The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
Over the past few months, I have been interning at Harmelin Media for the Spring 2015 semester. Harmelin Media is a media planning/buying agency in the greater Philadelphia region and one of the largest in the entire country. When I first got the e-mail that I would be interning at…
The end of the semester is a challenging time. Papers are due, back-to-back group meetings are scheduled and the thought of final exams hang over your head. As if this wasn’t enough, you also have to apply and prepare for a summer internship! Although finishing the semester strong is important,…
