before my internship I assumed…

Hey guys, It’s Stan again back with another blog about my experience at Realtime Media. Creativity, brainstorming, debates, and influence are just some things that I feel surrounds the advertising industry. The understanding that the survival of any agency is maintaining a certain number of accounts to remain stable. In order to remain stable you need to ensure that your agency is innovative. I have a seat in on creative briefs, many brainstorming sessions, as well as organized presentations for pitches to big clients during my time at Realtime Media. I must say that a lot of time and teamwork…

During my interview for Fox Chase Cancer Center one of my interviewers asked if I had ever designed a webpage. I told her I hadn’t but would use the resources available to me to help me redesign their existing page. These resources have come in the form of professors, classmates, and Google. They have been incredible tools. My supervisor, Cheryl, has been very encouraging and excellent at providing feedback on my mock-ups. This experience has helped me grow as a designer and challenged me. Overcoming these challenges has given me confidence. One thing that has slightly tarnished said confidence, however,…

The majority of interns employed by the Office of Health Communications and Health Disparities (OHCHD) at Fox Chase Cancer Center are Public Health majors. I am pretty sure most of the people in the office are under the impression that I’m a Public Health major who happens to work in Adobe Suite a lot. This is okay with me because it has allowed me to learn about a new field I would have never been exposed to. The OHCHD has taught me extensively about each department and their role in the organization. The meetings on health literacy and clinical trials…

I am approaching the end of my internship at Clarisse Inc. I’m going to miss the staff here; we’ve all developed a very fast paced easy-going environment in the office and everything has just started to become customary. Although prom season is winding down, the office is still pretty busy. I feel bad that my internship ends when things are really hectic but I’m doing whatever I can to help get tasks done and out of the way. I can really see how my experience has flourished by looking at the tasks I used to have difficulty understanding and completing…

I’ve been interning at HighPoint Solutions for the past 4 months, which is located in East Norriton. HighPoint Solutions is an IT Consulting company who work closely with HealthCare and Life Sciences businesses. They offer a variety of services from Cloud systems, advisory services, outsourcing, content management, and etc. This has been an amazing experience and I truly enjoy coming into the office everyday. When I first started to study advertising I imagined myself working at a small advertising firm in the city, and working here as opened my eyes to all of the different marketing/advertising opportunities. These past 4…
