This summer, I am participating in an internship program with CBS/ CW Philly.  Although I am assigned to the Sales Department, I can still spend time in other departments to learn more about how each one contributes to the television station.  As an intern, I have to take the initiative to ask questions or if there is a project that I can complete, otherwise I am left without any work.  So far, I have spoken with employees from the Traffic, News, Creative Services, Business, Public Affairs, and Research Departments, in addition to the national and local sales offices.  I am…

As my internship with Colle` Products is coming to an end, I am ready to take everything I have learned over the past six weeks with me, as new opportunities arise. My responsibilities with Colle` Products include maintaining social connections with other companies and the community through Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Colle` Products has also helped me improve my communication skills through e-mail and the telephone, as well as the opportunity to gain experience in a professional office and learn what its like to engage with others that share the same interests as myself. I also conduct research regarding upcoming…

On Thursday night, I had the pleasure of seeing all of our hard work at the Chamber come to life. The PennSuburban Chamber of Commerce held their Annual Dinner & Awards Celebration at PineCrest Country Club in Lansdale. This year’s ceremony happened to fall upon the Chamber’s 100 year anniversary. In celebration of the centennial event, the Chamber presented Lansdale School of Business with the Business of the Century award. Lansdale School of Business is the longest standing member of the Chamber, contributing 95 years of service to the community. In addition to this once-in-a-lifetime award, seven others individuals and…

My name is Karly O’Toole, I have been interning for Vizion Group in Berwyn PA working with two non-profit organizations.  I also have two other jobs so I have been spreading my time out trying to get everything in.  The experience thus far has been interesting!  Working for a nonprofit organization causes a lot of stress and a lot of work.  So far I have learned many different things, one being that you cannot fall behind in work!  Since there are so many different events that go into this organization there are a million different letters, phone calls, organizing, excel…

Luke Sullivan, veteran copywriter and author of Hey Whipple Squeeze This: The Classic Guide to Creating Great Ads, states on his blog, “100% of everything you create in this business will be second-guessed and 95% of it will die.” Well, I recently took part in meetings where a first piece of copy in a campaign written by a team of copywriters from an affiliated insurance company took that same exact route: the piece was second-guessed, and completely died. This didn’t happen throughout a typical series of agency/client meetings either. This happened during a series of new partnership meetings between two…

In the beginning of my work week I was asked to do a media kit for one of the employees at Skai Blue Media. I didn’t know much when it came to making a media kit and really what it entailed but after a few searches and talking one on one with my supervisor I became a media kit pro. Basically this kit was a visual way to show her clients who she is working with under Skai Blue Show. I had to showcase four different clients where on each individual page I put about them, their press mentions, social…

Unforunately, my internship at Townsquare Media-AC is coming to an end. I enjoyed my sales internship for the five radio stations and am sad say goodbye to my cubicle and my fun friends. It was fantastic to be surrounded by fun and intelligent people here at Townsquare Media. I had the opportunity to work on a successful team and add valuable contributions. I worked on things like excel spreadsheets, proofreading, binding presentations together, and researching clients. I even got to ride around with the Sales Manager making sales! I feel like I got a real glimpse into the way the…

I love my internship so much!  I’m a current intern at college living magazine.  It’s a great opportunity for me being an advertising major because I’m doing so many hands on things.  I’ve basically been put in charge for the art direction portion of the business.  This includes designing business cards, editing contracts and media kits, designing and posting various coupons to the main website, and a bunch of other things too!  This internship has given me the chance to learn about the work of a real art director versus just being an intern, and I think that it’s awesome.…

The things I have learned I will remember for the rest of my working life, such as: 1. Save all your work… in more than one place. I learned to back up my work after losing everything I had done in my first 15 hours spent at…

 I love going to college in Philadelphia so what better place to intern than at Campus Philly? Campus Philly is a non-profit organization that encourages college students to study, explore, live and work in the Greater Philadelphia tri-state region. (Check out their website here!). You can learn about Philly events, find out about internships and jobs, and much more. As the design intern I have been working closely with the creative manager on all sorts of projects. I helped redesign and update the style guide, designed new info graphics, and worked in Dreamweaver to edit code for the website. It…
