Philly AD Club’s Job Genius Bars, A Must Go!

Do you need an internship? Do you want a job? Or, do you want to do some exploring?

Attend Philly AD Club’s Job Genius Bars, an event that gives college students a chance to participate in interactive sessions, hear job searching tips, talk to “geniuses” in the industry, and gain more knowledge on how to be one step closer to their dream career.

Challenges

As we’re nearing the end of the semester, the HS Advertising Workshop is starting to get a little more challenging. The students are as great as ever, but one of the biggest challenges that we have experienced is keeping the students committed to the program. During the first two weeks of the program we had between ten and twenty students showing up, but as the weeks went on, the attendance started to plateau. Now we are at about ten students participating regularly.

First Day at Palumbo

We prepared for weeks before going in to the classroom but I don’t think that any amount of preparation could have prepared us for what we experienced that very first day of High School Advertising Workshop at The Academy at Palumbo. Those students exceeded all of our expectations.

The Philly Ad Club is hosting a free event for students and young professionals about the ins and outs of networking. (To learn more about the Philly Ad Club click here to visit their website.) Did you know that networking is the “hidden” job market? Over 60% of jobs are filled before they are even posted because of referrals and networking. Don’t miss out on these opportunities because you don’t know how to network effectively.

Philly Ad Club Agency Crawl 2011

[ Submitted by Dani Masi, Advertising Copywriting Student :: tub49931@temple.edu ]

What better way to spend a rainy Friday afternoon then visiting Philadelphia ad agencies?

Friday was the annual Philly Ad Club Agency Crawl. 50 students from universities and colleges across the Philadelphia region gathered to “crawl” from ad agency to ad agency in Center City, touring their facilities and seeing reels of their work. This was my second year as a “crawl” participant, and I was looking forward to the event for weeks.

"Philly's Future" Scholarship Winner From Temple

We’d like to offer our congratulations to Mr. Jason Kaminsky for being a “Philly’s Future” scholarship winner. Here’s Jason’s take on what advertising means to him. I can definitely relate to what he’s saying. I started out graphic designing also, but I’d like to remain a “creative.” I’m not sure if creatives have a need for jackets and ties, but I’d be all for it.

Why should YOU be a TAC member? What does it have to offer?

Hi everybody! This week I got an inside perspective on what it’s like to be a member of TAC, and learned about some of the great things they do. Since I am not in TAC, I thought it would be helpful not only for myself, but for other students, to see what opportunities the organization has to offer. I conducted an interview with Lindsay Gallagher, age 23, and she had a very helpful and interesting perspective on this topic.

Philly Ad Club Media Crawl Feb. 2010

I attended the Philly Ad Club Media Crawl. Philly Ad Club hosts many of these ‘Crawls’ reaching out to companies specifically in Philadelphia. During this event we visited Philadelphia Business Journal, CBS Radio, KYW Radio, and Fox 29. This was a great experience to gain knowledge in this specific industry. As a college student looking for internships and job opportunities each company provided helpful information on how to apply, and specific things that they look for. Here are some YouTube clips from the employees who spoke to us.
