Today happens to be my last day at 97.5 The Fanatic! I am so thankful for the opportunity to work at such a great radio station. Over the past semester I have been asked to pull air checks, write radio copy, create proposals, (lots of proposals) assist account managers with prospecting, develop ideas for promotions, go on sales calls, and a plethora of other things! This experience has taught me the ins and outs of radio sales. It has taught me that taking the extra few seconds to customize a proposal can make all the difference. The folks at 97.5…

I am a social media coordinator intern for Clarisse Inc (Promgirl.net) and I am really enjoying my experience there. I have learned a lot since I started months ago.  I learned how to use Hootsuite, which is a program available online that allows people to manage all social media accounts at the same time. This program is the company’s choice for scheduling and managing all their posts on their social media outlets. I have become so familiar with this program because I use it everyday I’m in the office. Also, I have discovered a lot of different photo-editing websites where…

Being a part of a young, expanding company means a lot of things. It means that if and when it grows, you get to grow with it and be a valuable part of the team. It also means the environment would typically lend itself to a more relaxed, casual atmosphere. This was one of my favorite parts about working at Rossi. While I am very serious about my work and never procrastinate on the job, I’ve always been slightly intimidated and unsettled by that “corporate” atmosphere. The 9-5 job, where you have to punch in every morning and everyone is…

My internship is almost over for the Spring 2014 semester and I am sorry to see it end. I have gained so much that I can use not only use for future jobs and internships but daily life. I have met interesting and successful people and they have all shown me a work place that productively works together to make a TV station or any company successful. I would recommend this internship to a student in any major. I say any major because there is various functions that are needed to make a TV station function. There are sales, creative…

I am currently a spring semester intern for O3 World, an interactive agency of around 20 people in the Fishtown neighborhood. O3 specializes in brand experiences through websites, digital products, and applications. This is not my first internship, as I had previously interned for a major health insurance corporation over the summer. At this internship I was working in the Marketing department and in a very corporate, professional setting. Coming to O3 I was excited to get a new experience in a smaller, agency setting. O3 has been the perfect place to get this new experience. With a small number…

My dear advertising colleagues, I can only hope that this semester has brought you as much sweat, blood, and tears as it has to me. My name is Hillary Redisch, I am an Advertising Account Manager major about 3 weeks away from graduating, and I’m scared as hell. I’m scared in the best possible way because there is so much to explore and do in the world. I’m allowed to say that because after three internships my experience has taught me there is much more than what we just do in the classroom. This Spring semester I was  able to…

As this semester is coming to a close, I am now walking the plank of this part-time job at Tierney. It’s all coming to an end and I will need a stable full time position to regulate my life in the “real” world. I’ve learned some incredible things at Tierney and had the pleasure to work with some of the best people in the industry. It can be a tough world out there, but I’m sure everything I’ve learned and accomplished here will serve me well in the future. And here is one of the greatest things I’ve learned: Nothing…

Hey Everyone! My name is Kaitlyn Dychala and I am interning at 97.5 The Fanatic.

I have about a month left at my internship with Harmelin Media. I can’t believe I have been there since January. Looking back now, I was really scared when I first started. It was a lot of information at one time and I felt like I was disappointing my internship advisor because some assignments were clicking as quickly as I hoped they would. I think this was my biggest struggle was with Harmelin. I had to put my self in unfamiliar grounds in order to succeed. Getting used to the software, a new work environment and a new group of…

It has been about 2 and half months since I have been interning at Factory PR. To start out, I thought I would hate the commute.  Surprisingly, Megabus is quite comfortable and I catch up with my sleep so that is the least of my concerns.  My usual routine is when I arrive, I do check ins, merchandise the men’s showroom and get a list of stuff to finish by the end of the day by my supervisor.  I really like that I get to see new lines of clothes from our clients before anyone else can.  So far, I…
