Great people, work was interesting, lots of exposure and experience, ability to network
What I wish was different
Interns don't get desks, wish that was different because it's hard trying to be productive when constantly worrying about seating arrangement
Advice
Ask a lot of questions and be patient. The work fluctuates between being busy and not busy and managing your time is very important.

Programmatic Media
April - September 2019 • Philadelphia, PA
What I liked
I absolutely loved the company. It is composed of young professionals who are all deeply motivated - especially my programmatic team. I have always been a hard worker with a stong work ethic, but working here in programmatic trading made me an even stronger employee. I learned so much. It was my favorite of 3 Drexel 6-month co-ops.
What I wish was different
Employee happiness was high at the agency, but people tended to leave because of low/average pay.
Advice
Always ask questions. Feed off of the energy from others and yours will grow as well. Stay hungry and innovative.

Business Intelligence Intern
June - August 2019 • Philadelphia, PA
What I liked
I loved the company culture; we were encouraged to be ourselves and ask questions. My team did a great job of training and getting me hands on experience.
What I wish was different
I wish that during on-boarding there was more of an introduction to the client I was working on. I had to do my own background research and I think that a few sessions about the client from Publicis's perspective could have been very beneficial.
Advice
My advice is to try to learn as much as possible about the company. There are so many different teams and roles within Publicis, and those teams are constantly working together. Getting a good grasp of the company's orientation and functions will give you a leg up.

Programmatic Media Intern
June - August 2019 • Philadelphia, PA
What I liked
The Publicis Health Internship Program does a fantastic job by allowing you to gain real-world experience in an agency, and work collaboratively across departments and agencies on an internship project. Expect real client work and to be treated as a valued member of the team. PHM is a vibrant, young company with passionate people.

Advice
Let your curiosity be your guide. Reach out to other roles within Publicis Health, and take the time to connect with people. Prove to yourself and others that you’re meant to be there and show you care - it’s what sets you apart.

Media Planning Intern
June - August 2019 • Chicago, IL
What I liked
I loved learning the pharmaceutical side of communications and how PR and advertising work together. I had a great team that made sure I was helping on real tasks. There was also a intern competition where we had to create a full advertising campaign for a nonprofit client, which was really cool.
What I wish was different
I wish I had more time there to see all the projects I was working on all the way through.
Advice
Be open to exploring departments that you may not necessarily be familiar with, and communicate with the other interns to learn what they're doing and how you can learn from each other.
