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...

Hi everyone, My name is Sarah Heuser. I’m 23 years old and from a small town near Cologne, Germany. I just finished my master’s in Journalism and Corporate Communications at the University of Applied Sciences in Wuerzburg. Even though I have a bachelor’s degree in Media and American Studies, I have never been to the US before. That’s why I really wanted to do an internship here so I could see what life and work is like. Rebecca and Julian, the other AutoCom interns, picked me up from the airport last Saturday and my new roommates and some of their friends were already waiting for me. We are all living in Royal Oak, but I’m in a different house than the other AutoCom interns. They are currently taking me to work as I am still figuring out details regarding my car. Last week, which was also my first week at work, was the 4 th of July holiday. That’s why I joined Rebecca, Julian and other interns on a trip to New York. We drove over ten hours but it was worth it: the city is impr...

A New Year, a New Intern

Hi everybody, My name is Véronique and I am happy to say that I will be one of the new interns at AutoCom beginning on March 19. I am a 21 year old student from Germany. The internship is part of my International Business & Management degree that I am working on at the Hanze University in Groningen, Netherlands. I am currently in my third year at Hanze University and the previous semester I studied abroad at a partner university in Macau, China, where I took courses related to my marketing major. I am very excited to start my second stay abroad in a few weeks and I hope that I will gain a lot of professional experience and get to know the area of public relations while working at AutoCom. I also love traveling, so I hope I will be able to see as much of the U.S. as possible, especially since it is my first stay there. It has always been a dream of mine to visit the U.S. and now being able to learn the entire culture and industry by actually living there is a huge bonus. Right now I...
