Hello everyone,

My name is Stefanie and I earned my bachelor’s degree in Business Studies with the focus on marketing from the University of Applied Sciences Regensburg, Germany in June.  During my studies, I did an Internship in the communications department at Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen in Regensburg.  To be prepared for the daily work in an international company, I decided to complement my bachelor’s degree with an internship abroad as an account assistant at AutoCom Associates in Michigan.

When I arrived on Friday, August 17, the current interns Sandra and Julia picked me up from the airport in Detroit and we drove to Royal Oak, where I will live with Julia and 3 other people from different countries in a typical Michigan house.

The first night we went straight to a Detroit Lions football game at Ford Field.



On Saturday, we watched the famous Woodward Dream Cruise and on Sunday, we went kayaking to Turnip Rock near Port Austin – so far, my personal highlight.

I was able to meet a lot of people on the first weekend and felt at home right away.

My internship at AutoCom started on Monday, August 20. My colleagues are very nice and helpful and I think that exciting tasks are waiting for me here and I will quickly settle down.

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...

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...

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...
