A Unique Greek Heartbeat

Every fairytale has its own Fairy Godmother. In this case, Living Postcards it isn’t a fairytale but a true success story about “The New Face Of Greece”. It was created upon the dream of a brave soul that wanted to rise above the challenging financial circumstances of Greece.

A pioneer of Dreams, may I add… Iliada Kothra is the spirit of Living Postcards. She leads the way for all the people that still believe in the power of creation and the essence of the Beauty of Life. She makes every breath count and provides all the essential support for newborn business or art projects when they want to meet the world.

Highlights

The daunting goal was to assimilate an all-encompassing database of fresh and unique start-ups primarily comprised of exquisite hospitality venues, emerging musicians and artists, fashion and jewelry designers, producers of organic gastronomic and cosmetic products all born from the rich bounty and nature of Greece.

• November of 2012 the English version of Living Postcards embarked upon the difficult task of compiling a variety of new enterprises that collectively would depict “The Νew Face of Greece”.
• Provide the knowledgeable connoisseur with a new image for all young cutting-edge entrepreneurs with their unique products and services.
• Establish and bring forth a refreshing new image and dimension by unraveling the old stereotypical images.
• With respect to the traditional values but yet with a fresh and out of the box approach.

Miracles Do Happen

The Living Postcards endeavor rapidly sparked a plethora of global interest. Strategic partnerships ensued with dynamic sites from abroad such as:

•  stay.com,
•  travelfashiongirl.com,
• HuffPost Greece,
• New Diaspora,
• Adorn Magazine from India

To facilitate all these endeavors, Living Postcards provides today a well-heeled production team comprised of professional writers, photographers, directors, and bloggers all scouring throughout Greece constantly seeking out “The New Face” of this ravaged land.

Once identified, these persevering entrepreneurs and their products are showcased, guided, supported and promoted via a variety of social media channels and efforts.

The New Plans

In the very near future, Living Postcards is in the planning stages of a variety of further promotional endeavors.

The next tier of support would be the development of a constantly evolving and physically traveling “pop up store” that would “transport and transpose” this message throughout Greece and abroad…..blaring this is “The Νew Face of Greece”.

Words Of Wisdom

Iliada Kothra, Founder- Editor in Chief:

The last years with the crisis in our lives, and the big financial insecurity many people started to ”think outside the box”. 

Update on the political issues brought up the necessity to believe in our talents and our people while reinforcing their strongest will to build their future based on their own power.

For us, crisis brought the sense of creativity in difficult times. The resounding response to those who believe that the economic crisis has reduced talent, or dreams for progress. The smell of young people, intensely left behind them, that of the fresh ingredients, transformed into design masterpieces, and that this is the beginning of a new Greece. And that’s the whole meaning of the Living Postcards global platform.
