Goodbye and Happy Holidays!!

The time has come to bid farewell to everybody and everything in the U.S. It has been a wonderful and most enriching time over the last six months. I happened to see a country with the widest free market and most outspoken liberty in the world. At the same, time I have seen the historical part in interesting and infamous artifacts from the past, such the very first Model T or Mackinac Island. Having never thought about experiencing all this just some time ago, I will be leaving the U.S. with a big smile. For what it’s worth, there is no doubt that this internship is one, if not the, highlight of my student life, which I will remember for a long time. AutoCom made it all possible, for which I am really grateful for.

I met very many interesting people, like Jack, with his fundamental knowledge of everything he knows about the automotive industry. Taking his advice on trips in the States has proved to be quite helpful. Seeing Larry’s devotion to thing he does best, gives you an extra push with a high degree of motivation on top. Being driven by your passion for doing the things you love most forges only the best “know-how.” Craig is a great fellow to work with. One of his interests is your lunch and the places you go on the weekends. My team members certainly have left a good footprint during the last six months.

As for me, I think my biggest achievement was to see first-hand, how modern public relations has been transformed. I see my AutoCom life being a great momentum for years to come and certainly enough to tell stories for the next month back home.

Everything comes to an end, but endings are always followed by new beginnings. I am living this notion right now, so should my successor.

Thanks and take care,

Kiril

Jack inducted into PRSA Detroit Chapter Hall of Fame!

Hi everyone! Last night we went to the PRSA Detroit Chapter’s annual meeting. During the meeting was a ceremony for Jack Harned’s induction into the Hall of Fame. The meeting was downtown at the beautiful DTE Energy building. We had a great time networking with fellow colleagues in the PR industry and catching up with previous AutoCom employees. After dinner, Marty gave a great introduction to Jack. Jack’s speech was absolutely wonderful! Every one loved it! He talked about some of his past experiences from his hometown newspaper to working with GM and NASA. It seemed that everyone loved hearing his stories as much as we do at our Friday lunches! It’s great to know that Jack’s peers recognize all of his hard work. He has accomplished and seen so much, he truly deserves this award. From all of us at AutoCom: Congrats, Jack! We are all so proud of you! Leave some comments for Jack and keep an eye out for pictures, coming soon, at AutoCom's Facebook page! Until next time, Julia, Kerry

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

Who is Wayne???

Now I am more than one month here and time is going by so fast. I wanted to post earlier, but we had some problems with the blog. My first month was more like a week. Getting a Social Sec. No, a bank account, finding a new place, discovering Detroit (I got totally lost when I moved to my new place, but thank god I have my own navigation system called Nicky&Josh :o)). My new place downtown. I just have to figure out, how I can get rid of my room mate "Young" :-) But the hardest thing was to find a car. In particular I had one big problem: Former interns bought their cars at Wayne’s garage. But nobody at AutoCom knew Wayne’s last name. And trying to find Wayne by the search terms “Wayne, garage and car” at google was very ineffective. Asking all former interns was interesting, too. Nicky and I got very different information and so we tried to merge all the different pieces of the puzzle to one big “Wayne’s-Address-Puzzle”. But finally we got to Wayne’s garage. For all futu
