#NAIAS Detroit

Hello Everybody,
There has been a lot going on in the past few weeks, including Detroit’s annual auto show. So please excuse us for not posting as much as usual. Although we were quite busy, we definitely enjoyed being part of Motown’s most popular and exciting event.  Nicole and I were assisting the AutoCom Team supporting our clients, Alcantara and HELLA ─ a really valuable experience. Last Sunday we had the chance to attend the APA media breakfast and to walk through the auto-show before the COBO Center opened its doors to the public.
Our Sunday morning began much earlier than usual, but it was worth it. At 7 a.m. we already were heading toward downtown Detroit and arrived at the media breakfast at 7:30. After we finally found the right meeting room, we enjoyed some croissants, cereals and coffee. As guests of the Press Association we had free and exclusive entry to the floor of the auto show. Many thanks to Merle, who made this experience possible!
I also am proud to be able to tell you that we have developed a new Instagram strategy and that we will now be more active on our channel. So please follow AUTOCOM_ASSOCIATES to always be up to date on AutoCom activities and news.

I have been at AutoCom for nearly six months and can’t believe how fast my time in the U.S. has passed. It is unbelievable that I only have one month to go. I learned so much during my internship, not only language─ or professional wise, but also about myself.


I think a lot of former interns will agree with me, that AutoCom is not only a workplace, but due to its friendly and family-orientated company culture also a fun place, where you can trust and rely on your coworkers. Because of this team spirit, AutoCom wants to keep in touch, with all of its former interns. In the future, we will send out emails to help update our contact list and keep you posted on AutoCom news. If you have not received one, we would appreciate it if you would send us a short message with your contact information.

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...

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...

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...
