Corporate
Partners: Situated in a top ten advertising and media market, the Temerlin
Advertising Institute is next door to dozens of national and global corporations.
This allows the Institute to offer its students the optimal blend of theory
and practical application of the advertising discipline. They work for real
clients and have the opportunity to further hone their skills through internships
with companies in the area.
Interns
Internships offer a real-world opportunity for students to apply the principles
learned in various advertising courses at a top advertising agency, design or
media firm, branding company, or marketing and public relations organization.
Students may be placed for the fall, spring or summer terms. Through weekly,
midterm and final reports, the completion of an essay and the satisfactory accomplishment
of 50, 100 or 150 hours of work, a student may earn one, two or three academic
credit hours respectively.

Clients
In the program capstone course, Advertising Campaigns, our senior students showcase
their accumulated knowledge through an intensive practical exercise. Working
in small agency groups they vie for the new business of a client. The client
is real, in the room, and judging their performance. The problems and the budgets
are real. Students investigate, plan, develop strategies, create integrated
marketing campaigns and solve clients' advertising problems. We've worked with
American Airlines, Nokia, Rockfish, Kinko's, Hyundai, Postal Vault, Toyota Matrix,
Banc of America, and FLA USA just during the last two years.
