Something to celebrate!

Hi everybody,

The important things first: Sophia is one year older now J Sadly a lot of our friends were ill, so we weren’t as many as planned for her birthday dinner, but that did not stop us from having a really good time. We went to a restaurant and had some delicious sushi! Afterwards, we met up with some other friends at my place and had a piece of birthday cake. It was a really fun evening and I am sure Sophia had a great time.

And as I told you in my last blog post, we were at a football game in Lansing and it was simply amazing! So many people for a college sports-event? Unimaginable in Germany! We took off quite early, so we could enjoy the atmosphere and to get some food prior to the game. Poor us, after serving us drinks, our waitress was never to be seen again. And since it was a really cold day, we couldn’t stay till the end of the game. It was absolutely freezing. So we decided to stop somewhere for dinner, but that was not a too good of an idea. The food was so bad, I can tell. That was apparently not our day!

A couple of days ago I went to the basketball match Detroit Pistons against Cleveland Cavaliers and surprisingly we won! Our mood couldn’t be better that night. It was a really good match and exciting till the end!

AutoCom gives us the opportunity to visit some events of Women in Communications and today we will join a round table with different authors giving tips on how to write an article. We’ve already been to another event before and we can highly recommend participating in their meetings.

At the moment we are trying to figure out our Thanksgiving plans and we decided to go to Nashville. On my to do list are line-dancing and Thanksgiving dinner, but especially the last one is quite expensive. Well, we’ll see. It will take us about 9 – 10 hours to get there from Detroit, that’ll be interesting for sure.

We’ll keep you posted!

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...

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...

Traverse City 2009

Squeezed in a Jeep between dozens of boxes filled with flash-drives, key chains, pens and pencils, part of our staff headed to Northern Michigan last week for the annual Management Briefing Seminars (MBS). The MBS is one of the highlights in the automotive events calendar with the “who’s who” attending from the global auto industry. It has become tradition over the years that AutoCom hosts several special events for its clients during that week. This year’s AutoCom team was Larry, Jim, Craig, Jack, Tedi, Eleanor and me. Arriving in Traverse City on Monday afternoon, we started decorating the suite that AutoCom rents during that time at the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa. The suite was open from 7am until 9pm, Monday until Friday, and provided a place for our clients as well as for journalists to work and relax in a nice and quiet atmosphere. To say that Eleanor, Tedi and I weren’t exactly dressed in business clothes would be an understatement. Somehow we had a different schedule in mind...
