@SJUSportsMkting Student Profile: Kristen Stoltz

Kristen Stoltz is a senior sports marketing major at SJU and she is also working at the Sports Radio 94WIP. Here is Kristen’s blog post about her internship and now work experience at the Sports Radio WIP:

“During my spring semester of my junior year I was given the opportunity to intern with Sports Radio WIP in Center City. At the time WIP was the sole provider of game broadcasts in Philadelphia for all for major sports. I was able to get firsthand experience of how a sports radio station is ran through the talk radio aspect as well as the production of game broadcasts and commentary. I was also able to experience and work Wing Bowl 20 which was a worldwide media event in which Takeru Kobayashi participated and won. I was an official photographer for Wing Bowl 20 and my pictures were seen by people all over the world.

When my internship ended in May I was lucky enough to be offered a part time position on the promotions team. In addition to working events for Sports Radio WIP, the promotions team also helps out with events for other CBS radio stations, 98.1 WOGL and 1210 WPHT. Throughout my time on the promotions team I have been able to network with many people in the sports industry and have had countless learning experiences that I know will aid me in my career after graduation. I was also able to work Wing Bowl 21 in which I assisted in the production of an on demand video recap of the event. The video was available online for a small fee hours after the event. 

I highly recommend the internship program at WIP for anyone interested in sports marketing or communications.”
