The Renaissance Center, nicknamed the “RenCen”, is a group of seven interconnected skyscrapers in downtown Detroit. The central tower is called the “Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center”, with 73 floors and a height of 758 ft. The Coach Insignia, an exclusive restaurant at the top of the RenCen was the location of AutoComs SAE World Congress Media Dinner where clients and media interacted. The reason was the SAE World Congress 2007, an exhibition for automotive suppliers at the Cobo Center. The day of the event, Maggi and I went early to check-up the preparation. Before the first guests arrived, we had time to enjoy the wonderful view overlooking Detroit.




It was my first big event with AutoCom and I was very nervous. At 6 p.m. the first guests arrived at the Restaurant and I had no longer time to be concerned. After the set-up I went to my table and we started with the dinner. The food was awesome and I had a nice conversation with my tablemates Dr. Winfried Lehr (MANN+HUMMEL), Claude Mathieu (MANN+HUMMEL), Gerry and Pat Conover (Car-Smart), Jean-Pierre Vasaune (Wallonia) and Jack Harned (AutoCom).


It was very interesting to meet all the clients and the people from the media and I enjoyed the night at the RenCen.

From all reports this was another great AutoCom event. Unfortunately this also was the first SAE/AutoCom media dinner that I've missed. We other client commitments at the Shanghai Auto Show which happened to fall at the same time and I drew the short straw.

I won’t be an intern anymore. :)

Hi everybody! There is news again from my life. You know, I am a person who never stops doing something. Either I travel almost every weekend (like I did in the States) or I am looking for new challenges all the time. :-) Well, my internship in Munich as a marketing consulting intern is not too bad, but I have finished University…so what I want is a real job and not an internship. (The only internship I would love to do, even after I graduated, is the one I already did with AutoCom). :) So I continued applying for jobs. I restricted the area to Bavaria for the first applications, because I love that part of Germany. I love the Bavarian dialect (it is so cute and sexy the same time). I love their “Brezn” and their white sausages. And here is the news: I will start on the 26th of November as an employee at Novartis. Novartis is a huge German pharmaceutical company. I will work there for the strategic sourcing marketing. So I will be the one choosing agencies, advertising materials and so...

It feels good to be home!

After completing my third year at Northern Michigan University in the Upper Peninsula, it feels good to be back home and in the office again. Larry was very gracious in allowing me to come back to AutoCom. For those of you that do not know me, my name is Tedi Falvo. Last summer I did an internship with AutoCom, and learned a lot about public relations outside of the classroom. Books can only teach you so much- the real learning comes when you go out on your own and put everything you have learned to the test. Last summer was a great experience, and I was thankful to work with such a great staff that was willing to help me succeed. While I was in Marquette, Mich. continuing my studies in public relations, and sociology, I remained in contact with AutoCom. When I had a question regarding an aspect of my studies, I always knew where to turn! It is nice to have wonderful people surrounding and filling you with all of their knowledge. That is one aspect I love about working here-everyone wo...

Time to say Goodbye

Only two days left until Don Haberek will leave the AutoCom Team. He was our COO, interns supervisor and the best cake cutter ever! He always had time for the intern's issues and was listening very patiently and carefully to us. Even if he had to repeat his advice a billion times for the foreign interns! But he wasn't only a great interns supervisor. He also gave everbody the oppotunity to gain some weight, when he was cutting perfectly our (nearly weekly ;-)) cake. We really hope, we will find somebody who has the same great technic to cut a cake: 1) Be very gentle to the cake! 2) Use a very sharpe-edged knife, especially our chocolate junky Mareike doesn't want to waste a bit! 3) Be sure that you cut enough pieces. But we think we allready have a new cake cutter. After a long long time Don finally found his twin brother. And accidentally he is working for AutoCom aswell. :-) Who is dressing like Don, must have the same skills! Thanks for everything, we wi ll miss having...
