One of the biggest lessons I have learnt over the past couple of months is that you have to appreciate the things around you. And not crave for the things you want in life. At least you sometimes think you need them, but in reality, you actually don’t need them. Not only material things but maybe also with different relationships. In my internship here I have experienced that it’s...

The Mad Hatters Tea Party organised at The Terrace with Loulou Jane on Friday 14th December was a great success, raising a total of €5,175 euros in aid of the David Toms fund. The Marbella community came together in aid of the much-loved photographer, who suffered an accident last year. The money raised will go towards his care at Jasmin Care in Alhaurín de la Torre. His friends...

Hiking the La Concha mountain was one of the things that stood out for me when I moved to Marbella. It’s always in the background when you walk around the beach, streets or when you are sitting on a terrace, so I just had to do it! With a couple of wines at a Saturday night dinner we start talking about climbing La Concha. We were very enthusiastic about the idea and plan of...

For the past few years I have had the privilege of being invited to Frankfurt on an annual basis by one of our clients. Though part of the information discussed in their impressive high-rise offices is of a procedural nature, there is usually also a macro-economic and stock market update, as well as case studies involving individual companies that make the trip very informative and...

We live in a part of the world where most people feel lucky to spend two weeks a year, so we try not to take Marbella for granted, however every now and again we all need a change of pace. Conil de la Frontera Luckily, Andalucía is remarkable for the sheer diversity of great places to visit, from the beautiful cities of Málaga, Granada and Seville to the wilderness of the natural...

I recently had the privilege of attending a financial conference in San Francisco organised by one of our clients, for whom we provide market research. I regularly visit Frankfurt for this company, and was invited to Hong Kong last year, which was a truly memorable visit, but as this was my first time in San Francisco I was particularly excited about the trip. What’s more, October...

The Senior Masters Cup at the Puente Romano Beach Resort and Spa on Marbella’s Golden Mile, is one of the highlights of many sporting events that take place each year on the Costa del Sol. Manifesto Design was delighted to be invited to the final, an exciting duel between tennis greats, legend John McEnroe and Spain’s own Carlos Moyá. After battling through two days of qualifiers...

The Art of Living is more than just a meditation group. It’s actually a volunteer-based organisation that was founded in 1981 by famous Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. The non-profit organisation stands for the philosophy of peace, a violence-free society and a stress-free mind. Today the Art of Living foundation is active in 156 countries. Last Saturday we attended a conference by...

All good things must come to an end. After almost five months doing my marketing internship at Manifesto Design it’s time to say goodbye. During my time with the company I learned a lot and had the opportunity to develop myself even more. I can say without a doubt that I improved my written English and gained international experience in the marketing world. I couldn’t have done...

Over the past month we’ve been working closely with Experience Box to organise an interactive treasure hunt. Objective: raise as much money as possible for David, and last Sunday 28th May the day was finally here! Manifesto participated on the day with our very own ‘dream team’. Even though some of us had a rough day and it was really warm too, we had so much fun. Each group was...
