Client Case Study – Trackdays Spain

Trackdays Spain was Shaw Marketing Services’ first client and a great one to get our teeth into. Although they had a very small budget and couldn’t advertise, public relations alone was enough to generate over 20,000€ worth of coverage!

Networkingtastic!

I have been a bit remiss of late and have been missing some networking functions because I’ve just been too busy, so to make up for it (and to start distributing my new leaflets) I have booked myself in for a load of new networking over the coming weeks. Here’s a run down of all those I’m going to with their websites. Please comment on this post if you know of any more.

Thank goodness it’s September!

Why doing the things you love makes you healthy

Guest Blogger Anita Chaperon from FitHappyHealthy.com

This month I wanted to bring to your attention an often overlooked side of a healthy lifestyle.

Most of us think of dieting and exercising when we think of losing weight or just maintaining good health. But there is a much bigger underlying factor that will help or hinder your efforts.

The foundation of all your health related efforts is happiness and peace of mind.

No it’s not an airy-fairy unattainable thing.

And no it isn’t reserved specially for the more fortunate and richer echelons of society. It’s something that can be had every single day of our lives – if we were ready to work at it, and if we knew HOW to work at it.

Upcoming charity events

There are three events being held in September to raise money for great causes that I wanted to share with you. The first is being held this Sunday at the El Paraiso Country Club in aid of Manacare, the charity which is creating a community in...

Flamenco Marbella

I love Flamenco! For me the drama, noise and fun of it really typifies the Spanish and it’s great to be able to watch it live. There are many tourist places to watch flamenco which will offer you an amazing show, but I prefer the more authentic spit and sawdust places where the Spanish go.

A few weeks ago, we finally got around to visiting Tablao Flamenco Ana Maria which is tucked away in Marbella Old Town in Plaza Santa Cristo and it was fantastic. It’s held in the owner’s front room by the looks of it, with lots of little round tables with polka dot table cloths, a small bar and a wooden floor for the dancers. The night we went there were three female dancers, a fantastic old guy who sang and danced, a singer and three musicians one who also sang. They sit along the back of the dance space and essentially “jam” with the dancers getting up in turn and the musicians playing according to how they dance. It really is a great spectacle and some of the performances were incredible!
