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...

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...
