When you are born and raised in Vilnius (Lithuania), a career in advertising and film is not the first thing that comes to mind;  it’s a small city in the Baltics with bags of energy and a lot of creative ideas, but not much opportunity to realize them.  People are starting to get a grip of what graphic design is, the concepts of contemporary Hollywood film are now being applied in Lithuanian cinema, and the government is starting to provide young people with various educational programs focusing on different types of intellectual property.

I am studying ‘Creative Industries’ which covers marketing, public relations, advertising, as well as the more practical subjects such as graphic design and film, and it is first of its kind in Lithuania. I decided to enroll after graduating high school as I was interested in the many different yet related subjects. In the first two years of university I participated in several film and advertising related projects, which only served to increase my interest in the field.

I had my first contact with graphic design when I went to Alicante (Spain) to take part in an international study exchange program, one of the many things I enjoyed while studying in Spain.  The practice-based education and the multicultural environment were the most satisfying aspects of my stay there.

It is my aim to find a job that will allow me to put theoretical knowledge in to practice, try out various fields such as design, advertising, marketing and work with creative people from around the world. Fortunately, an internship at Redline Company fulfills exactly what I’m looking for with regards to marketing and design experience.

Contracted by our long-term client Estomar91 (E91) a leading construction, property and project development company based in Marbella, Redline came up with the concept, design and the name ‘Ogee’ – which although not widely known outside architectural circles – is an important style of curve often featured in construction. By working closely with E91, we provide the content for each of the quarterly seasonal issues produced in English and Spanish. We have also designed a stylish, easy to navigate website where you can view the current magazine online or peruse previous issues at your leisure.

With this being the spring issue, the magazine focuses on regeneration, renewal and remodelling; suggesting cost effective ways to improve your property and offers spring cleaning advice from Feng Shui expert Teri Garcia.

However, as a design magazine, the emphasis is placed firmly on architecture, interiors and of course outside spaces. Edwin Toledo discusses eco-architecture, resident yacht interior designer Carol Scanu of Scanu Studios reveals some secrets of boat interiors and there is a new section on gardening provided by Dick and Clodagh Handscombe and much more….

It’s a great read but don’t take our word for it … pick up a copy or visit the website at http://www.ogeemagazine.com/

James Peat, Director of Hola Credito was shocked to hear that unemployment amongst Spain’s youth is currently running at 55 per cent (BBC) and in the province of Jerez, one out of three residents are currently unemployed (ITV news).

As an established financial services provider the team at Hola Credito keep a close eye on world events, gold prices, financial markets and economic conditions. So it wasn’t a complete shock, but no one could fail to be moved by the enormity of the situation, and the affect it will have on the country.

The burden of growing unemployment will put a strain on the government’s finances due to increased Social Security payments – from an already stretched Social Security Reserve Fund – and reduced tax revenue, and also for the individuals who will now find that their access to credit is limited, just when they need the most assistance.

James Peat, Director of Hola Credito, says “Unfortunately, it seems that the most vulnerable in society may be in for more financial hardship. The last thing they need is the burden of knowing that their access to credit disappeared along with their jobs.”

“Hola Credito has a history of creating solutions to short term financial difficulty helping the less fortunate, for no matter what reason – be it a temporary cash flow issue, unemployment or a pensioner – by providing low interest short-term loans secured against valuables. It’s a quick and easy process with no unnecessary delays or paperwork. When the price is agreed and the contract has been signed you can receive the loan immediately.”

As Creative Industries student in Lithuania it is necessary to secure an internship during the third year, ideally this should be within a preferred area of interest and relevant to the course.

My study program is very complex and includes a variety of subjects related to different sectors of creative industries, therefore I looked at a number of video production, advertising, marketing, graphic design and event organizing companies.

When I saw that Redline Company offers internships, I got very excited; a company which works in many different fields, located on the sunny coast of the Mediterranean Sea and the best part – all the workers seemed to be friends!  I immediately started filling in all the forms and I was thrilled to receive an acceptance letter inviting me to join the team for 2.5 months.  

Now that I have arrived, I am sure that all of my high expectations will be fulfilled and I am very happy to be a part of this company!

The company has launched a brand new Easter Prize Draw with an even bigger and better prize… the winner can choose which type of event she would like to attend and which ‘Liaison’ they would like to accompany them. Entry is via the Perfect Liaisons’ website until midnight 24th March.

Perfect Liaisons is a unique service which offers ladies the opportunity to book a ‘Liaison’ to accompany them to whatever event, function or activity they wish. In fact anywhere they would like to go. The Easter Prize Draw invites ladies to enter the draw and also to provide details of their preferred activity. Whether horse riding, a round of golf, lunch on the beach or a night of dancing, and choose which ‘Liaison’ will join them.

In order to accommodate all requests the company deliberately targets recruitment to attract gentlemen with a variety of skills including golf pros, bridge players, dancers, mountaineers, expert equestrians and entrepreneurs to name a few. All are confident, well-presented and will be good company. Many are bi-lingual and all have been personally interviewed to ensure client peace of mind.

Choosing the right man for the job has never been easier. The Perfect Liaisons’ website provides each ‘Liaison’ with a full biography, professional photographs and an introductory video. What you see is what you get; recent images, background information and the opportunity to hear each ‘Liaison’ speak, giving clients the ability to make an informed choice. Perfect Liaisons’ motto is “good company, great times”.
