Trick or Treat!


Hi AutoCom-ers and former Interns!

Scary what happens in the office these days…
It was this special day in Detroit when AutoCom’s employees were not dressed as usual.

Most people call it Halloween. Germans would think it is a mix of Karneval and Saint Martin because people are dressed up as we do it for Karneval and children go door-to-door to ask for candies like on Saint Martin’s Eve. They do it in a very friendly way: TRICK OR TREAT!!!!

Let’s go back to what happened at AutoCom. You had to look twice to recognize the employees. There was a pregnant woman (btw: we are still looking for a name for the little boy. Ideas for a nice name can be sent to awilmes@usautocom.com).



But that wasn’t all; there was also a nerd, an angel of death, a Spartan fan, a little red riding hood and a German engineer.





Oh, and I almost forgot about the Michigan cowboy who actually changed his costume to become a Wolverine fan, and early contest that will conclude at 6 p.m. this Saturday. Even his dogs were dressed up…







Here you can see the winners of our internal election in the category “Best Halloween Costume 2008”. And the winner is…

… the pregnant lady…
Andrea Wilmes!!!! Applause!










We had so much fun in the office. We ate pizza for lunch together. We had a “Halloween Staff Meeting” and Maggie baked Halloween cupcakes which were delicious, thank you Maggie.

Hey former interns, how did you celebrate Halloween? We’d like to see some pictures. So, TRICK OR PICS!

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...

A New Year, a New Intern

Hi everybody, My name is Véronique and I am happy to say that I will be one of the new interns at AutoCom beginning on March 19. I am a 21 year old student from Germany. The internship is part of my International Business & Management degree that I am working on at the Hanze University in Groningen, Netherlands. I am currently in my third year at Hanze University and the previous semester I studied abroad at a partner university in Macau, China, where I took courses related to my marketing major. I am very excited to start my second stay abroad in a few weeks and I hope that I will gain a lot of professional experience and get to know the area of public relations while working at AutoCom. I also love traveling, so I hope I will be able to see as much of the U.S. as possible, especially since it is my first stay there. It has always been a dream of mine to visit the U.S. and now being able to learn the entire culture and industry by actually living there is a huge bonus. Right now I...

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...
