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.

About Cologne, Cars and Trees… - Update from the other Side of the Lake

 Hi or as we would say in Franconia "Servus", a couple of months have passed since I started my internship at AutoCom and even though I cannot share something about the amazing sites within and around Detroit, I can still give you an update on what is happening.  Philipp has joined us two months ago and we two are currently working on the Social Media Appearance of AutoCom. Even as "digital nomads" we encounter challenges and still have a lot to learn. However, it is great just to create new things from scratch or nearly immediately see a result when sharing a story or creating a post.  But enough of work… About Cologne Larry and the others offered me to go to Cologne to attend a meeting with a client and I - of course - couldn't resist and decided to stay even a bit longer. It was a nice trip with splendid late summer weather and I was able to take a lot of images - at least until my battery died.  About cars Since some of my initial projects were crushed by th...

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...

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...
