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.

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...
