Dragonfly Media Curacao

In the exciting world of corporate enterprises many battles are waged every day. The CEO fights with the board on what the best direction is for the company, the HR people argue with management about whether or not personal items are allowed in cubicles, the finance department has fortified its position against the marketing department which wants another ad campaign, and so on.

One of these corporate battlegrounds is the company’s website and its two key combatants are the IT department and the search marketers. Simon Heseltine posted an excellent article in the in-house column over at Search Engine Land. If any of the above sounds even vaguely familiar we urge you to read his article The IT Group: Friend Or Foe Of In-House Search Marketers?.

We are pretty proud of our new babies: a magazine and website about getting married in Curacao.
It is called ‘JaCuracao‘, which is Dutch for ‘Yes, or I Do’ - Curacao.

I was married last year December and during the months of preperations, I wondered many times why no-one had ever thought about making things easier to find for the bride-to-be.
Whether looking for the right location for the reception, or the dinner, or my make-up, I found that I really had to look around and ask around a lot.

Dragonfly Media is a member of the Curacao Hospitality and Tourism Association (CHATA) and we attend most presentations of CHATA as well as those of the Curacao Tourist Board (CTB) .
As CTB plans for marketing Curacao as a great destination for weddings & honeymoon, our choice was clear: we need to build a website that provides information about getting married or honeymooning in Curacao!

Publishing company Loket 1 is in charge of the magazine and we take care of the website.
‘JaCuracao‘ will be published twice a year and will be distributed, for now, among the major travel agents in Holland, the Antillenhuis, Curacao Tourist Board etc. Not only is it great for couples in Holland that want to get married but also local people that need to find information.

PS: this post was written by Bo and not Joost. Joost is still not married and does not wear make-up. Really, he doesn’t.

Every 6 months dozens of Curacaoan students need a company for an internship and hundreds of young people come from Holland to do their internship (”stage” in Dutch) on Curacao. That’s a lot of people for such a small island so sometimes it’s quite the rat race for these students to find their perfect company.

Usually we also get quite a few applications and it can be difficult to make a decision. And honestly; sometimes it’s a bit of a mess because we’ve never set up any rules, guidelines or deadlines for internship applications. We’re in the process of changing this and have set up some basic guidelines and a deadline for applying for an internship at DGF.

So, if you’re looking for an (web design) internship on Curacao check out our internships page and make sure you apply before the deadline ends.
