Tech Crawl 2016

Hi everyone,

Yesterday was our long-time anticipated event Tech Crawl. We organized and planned so much the last couple of weeks: managing invitations, ordering promo items, preparing press kit folders and flash drives, setting up the location and much more. But eventually, the whole event went by so fast.

Early in the morning, we took care of the last preparations at our office before heading over to The Stand in Birmingham. We set up our two locations, The Stand for lunch and afterglow as well as the Birmingham 8 Theater for presentations and press briefings. Clients and media representatives arrived around 11.30 a.m. Most of them mingled in the display room to see the clients’ exhibits while socializing and networking.

Our second stop of Tech Crawl 2016 was the Birmingham 8 Theater – just a short walk from The Stand. Kiekert kicked off the media briefings followed by INFICON, Eview 360, HELLA and MAHLE. Additionally, Alcantara showed a company introduction video.

The last item on our agenda was the afterglow back at The Stand. Chef Paul Grosz demonstrated how to butcher a pig and properly use the different parts. Nearly everyone was fascinated, took pictures and was eager to learn more. Nevertheless, appetizers and a special selection of delicious cocktails were enjoyed all night long. The whole day of Tech Crawl was a huge success!

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

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

Who is Wayne???

Now I am more than one month here and time is going by so fast. I wanted to post earlier, but we had some problems with the blog. My first month was more like a week. Getting a Social Sec. No, a bank account, finding a new place, discovering Detroit (I got totally lost when I moved to my new place, but thank god I have my own navigation system called Nicky&Josh :o)). My new place downtown. I just have to figure out, how I can get rid of my room mate "Young" :-) But the hardest thing was to find a car. In particular I had one big problem: Former interns bought their cars at Wayne’s garage. But nobody at AutoCom knew Wayne’s last name. And trying to find Wayne by the search terms “Wayne, garage and car” at google was very ineffective. Asking all former interns was interesting, too. Nicky and I got very different information and so we tried to merge all the different pieces of the puzzle to one big “Wayne’s-Address-Puzzle”. But finally we got to Wayne’s garage. For all futu
