Come Monday the Redline team will be almost double up, as two new interns join our team. They are from Holland and are ready to learn about how to do business in Spain. The existing redline team are looking forward to welcome both interns and to see what new smart marketing tricks they can teach us. This also means that Redline truly is an international team – with Danish, Argentinean, Swedish, English and Dutch staff.

Stay tuned to our About us page on the Redline website for more information about our new staff members…

This week is very special to people living in Málaga.

In August of 1487 Málaga became Christian after the conquest of the catholic kings Isabel & Fernando. Because of this since the year 1887 the city of Málaga celebrates its feria, to honnor this historical event in the city’s history.

This year is one of the biggest ones yet housing 150 “casetas” which are house looking tents both daytime as well as night time.
We are going tonight to check it out, of course dance a little bit of “Sevillanas” and a drink lots of Cartojal (dessert wine)!

¡OLÉ!

Have a great weekend!

It’s Thursday of what is probably the most un-eventful month of the Spanish year in business, but we are sitting on nails in the Redline office impatiently awaiting the results from a logo design competition that we have entered.

The Logo competition is for the Spanish City Granada’s millennium celebration called; Reino de Granada (Eng: Reign of Granada). The concept of the competition is to create a logo and a strap line that presents, summarizes and honours the cultural heritage of the city of Granada celebrating the millennium in 2013, through years of conquest, starting with the moors or “Nazari” as they were called to the Catholic conquest and to modern times. All the changes in religion and cultures have left Granada with architectural treasures such as the world renowned “Alhambra”, which has been recognized as one of the world’s wonders by UNESCO.

Stay tuned for the results!

Friday was the night Seal played live in Marbella town. Redline’s Line was there to enjoy the world renown singer. Telling from the video the concert was indeed a treat!

Heidi Klum, Seal’s wife since 2005, is not a stranger to reality TV, after years of the successful “Project Runway” recently started working on a reality based on the everyday life of the couple called “Love´s Divine”. The show has been picked up on Lifetime TV starting shortly. Love’s Divine, as well as Project Runway can be seen on: http://www.mylifetime.com/shows.

Big media coverage will surely attend to the luxury hotel Villa Padierna in Marbella the first week of August, since it is now confirmed from the White House that the First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama and the couple’s daughter will spend their holidays there between the 4^th to the 8^th. All of Mrs Obama’s activities will be closed to the media.

Have you ever been at a horse race? If the answer is no we assume that you have not heard about the Mijas Costa Hippodrome.  Just recently we got invitations to the sports venue that is opens a few times per year.

Line has a typical case of New Begginers Luck and won a “gemela” on the first race, which means that the first two horses to cross the finishing line are the ones you betted on. It was the only win of the night as me and Lulu were short on luck that night…

Horse racing has been proved to be one of the oldest sports in the world.  Especially  in Greece scientists have found  acient objects with racing horses painted on them.

The Mijas Costa Hippodrome is open every Saturday until the 6th of August. For more information about upcoming events visit www.hipodromocostadelsol.es

Tonight the Grammy Awards singer SEAL performs at the Marbella Bullring.  SEAL begun his career  in Britain’s house music/rave scene, but later moved on to his most known emotional, romantic love songs and the hit song “Kiss From A Rose” from the Batman soundtrack.

If you are like Redline’s Line – you don’t want to miss the star’s voice in live in Marbella tonight at 20.00. If you are not going you can still enjoy his music on this link: http://www.seal.com/music/

Stay tuned for pictures!

Redline Company has worked closely with Central FM over the last couple of months; one of our most recent projects was to re-vamp the radio stations website, giving them a complete new website with full content management so that they can upload all information themselves.

After a long time with Redline’s own radio jingle on the station, we decided to refresh the advert just recently. To our delight the play-backs were sent to us yesterday afternoon. So listen up for our new radio advert on  Central FM and tell us what you think!

We have also done an advert for our latest addition to our Redline business – Gratitude Art, so listen out for that one. For more information on Gratitude art click here.

Earlier today Line was interviewed by the Spanish National Radio Station COPE down in Incosol hotel. Since we do a lot of merchandise at Redline, and strongly recommend our clients to do the same, Line brought some of Redline’s merchandise goodies to the interviewer – and she had the same positive reaction as so many people before her.

Who would have thought that our branded mugs, heart shaped mints or business card holders could be such a simple, yet so, appreciated gifts to the people close to us?

Back in April this year, Line and myself (Annika) went to an event called Tweet-up, a casual networking group to get people to “see the faces behind the tweets”, here in Marbella and caused quite a craving for our merchandise. Over the next weeks, to our amusement, we kept noticing people commenting on our mints, how cute and good they were and if we would bring some more to the next one. Our friends at the Tweet-up voted the redline mint heart “the best merchandise 2010”.

Merchandise might be one of the oldest tools in the marketing box, but to this day people still get very excited about key rings, USB sticks or just breathe mints, and keep them close by, for whenever they might come in handy. What a great way to get your contacts and clients to remember you!! To our experience they help to create a buzz in today’s busy market, making your brand stand out.

If you have any great merchandise stories, please share!
