For my first blog post, I decided not to write the usual “How I got this sweet internship” and “I’m having fun and I learned a lot” entry. Of course, if you are having fun and learning a lot from your gig, I applaud you, because I am too. But for this, I wanted a bigger theme to write about. I wanted to share something – something hopefully with value to help you out there in the cold, cruel world. This, I believe is an important ability that will not only help you in advertising but anything else you do…

I have been an intern at PHL since January and I have enjoyed my time there. Though I had a slow start due to the weather, I have been involved with a vast amount of research, have learn how certain people do make-goods, watch a newscaster host an event, and meet great and kind people who are so willing to help. I am a Sales intern under Jeff Finken and there is more than enough to do but you do have to find it.  When he is busy or I have finished my work I go and ask the other…

Okay, so I know the title may sound misleading and you may think I am a news reporter but I actually have a better position and that’s being a sales intern at CBS 3! After applying to thousands of positions relating to sales and marketing at various companies, I was luckily chosen by CBS 3 to be a part of their team as an intern for the Spring semester. Being an intern at a television station has given me a deeper look into what goes on behind the scenes of a station and discovering the many departments that maintain the…

I am about two months in to my internship at 4wholeness.com, a website for women with breast cancer who are looking for different treatment options as well as support. It’s kind of an off the beat and path internship. My major is Advertising and I am in the creative track. At first, I thought this internship wouldn’t teach me very much. But it has really helped me develop my web and social media skills. In many of my classes we work mostly on print options or just do mock ups of online advertising. But in my internship I am able…

This semester, I received an opportunity to intern at Factory PR in NYC.  As an advertising major here at Temple University, I went into this internship knowing very little about PR.  Through this internship, I am learning more ins and outs about the PR business and I am starting to enjoy my time here.  Although it is a tough business (YES! NYC is all about being fast paced) but I so far love it and is thinking about PR as my future career! My initial thought going into this internship was ‘I want to get to know fashion industry more.’ …

Hi there my name is Katherine Caceres and I have started interning at the World Affairs Council in Center City Philadelphia. I have only been an intern for a couple of weeks now but  I really enjoy going into the office. I found this wonderful internship via the portal that the Fox School of Business has provided its students. Interning for the World Affairs Council has taught me a lot of responsibility. It has somewhat taught me what the real world will be like. I have to act professionally and dress the part as well. It has taught me also…

Today was the last day that I interned for Allied-THA and my supervisor Chris Sammon. Throughout this internship I have been fortunate enough to learn many skills that I will use in my future profession. I’ve learned research tips, created contact lists, managed the company billing, purchased radio spots, and made some new friends. This internship was an amazing experience, and I’m glad I decided to do it instead of DEC. I really feel like I am more prepared for what I will be experiencing in only a few weeks. Although I won’t receive a job from this internship, due…

Going into this internship, I was excited. I really wanted to explore the world of sales and I was very eager to learn. However, things changed and it turned out that, B101 would be needing a general intern and not a sales intern. I was a little bummed out at first because I really wanted to be in the sales department learning the ropes, however I soon realized that wasn’t going to make much of a difference because everything at the station revolves around the sales department. Every task, every event, every new idea was thought out and brought about…

It’s a question I’ve heard once or twice before. After touring the agency in spring of my freshman year, I knew it was somewhere I wanted to be. And I didn’t hesitate to let people know. I’m Rachael Silverstein, by the way—a word-loving ad major/English minor in her senior year. And I’m currently a copywriting intern at Red Tettemer O’Connell + Partners. Landing the gig was somewhat of a crazy whirlwind. Despite being as obsessed with the agency as I was, it took three years and a semester abroad in Australia to really do anything about it. My favorite Aussie professor…
