Internships are the best way for students to learn about a profession they hope to achieve in the future.  For a marketing and advertising student like myself, I wanted to immerse myself in content creation, branding and digital marketing, among others.  I instantly knew that Manifesto Design in Marbella, Spain, is a perfect fit for me because their passion for excellence,...

As I am writing this I’m currently on my last day of my internship at Manifesto Design. These past months have gone by way too fast…and what a journey has it been. I remember walking into the office on my first day back in February, feeling both anxious and excited to start. I had just left my home in The Netherlands to live on my own for the first time, and not just that, to live...

Hola! My name is Esther and I’m 21 years old. I am currently in my third year of International Business studies at the Avans University of Applied Sciences in Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands. I chose to study International Business because I have always been interested in social media marketing and travelling to new places. I find it very interesting to experience other cultures...

Over the years, the team at Manifesto Design has given many businesses an online makeover. We have rebranded businesses, redesigned websites and logos, created brochures and much more. However, through all of that, we didn’t have the time to look in the mirror for quite a while. When we did, we decided it was about time for our own online makeover! It’s been a long process,...

In keeping with the hotel’s recent makeover, Kempinski Hotel Bahia last week hosted the launch of a very interesting art exhibition with works by two big names from the music world, Brian Travers from UB40 and John Illsley of Dire Straits. The event started with an interview of the two rock legends by Giles Brown, where they revealed that from school age on they showed an aptitude...

Puente Romano in Marbella has been hosting memorable concerts of famous artists and bands for years. It’s the place where all of us can soak up the atmosphere of great music and simply enjoy every second of it. And next year in August, Rock Lounge and Puente Romano will host an amazing concert, a truly spectacular phenomenon of pop music – The Jacksons. Their performance in...

After leaving the Valley of the Roses, the real climb through the High Atlas Mountains began. There are two single-track routes you can take South to North – via the Todra or Dades gorges. We chose the Todra, which entails driving through a series of limestone river canyons – unfortunately always very busy with tourists, which spoils the experience a bit. We were headed to Agoudal...

I say trip to the Caucasus because if you mention Georgia most people think you went to the USA. I did have Georgia on my mind, but this time it was en route to Istanbul, where I was catching a connecting flight to the exotic mountain republic wedged between Russia and the Middle East. It was a press trip arranged through Essential Marbella, for whom I wrote a travel article that...

This spring saw my third trip to Morocco, and this time rather than touring the desert we decided to scale the mighty High Atlas Mountains in our 1968 VW Baja Bug. In preparation we changed the oversized wheels for desert terrain, to smaller rolling diameter ones to lower the gearing and help climb the slopes of the mountain terrain. Many of my friends kindly contributed kids’...
