In the Summertime...

The thermometers have settled beyond the 70° mark, the air conditioning systems are running full force, the sun is a permanent part of the day and sounds of people mowing their lawns are ruling the area. Brace yourselves people, because Michigan Summer is on the way!
 This does not only mean that you might encounter slightly red faces or spend a great part of your free time in back yards or at lakes, but it’s also time again for AutoCom’s annual Tech Crawl.
 On June 19, 2012 the day has come for the 10th time to get together with a couple of our clients and automotive journalists for a fun day of technology presentations, vehicle displays and social activities. This year, Tech Crawl will be held in Detroit and will include several venues that we will travel to by taking the Detroit People Mover. As a conclusion to the informative day, we will watch the baseball game between the Detroit Tigers and St. Louis Cardinals at Comerica Park.
The 10th anniversary of Tech Crawl is surely a reason to stop for a moment and look back on the event’s past. Unfortunately I was not part of previous Tech Crawls but I hear we had full-day events, half-day events, boat cruises, wine tastings, limousine rides, golf outings and of course many interesting and telling presentations from the sponsoring companies.
Tech Crawl being a great opportunity for our clients to get in front of a respectable number of industry journalists is at the same time a big chance for me and the other interns to get hands-on experience with clients, media and event management. It is a great pleasure for me to play a major role in the organization of the event this summer and I am very looking forward to execute everything we have been planning during the last weeks.

The days are numbered!

So long!

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
