#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...

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...
