Meet the Interns

What's an agency without interns? Young minds keep us on our toes, we're learning just as much from them as they're learning from us. Our mix of 7 diverse and quick minds keep the day-to-day going in this agency and we always see the best from them.

So if you were to ask, yes, ours are the best.

Let's start with introductions, time to meet the Price Group Account Interns.

Audra Becker, Senior Public Relations Major from Lubbock, TX

After Graduation:

I would like to work in a PR agency in Dallas. My top three places I would like to move would be Dallas, TX; Denver, CO; Chicago, IL. I am open to any new job that will take me to one of those places. I am ready to graduate and start my life in a new city.

What I like about TPG:

The first person I met at the Price Group was Brooke Blackwell. She is always very nice and if I don’t understand something she is quick to show me how it is done. So, I would say that I like how helpful everyone is here. I never hesitate to ask questions. Being the only intern that isn’t advertising, made me nervous at first, but everyone is so welcoming and helpful.

Favorite Campaign: 

I am a PR major, so one of my favorite PR campaigns would be the “Like a Girl” Always campaign. The message that the phrase “like a girl” doesn’t have to be a negative thing is very inspiring. It gives little girls coming into their teen’s confidence to be themselves.

Hobby:

My two favorite hobbies are running and snowboarding. I ran a half marathon my senior year of high school, and I fell in love with running. It is a great way for me to clear my mind and stay in shape. I started skiing when I was four years old. Then when I turned 15 I learned how to snowboard. My family and I go skiing and snowboarding every year. It is a big part of my life. That is one of the reasons that I would like to live in Colorado.

Fun Fact:

I love the holidays! October through December is my favorite time of year. Getting to spend time with family and friends is why I love it so much. I enjoy the winter more than summer. I would play Christmas music all year if it was socially acceptable!

Marcos Palacios, Junior Advertising major & Business minor from Lubbock, TX

After Graduation: 

Aside from diving into the advertising world, after graduation I want to TRAVEL. I need to see more of the world!

What I like about TPG: 

I like that the Price Group offers you a chance to dig into everything. Do you wanna work on a project with creative? Cool. Wanna dive into accounts? Jump right in. I don’t think that’s something most agencies can offer their interns.

Favorite Campaign: 

One of my favorite ad campaigns is for Hefty Cups. The ads are full of ridiculous, slang-speaking moms. You should give them a peek.

Hobby: 

Outside of school, I really enjoy being outdoors. Camping, backpacking, hiking, you name it. I worked for the Boy Scouts of America this summer, and that’s about as outdoors as you get! 

Fun Fact: 

If I have free time, you’ll probably find me watching Grey’s Anatomy…

Sarah Bohannon, Senior Advertising major & Business minor from Houston(ish), TX

After Graduation:

Well, the hope is some sort of employment. I want to go into copywriting or social media work at an agency out of state or in Austin. I love the work environment at the Price Group and am hoping to be at an agency with the same values. Basically, just a girl looking for her next big adventure.

What I like about TPG:

The environment, this is my first internship and I wouldn’t have it anywhere else. Everyone is super welcoming and there was a Nerf gun war my first week, that’s really something you can’t beat. 

Favorite Campaign:

The Google Stories campaign is one of my all time favorites. The Parisian Love spot is one of those commercials that has stuck with me since I saw it. It’s one of those great commercials that people don’t think of as commercials, you can’t really hate it. 

Hobby:

I’ve really gotten into hiking since college so I try to get to Palo Duro or CapRock whenever I can!

Fun Fact:

In high school, my family had a pet zebra and four ostriches (I’m not even kidding) so I guess that’s pretty cool. 

Alex Mason, Senior Advertising major from McKinney, TX

After Graduation:

I want to work at an agency in Dallas for a few years then move to the Portland area! My goal is to get a job on the account side of a big agency to start, and then move to a smaller agency after I have some expirence!

What I like about TPG:

The staff is super friendly; there is always something to do, and the free food!

Favorite Campaign:

My favorite campaign would have to be the Madden video game viral videos. I think they are funny, creative, and are totally relevant to the target audience of the game.

Hobby:

Outside of school I enjoy riding my motorcycle, fishing, and playing soccer.

Fun Fact:

My favorite TV show is Sons of Anarchy!

Jeff Martinez, Senior Advertising major from the great city of Lubbock, TX

After Graduation:

I want to travel abroad for a month (specifically Spain). However, I’m not too picky as to where I would visit. After my travels, I would love to work for one of those big agencies on the west coast! I am interested in branding and strategy.

What I like about TPG:

Everyone is very nice and helpful here. Our awesome account managers always keep us busy. One Friday afternoon, I got to jam out on David’s mandolin and guitar! What other kind of office would let you do that?

Favorite Campaign:

My favorite commercial is Gatorade’s tribute to Derek Jeter. The spot was created by TBWA\Chiat\Day. Who doesn’t love a good Frank Sinatra tune?

Hobby:

I’m a huge music fan. I like to play the guitar, mandolin, and ukulele as much as I can. When I’m not putting on a concert in my living room, I can be found outside play fetch with my dog!

Fun Fact:

Aside from interning at The Price Group, I am also the social chair of the Tech Ad Federation and the Media Director for the Tech Bullet Ad Team.
