The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
Being my first internship in the advertising world, there were some basic things that I had figured I would learn at LevLane. I knew going into this internship that I would probably see a whole new side of advertising that learning in the classroom just couldn’t possibly show; I was…
I came into college with the belief that I was absolutely certain advertising was the career I wanted to pursue. As my college career continued, I found myself enjoying my advertising classes and being even more certain that I had found the right major for me. Because I wanted to be…
When I tell people I am a strategy intern I get a lot of confused responses. “Strategy” is a buzzword in the communications industry that can mean many different things. Not many people understand how vital good strategic planning is to creating good advertising. Because of this confusion I thought…
I’ve spent much of my free time at college agonizing over The Big Decision—or more specifically, what I want to do for the rest of my life. They tell you time and time again that that’s what college is all about, so the longer I spent at Temple without making…
In the beginning of January I had the opportunity to start an advertising/social media internship with a small jewelry company named Wild Lilies Jewelry (WLJ). This was not an agency nor a large company for that matter, but the learning experience was greater than anything for which I could have…
Working in an agency environment provides a lot of perks. There are social outings, wellness seminars, and social interactions with different agencies and professionals.

I currently work at Temple Small Business Development Center as a Creative Consultant, which means I create business cards, brochures, etc. for clients. The client I am currently working has really changed my perspective on some of my work. Upon meeting with her she requested a simple logo – she…
I am a copywriter at Temple, but I am not sure where that is going to take me. Don’t get me wrong I love advertising, I really do, but I don’t really see myself at an agency, although I would be open to taking a job if one offered. My…
Working at Inspire as a creative design intern has been quite an interesting time. It gets even more interesting when the company you work for is very small, having only a dozen or so coworkers. At first, it felt as if my experience might be limited. I was worried there wouldn’t…
Most fellow students I have come across took an internship in a traditional ad agency, or marketing company that would naturally progress into either a job, or teaching the tools in order to land one. I, however, decided to intern at a tattoo shop, entitled Lost Soul Tattoo. This presented…
