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.

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...

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...

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...
