….It was summer time in Northern – Michigan!

… It was summer time in Northern Michigan!

Hello again!

As Niko and Merle are already gone, it is quite empty and quiet in the AutoCom office… I hope both of them had a relaxing flight and arrived safely back home. I wish Niko all the best for his future and an amazing road trip across California. Do not forget to share some pictures with us!!! Fortunately, Merle is still part of our team, and I am so happy that I can carry on and bother her with lots of questions!

Since I spent the last two weekends relaxing in Royal Oak and visiting the great malls nearby, it was time to discover other places in the USA. As the leaves are already changing colors, my friend Sarah and I decided to catch the last shafts of sunlight in the North of Michigan.

After an exhausting five-hour drive, we finally arrived at our first attraction – The “Sleeping Bear Dune.” Surprisingly instead of a hiking trail, one discovered the national park by car. We were very impressed by the overlook we had from the platforms. As we had wonderful weather, the blue sky was reflected by the clear water, and you were able to recognize the different water levels by the diverse shades of blue.

After we climbed the dunes we visited the restored village of Glen Haven. There we found a blacksmith shop, where we had the opportunity to see how iron was heated and forged into a dinner bell. After spending some time on the beach, we left heading toward Traverse
City. On the way we stopped by at a little farmer’s shop where we bought some delicious apples and sweet snacks and had a nice dinner at a lovely diner next to it.

When we arrived in Traverse City the sun was already going down. We had a walk on the beautiful harbor and through downtown. Since it was such a wonderful( but also long) day, both of us were happy to have some rest in the hostel that we just booked on a short-run.

After we woke up and had breakfast, we went on our way home and stopped by at a really big outlet shopping mall where, out of the blue, spent the rest of our day and made some great deals. Exhausted but happy and with many amazing impressions, I passed the city sign of Royal Oak in the evening and could not believe that another weekend was already gone.

I will keep you posted about my next Michigan-adventures. I am also looking forward to introducing you to a new intern soon.

The harbor is amazing! Thanks for sharing your happiness. Michigan is my favorite place. I like watching the sun rising in the morning and making it so shining and warm.

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...

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...
