News from our former intern Mareike...

Hey AutoCom guys and ladies,

Now it’s over a year ago that I left Detroit to finish my studies. I cannot believe that time is going by so fast. I will give you just a little report, what happened in my life in the meantime.

I finally turned in my thesis, which took a load off my mind. I mean… as u know…directly afterwards I got on a plane to see you guys. It was really great being able to see you again. Especially your faces were just amusing: “I know that girl… but with long hair”.

After leaving Detroit I visited Boston and New York. I don’t know why, but I don’t care too much about New York. But Boston was just great. I fell in love with that city right away. It looks really European and is so much cleaner than New York :-). But nobody told me that arriving at the Boston Airport is such an adventure. You really think you will crash into the water.






And I can tell you one thing: Your economy must have improved a lot after I went back to Germany. I shopped like there is no tomorrow :-). But it was actually only half the fun without my little Senior Intern Nicky! :-(

Back In Germany I started my first “real real job” :-) If you know what I mean. Not being a student assistant anymore, instead working full time. I work for a media planning agency at the so called Düsseldorf Media Harbor.










And I know one thing for sure… Andi would love it here, because we have a vending machine and coke, sprite and fanta for free…. as much as we want…every day :-) But I am pretty proud, in 7 weeks I only made use of that vending machines three times.
BTW, speaking of the devil (--> Andi): I really think Andi is haunting me… In my last job I shared an office with a coworker called Andre and now I am in an office with Andrea…: Andi everywhere… :-)

I hope you are all doing fine and that you will have a wonderful Christmas time. I will say goodbye now with two last pics: One of the traditional Christmas market (which you find all over Germany during this time, but this picture is from the one in Bonn, where I went to school). The other pic is of the famous “senior angel”! @ all current interns: Whatever Andi is saying about me and that she needed to wash my tongue with soap… it’s NOT true… this is my real identity :-)















Fröhliche Weihnachten, eure Mareike

Hey Mareike,

I love your post! Andi everywhere... Like she is watching you through binoculars...

Looks like your last picture was taken in the shop where you got your ear rings ;)

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...
