Creating Content for the Roots Picnic

Some of the events I have attended were the Roots Picnic, Noah Kahan concert, Young the Giant, and Two Friends.

Myth vs Reality: Agency Life

Over the past few weeks working as an account management intern at 160/90, I have constantly been in conversation with my roommates, peers, colleagues, professors, parents, you name it about what the reality of working in an agency has been like. And let me tell you it isn’t quite what the myths had made it out to be. I shared a few of these observations with a professor of mine, but I felt that they were worth sharing publicly. Maybe you’re just starting your education in advertising and communications or maybe you’re well into it, but I am certain we…

The Flavorful world of The Morris Restaurant’s Internship

Hello everyone, my name is Tiana Bunch; I recently graduated from Temple University with a B.A. in Advertising with a concentration in Copywriting. Today I am excited to share my experience as an intern at the marvelous and historic Morris Restaurant. I have the privilege of learning about the restaurant industry.

It’s Not Just An Instagram Post

Over the past month, I have been interning at Red Tettemer O’Connell + Partners, an advertising agency in Philadelphia. The reason I chose to work here is because of their Wake and Make Studio, RTOP’s in-house production studio and team who work tirelessly to create exciting, cultivating media for clients. So far, this internship has been a dream. I have been able to have hands-on experience creating Instagram posts, Reels, and even commercials. The team has been extremely welcoming and has thrown me into every project they can. I thought I knew the ins and outs of advertising agencies because…

A journey of self through professionalism

Hello Owls! As a sophomore advertising student with a concentration in media planning, I spent loads of time looking for an internship that would be meaningful for the career that I desire to pursue. I landed a summer internship at MayoSeitz Media located in Conshohocken, PA. Going into this internship, I feared that I lacked knowledge in this field as I am only a sophomore, but as time goes by I understand that this internship is one massive learning experience and lacking expertise is part of being a student. The people working at this agency are what make it so…

Elevated Blood Pressure & Elevated Work

From the moment I toured the 160/90 office back in December of 2022 I knew I wanted to work in this space one day. The open concept office, the gorgeous city views, and the lively office community entranced me from the minute I walked through the door. Little did I know, I would have the opportunity to work there sooner than I thought. When I found out that 160/90 was offering an account management position for the summer of 2023, I jumped at it immediately. The company culture I had experienced in one day was enough for me to know…

Navigating Work-Life Balance During Your Design Internship

One thing that has become apparent to me over the course of the first five weeks of my internship is how important the work-life balance is there. I’m interning at Ceisler Media & Issue Advocacy this summer as their digital & creative intern. I’m the first person to intern as a part of the digital & creative team here at Ceisler. They’ve always had more general interns that complete a variety of different types of work and tasks but never one on the digital team, so it’s very exciting for me to be the first. Going into this internship, I…

Peer to Peer Networking

As a double major in Media Studies and Production and Advertising I wanted to find an internship that could effectively blend together both of these skills. In the fall, I had been camera operating live sports games for Temple University as part of their sports production crew. I had asked around the network of college and questioned if there was a different role I could take on to use my graphic design abilities. My director at the time informed me of Temple’s creative marketing team that fused both advertising and media together. I sent an email with my attached portfolio…

PINE Philly & Me

Hey everyone. My name is Chase Ulle and I am a final year advertising student in the art direction concentration. For as long as I can remember, I have always been drawn to anything with “good design”. So naturally, the more I grew into myself, I fell deeper into the rabbit hole of the design world. I never really had a very clear idea of what I wanted to do, I just knew that I wanted to be around design. From a beautiful art nouveau doorframe, to a well-designed typeface, or even just a simple coffee table, I often find…

My Experience at SEOM Interactive

Hello everyone! My name is Aleena Mathew, and I’m a junior Advertising major minoring in Digital Marketing. Since January 2023, I have been interning with SEOM Interactive.

Prior to this major, I was a Communications major, and before that I was in Health Professions for three semesters. I was notorious for being indecisive in what I wanted to do because I had so…

A Crossroads of Dance and Design: My Internship at The Rock School

Hi everyone, my name is Sophia Comport and I’m a junior advertising major in the art direction concentration at Temple. I have been working at my internship at The Rock School for Dance here in Philly since September of last year, but I got a more consistent weekly schedule this semester. The Rock School is a pre-professional level ballet school that I was a student at for 14 years and have since graduated from, so it was nostalgic yet new for me to come back as an intern to work on their marketing team. My internship has been hybrid starting…
