A first taste of summer.

Last weekend Nina turned one year older and to honor that day the birthday girl, two of her roomies and I took a little trip to Grand Haven, MI. We left early in the morning, grabbed some breakfast on the way and after a three hours drive we were stunned by this amazing scenery:

Grand Haven is a cute little city located on the shore of Lake Michigan. It was founded by French settlers and started off as a fur-trading outpost. Today the town is very popular as a get-away due to the nice beach area and pleasant water temperature in the summer time.

The red Grand Haven Lighthouses were built in 1875 and 1905 and are connected by a lighted catwalk which runs along the pier to the shore.

Now, Michigan weather has not yet given us any major signs of spring and though we are sure Grand Haven State Park is a great spot to hang out in summer we were just amazed about how this place looks with all the ice and snow.

We were also very lucky weather-wise and enjoyed as much of the sunshine as possible. After getting some lunch we slowly made our way home. What a lovely little road-trip!

However, with Nina and me now being soooo old we feel it is time for some new blood ;) Yes, that is right: We are getting two new interns! Watch this space for who is going to join us at AutoCom and help us welcome our new team members.

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...
