In the Summertime...

The thermometers have settled beyond the 70° mark, the air conditioning systems are running full force, the sun is a permanent part of the day and sounds of people mowing their lawns are ruling the area. Brace yourselves people, because Michigan Summer is on the way!
 This does not only mean that you might encounter slightly red faces or spend a great part of your free time in back yards or at lakes, but it’s also time again for AutoCom’s annual Tech Crawl.
 On June 19, 2012 the day has come for the 10th time to get together with a couple of our clients and automotive journalists for a fun day of technology presentations, vehicle displays and social activities. This year, Tech Crawl will be held in Detroit and will include several venues that we will travel to by taking the Detroit People Mover. As a conclusion to the informative day, we will watch the baseball game between the Detroit Tigers and St. Louis Cardinals at Comerica Park.
The 10th anniversary of Tech Crawl is surely a reason to stop for a moment and look back on the event’s past. Unfortunately I was not part of previous Tech Crawls but I hear we had full-day events, half-day events, boat cruises, wine tastings, limousine rides, golf outings and of course many interesting and telling presentations from the sponsoring companies.
Tech Crawl being a great opportunity for our clients to get in front of a respectable number of industry journalists is at the same time a big chance for me and the other interns to get hands-on experience with clients, media and event management. It is a great pleasure for me to play a major role in the organization of the event this summer and I am very looking forward to execute everything we have been planning during the last weeks.

The days are numbered!

So long!

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...

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...
