The Best Company: Saturday Fun in Detroit’s winter at the AquaFreeze Festival

Meeting on a Saturday to hang out with co-workers? Yes, with such a wonderful team you can also have a nice day on the weekend.

Denise our business manager was friendly enough to invite us on Saturday to go with her to the winter fest “Aqua freeze,” which took place close to her house.

The SCS Aqua Freeze Festival got its start in 2013 when a few friends came up with the idea of having an ice festival in the city.

Although it was really cold because of the wind coming off of the lake, as the festival was of course was an outside event, we all had a lot of fun seeing all the different types of ice sculptures. There was also an area where it was possible to see the sculptors cutting the huge ice blocks and the different figures in front of everyone.

For those who wanted to go ice skating there was also the possibility to play pond hockey on the frozen lake. And for the people who couldn’t get warm enough trying to catch the few rays of sunlight there was a huge variety of hot beverages to keep you warm

After spending some time outside at the festival, Denise invited us to stop by her house afterward to sit together for a while and eat her home-made chili Everything was really delicious!

Thanks once more to Denise for your great hospitality; we all really appreciated and enjoyed the whole day!

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...
