A Student-Run Ad Agency

Diamond Edge Communications LOGO

Temple University's Student-Run Advertising Agency. Diamond Edge Communications, originally known as Creative Services Workshop in the mid-1980s, is a student-run ad agency aligned with an internship for junior and seniors in the advertising department in the School of Communications and Theater. One of only seven student-led ad agencies in the country, DEC provides a real-world atmosphere and hands-on experience.

 

REAL CLIENTS

We don’t make mock-up ads for professors; we produce campaigns for clients. We have real clients with real needs. Maybe you’ve heard of them. Past and present clients include:

• Alzheimer’s Association
• Corporate Call Center Inc.
• SEPTA
• Temple Ad Department
• Temple University Graduate Studies of Nursing
• The Academy of Natural Sciences
• U.S. Department of State


And they keep coming back because we make them shine.

REAL WORK

From menu layouts to full blown promotional events, we work with our clients to meet their needs. We work in a professional setting, not in a classroom. We bring copy and art together with strategy and research to produce sparkling work. Because when it’s real, it matters.

 

REAL EXPERIENCE

DEC gives you the opportunity to experience your major in real world scenarios. Copywriters write copy.  Art directors draw up layouts.  Account managers manage accounts.  It’s as simple as that. And those client meetings and actual boardroom presentations give us all a boost of confidence for our next step, the real world.
