An entirely new redesign and reconcepting for the Temple Ad Dept\'s brochure magazine. A theme has been added: sports and teamwork is the analogy that most advertising students can relate to the most.

4. A Word to the Recruits
Advertising caught your eye? Think you have what it takes to come up
with the next Energizer Bunny or scribble down a billion dollar swoosh?
Well then you picked up the right magazine. We hope this gives you a
glimpse of all the excitement the Temple Ad Department has to offer
while answering any questions you may have.
Temple hosts one of the fastest growing Ad programs in the nation,
and is home to some of the most experienced faculty. We’re a tight
knit group. Professors and students interact like colleagues, sharing
ideas and experiences. Have a question about portfolios? Internships?
The Phillies? Nothing’s out of bounds. They’re our coaches and friends
from start to finish.
Our professors see our full potential and provide us a hands-on
learning environment to succeed. But they aren’t the only ones who
teach us; we learn from each other. We learn how to do more than just
deal with our differences. We learn how to maximize them and become
our own unique brands. We work together to achieve the same result:
Innovative advertisements and strategies.
The classroom isn’t the only place we gain experience. This city is ripe
with internship opportunities. That’s real world work! Learn, network,
and maybe you’ll even keep that job after school. There’s also Diamond
Edge Communications, or DEC as we call it. This is one of the few Student-
Run Ad Agencies in the country, and it’s right here on Temple’s campus!
DEC is where upper level Ad students come together to work for real
clients. A place to gain real life experience on the track you’re pursuing.
So join the team. Take charge and let your creations unfold. No matter
what track you choose, we look forward to working with you.

5. Our Coaches
Dr. Michael Maynard
Dr. Maynard has long been suspected of irrational exuberance.
So they made him the Chair. His first job in advertising was
writing copy for Japan Airlines in Tokyo. Then, Maytag at
Leo Burnett in Chicago, followed by McDonald’s in Honolulu,
and Colgate, Kan Kan, and Avis at Ted Bates Advertising, in
New York City. Dr. Maynard holds a BA in English Lit. from the
University of Texas at Austin, a Masters in Dramatic Arts
from the University of Iowa, and a Ph.D in Communications
from Rutgers University. He has written over thirty journal
articles, for example “Unclaimed Bananas: The Significance of
Devalued Food in a Public Space.” He has presented close to a
ka-zillion papers, for example “Joe Camel Goes to Japan.” His
advice to budding young writers, “Parenthetical expressions
should be used sparingly (if you know what I mean).”
Gayle Conley
Gayle is more than the most frequent name in Ad
students’ inboxes. She is the Advertising Office Administra-
tor, a bridge between the faculty and students. Working hand
in hand with our chairman, Dr. Maynard, Gayle helps students
move in the right direction. Whether she’s placing you in the
right class or keeping everyone updated on scholarship and
career opportunities, she’s always excited to help. And she
doesn’t ask for much in return. When asked how students
can thank her she simply says, “find me and give me a hug as
you walk down the aisle at graduation.”

6. William Donnelly
As an Associate Professor of the Advertising Department,
Professor Donnelly has no shortage of accomplishments
from which to discuss. He has worked in virtually every me-
dium for mass communications, television, radio, maga-
zine, film, and newspaper. Professor Donnelly has already
published one book, Confetti Generation and is currently
working on his second.
Dr.James Marra
As Full time Professor in Temple’s Advertising Department,
Professor Marra has been an integral member of the de-
partment’s faculty for twenty years. He has received nu-
merous teaching awards, has authored, co-authored or ed-
ited nine books, and has authored and presented numerous
papers at a range of academic conferences. He is co-found-
er of the Journal of Advertising Education and oversees Di-
amond Edge Communications, Temple’s own Student-Run
advertising agency.
Jennifer Lovrinic
Jennifer began her career in promotions as Director of Mar-
keting for the Denver firm Brown & Tedstrom. She came to
Philadelphia to polish her advertising research and planning
skills as Director of Brand Research & Analysis at Kanter
International. Now at Temple, Jennifer is proud and deter-
mined to translate her understanding of advertising and
research into valuable classroom learning. “By using real life
case studies and experiences, I hope my students will learn
how critical research is to all facets of advertising – from
strategy to creative execution to delivery.”
4

7. Dr. Jin Seong Park
After receiving his Ph.D in Mass Communications from the
University of Florida, Dr. Park felt that Temple’s Ad Dept. was
the perfect fit for him. He is excited to be able to share
his enthusiasm and passion for advertising research with
devoted students. He encourages students to explore ad-
vertising in a much broader context than persuasive com-
munication. Dr. Park’s favorite piece of inspiration comes
from Leo Burnett, “When you reach for the stars you may
not quite get one, but you won’t come up with a handful of
mud either.”
Dana Saewitz
Dana Saewitz spent over fifteen years in the advertising
business before coming to Temple to teach in the Depart-
ment of Advertising. Dana teaches Media & Society and In-
troduction to Advertising. She also coordinates Temple’s
thriving advertising internship program. Temple has over
twenty students per semester working as interns in ad
agencies, media planning firms, research companies, radio
stations, television networks, and various other marketing
related businesses.
Bob Olson
Bob Olson brings over forty years of copywriting experi-
ence into the classroom, teaching introductory and ad-
vanced copywriting. Twenty-five years at Reader’s Digest
writing “everything for every media,” plus numerous con-
sulting and free-lance assignments throughtout the world
have honed his skills. His method of teaching is “hands on,”
because that’s the way he learned how to write. Bob is also
faculty advisor to The Ad Club.

8. Sheryl Kantrowitz
From Philadelphia to New York and back again. Sheryl’s worked
in big agencies like Saatchi & Saatchi and small ones like TONIQ.
Sheryl returned to Philly to head up Temple’s Art Direction
track. Students can also find her teaching Interactive Media
courses and maintaining the Ad Department’s website. She
still freelances on the side and is an excellent source of
information for students wondering what to expect after
graduation.
Temple Ad Department Adjuncts
Advertising’s a fast paced industry. Trends sparkle and die.
That’s why we’re always bringing in new blood. Our adjuncts
are professionals straight from the field, armed with top
notch advertising knowledge. Experienced and successful.
Who better to teach students what agencies look for in a
portfolio than someone who looks at them every day?
These professors are on top of their game. They know the
current trends before they’re printed in books. They have
contacts you can’t find in a glossary. They possess all the
tools vital to your success. More than a teacher, they’re a
colleague, a future boss, or maybe even a friend. Whoever
they may be, they’re the helping hand to starting your life.

9. Our Teammates
David Humes (Copywriter)
“The Ad Department is the best way for me to express my creativity.”
Tenora Rogers (Art Director)
“The Ad Department gives me a lot of opportunities to practice my craft. After learning layouts
and Adobe Creative Suite applications, I feel ready to tackle any task. While in DEC, working on two
different accounts helped me to develop and utilize everything I’ve learned in the classroom. It gave
me the confidence that I can do this, and am ready for the future.”
Amanda Valentino (Copywriter)
“The Ad Department at Temple University constantly creates opportunities for its students and
prepares us for work in the professional advertising world. With the help of devoted professors and
a positive working environment, I’ve grown to love advertising copywriting. I am confident that I have
attained the skills that may qualify me for a job over students that attended a different university.”
Rebecca Kleiner (Research)
“The research track in the Ad Department is a small but fun department led by Jennifer Lovrinic and
other great faculty members. Not only do they teach us to conduct research through primary and
secondary sources, but how to properly apply it to the advertising world. We’re taught by the book,
but our work is all hands on. Almost every project is presented in a professional yet casual way, and
it gives us the confidence to step up to any agency or research department.”
Matthew Veleber (Account Manager)
“The Ad Department’s given me so many unique opportunities. Having a leadership role in a student-
run agency is more than a privilege, it is a responsibility that prepares you for the working world.
Interaction between clients and peers builds character and confidence that can go a long way to
ensure success in the business. Being an account manager has extended my knowledge of advertising
and I am now a lot more prepared to move forward after graduation.”

10. Seasoned Vets
Meghan Peiffer - Mullen
Meghan is a New Business Development Coordinator working at Mullen in Wenham,
MA.
“As a Temple alum, I find myself missing the halls of Annenberg and all that I learned
within them. Tough courses seemed quite stressful at the time, but I’ve learned that
they only made me work harder to achieve what I set out to do. DEC and the the
never ending Levi’s campaign were great learning experiences, and I’m happy I was
able to be a part of them. After graduating, i took with me a better understanding of
the advertising industry, and know that hardwork and persistance can pay off.”
Christine Parsons - Mindshare
She is currently working at Mindshare in NYC.
“I wouldn’t have gotten here without my good start in advertising at Temple!”
Jarett Fienman - Mindshare
“Temple’s advertising curriculum has given me knowledge to excel in my career in
the Media Industry as a Media Planner at Mindshare. Due to the courses required
to take in the Account Management track, my knowledge for basic media terms,
media math, and strategic planning has definitely given me the advantage amongst
others in the entry level job market. Temple’s advertising curriculum has enabled
me to contribute to my media planning team immediately, while others might have
required on-the-job training.”
Leanne Perzel - Ogilvy and Mather
“I believe that my Temple classes and professors gave me the tools to acheive my
goals - to be where I am today. But, no one can teach you initiative. No one can force
you to take a chance or to stay motivated when you’re down and out. That you
must learn to do on your own. It can’t be found in any textbook. My favorite profes-
sors were the ones who explained this to me. Who treated me like a colleague, and
not a kid. The best teachers are those who see a talent in you that you’ve missed
and who help you discover, develop, and master that gift.”

11. Game-Time Report
What is advertising?
Advertising is any form of paid communication. It’s persuasive, creative and
informative. When done right, it creates images and feelings for a brand while
shaping attitudes for a target audience to justify their buying habits. At the
end of the day, advertising is all about selling the brand.
How do I know which area to specialize in?
You’re not alone. Most incoming students aren’t sure what they want to do
yet. Our program is designed to help you find your own area of interest. We
offer a variety of classes in Copywriting, Media Planning, Art Direction, and
Account Management for students to test the waters before completely div-
ing in. After all, that’s what college is all about: developing your skills that will
shape your future.
Where is the Advertising Department located?
The Advertising Department is located on the 3rd floor of Annenberg Hall.

for you. We also offer the opportunity to participate in Temple’s very own
student-run advertising agency, Diamond Edge Communications.

18. Road Trip
On March 20th Dr. Marra led a group of Temple Advertising Students into
the heart of NYC to tour one of the most respectable advertising agencies
worldwide, Ogilvy& Mather.
The students were given a captivating presentation by David Fowler, a
former graduate and student of Dr. Marra, that touched on some of the
recent work O&M had done (most notably the Dove real beauty campaign).
Fowler along with some of his creative team delved into the heart of the
Dove campaign and how it fit into the future of the advertising world.
After the presentation Dr. Marra’s Copywriting class took the opportunity
to hand deliver a gift they created. the class produced an ad that they
believed represented Temple Advertising as a whole and its ability to think
like the late great mind of David Ogilvy himself. The day concluded with a
tour of the building and all of its departments, during which the students
had the opportunity to see what a fully-functional ad agency looks, and
most importantly feels like.
