Welcome into the world of work

Hi everyone,

It’s a long time ago that we had a chance to update the blog. We had a lot of work with organizing the SAE Supplier Luncheon, as well as the Freudenberg program the past few weeks. This year’s 2016 SAE World Congress Supplier Luncheon took place at the Detroit Marriott in the Renaissance Center. Directly before this event the Freudenberg program started at the same location. The Freudenberg Group had a conference with live video feed to the CEO and CFO in Germany. After joining the lunch, the participants were headed over to their next stops in Durham, NC and Aurora, IL. The luncheon with our clients and the media people went quite well – the food was delicious, the view fantastic and everyone was happy.

On top of that we helped Jack and his wife Eileen at the Detroit Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists’ Excellence in Journalism award ceremony and banquet at the San Marino Club. The SPJ presented more than 100 awards. The most important ones of the evening were the Detroit’s Journalist of the Year, the Young Journalist of the Year and the Lifetime Achievement Award. The San Marino Club in Troy, looking like a small ancient castle, was the perfect location for such an event. Jack Harned, the Senior Partner of AutoCom was recognized for his years-long membership with the Society of Professional Journalists.

Apart from this we both did some nice trips on the weekends to various destinations. Marie went to Toronto and Boston and Florian to Chicago. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the time. Meanwhile, the weather finally changed for the better and spring arrived. Last weekend was the warmest so far with over 21 degrees Celsius (70° F).

Now we are looking forward to TechCrawl and the beginning of summer.

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...

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...

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...
