LFStyle Blog
In my role as Marketing & PR Executive for Lucas Fox International Properties I collaborated on the creation and launch of the LFStyle brand – a bilingual print magazine, Ibiza-inspired lounge album and a popular travel and lifestyle blog.
I worked with Lucas Fox from September 2013 to November 2016, based in-house for one year at their head office in Barcelona, then on a freelance basis working remotely at a time when this was still quite unusual. For the blog, I wrote insider guides, event round-ups, interviewed fascinating entrepreneurs and covered the best of Spanish lifestyle and luxury real estate.
I collaborated with dynamic teams in 9 offices across Spain whilst working remotely from the Uk, ensuring brand consistency whilst working to deadlines on a range of Marketing & PR Tasks. My role also involved producing unique content for high-end brochures and marketing materials, copy-editing and publishing commissioned articles by renowned journalists.
Lucas Fox won Best Marketing at the European Property Awards in 2016. The company was singled out by an independent judging panel of 70 experts for being the most innovative, exceptional and ambitious agency of 2016.
