THE SOUND OF THE COSTA
Be part of building The Sound Of The Costa
The go-to lifestyle platform for the Spanish coast
The Sound Of The Costa is a growing media brand for everyone who lives, works, or dreams of the Spanish costas. We create content that resonates — news, lifestyle, culture, and business — across radio, online platforms, and social media. For expats, locals, tourists, and entrepreneurs who want to connect with that way of life.
We’re not building out of charity — we’re building because we understand the value of relevance. Good content draws attention. Attention brings an audience. And an engaged audience? That’s worth its weight in gold — for anyone with something to say or something to sell.
Welkom bij The Sound Of The Costa - jouw toekomst aan de Spaanse kust?
Can you feel it too?
There’s something in the air. An ambitious platform. A sunny audience. An open playing field. And so much potential. Feel that itch? Got creative ideas? A nose for business? A sharp pen, a podcast voice, or a head full of formats?
Or just keen to be part of something new — something that could grow into the media brand of the Costas? Then we say: come join us.
What are we looking for?
We’re not after yes-people. We’re looking for builders. Creatives, makers, strategists, sales talents, storytellers, editors, radio minds, freelancers, entrepreneurs in the making.
Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a rising talent — if you bring the energy, we’ll explore what’s possible. Flexible, remote or local — all options are on the table.
Do you dare to jump in?
Check out our open roles and get in touch. Or send us an open pitch if you’re thinking: you’re looking for me — you just don’t know it yet.
Vacancies
🎯 Commercial talent (freelance/commission-based)
- Location: Costa Blanca / Costa del Sol
- Language: Dutch or Engels and Spanish
The Sound Of The Costa is a growing media initiative connecting expats on the Spanish coast — with each other, with the region, and with strong brands. We do this through inspiring content, social media, branded videos and — just as importantly — through radio.
With three stations — Costa Blanca Radio, Radio Costa and FeelGood Radio — we offer strong, recognisable, and constantly present audio advertising for brands that want to stay top of mind with expats.
We’re building a content-driven platform with vision — not quick sales, but long-term brand building.
To strengthen our commercial impact, we’re looking for an enterprising creative with a commercial mindset — someone who can help grow our brand among entrepreneurs along the Costas.
🧠 Who are we looking for?
You’re not someone who just “sells a few ad spots.” You see content as an opportunity. You recognise when a business doesn’t just need an ad — but a place in the mind of the audience.
You know how to use a branded article, radio spot, podcast clip or social video to strengthen a brand — and you can translate that into clear, achievable propositions.
You understand our ambition: to build a platform that’s both content-rich and commercially strong — for expats on the Costa Blanca and, in time, along the entire Spanish coast.
🎯 What will you be doing?
- Approaching entrepreneurs in high-value sectors such as real estate, wellness, mobility, hospitality, and lifestyle
- Having meaningful conversations about positioning and marketing
- Offering radio ads and sponsorship packages — both as standalone options and as part of broader campaigns
- Contributing ideas for formats, features, and creative links between brands and content
- Collaborating with the creative team on planning and production
- Building a network of strategic partners and long-term advertisers
You won’t get a fixed salary — but you’ll have the freedom to build your own success. If you’re good at building relationships and bringing entrepreneurs into a bigger story, you’ll do very well here. And you’ll be working with clients who turn into ambassadors.
💶 What do we offer?
- No fixed salary, but a generous commission based on results — ideal for those who value freedom and personal responsibility.
- The chance to build something from the ground up — growing alongside the platform
- Autonomy, with the support and alignment of a committed creative team
- A place in a vision-driven project that genuinely aims to contribute to the media landscape of the Spanish coast
✅ Who are you?
- You have a strong sense for content-driven marketing, storytelling, and brand positioning
- You recognise the power of radio advertising as part of a broader strategy
- You’re socially confident and enjoy building relationships
- You’re not afraid to take initiative — even without a safety net
- You already have a network on the Costa Blanca or Costa del Sol — or the drive to actively build one
- You speak Dutch or English, and your Spanish is strong enough to approach business owners professionally — both spoken and written
✉️ Interested?
You don’t need a slick sales pitch — but you do need a feel for content, the guts to take initiative, and a love for the region. Are you the commercial link we’re looking for? Then we’ll switch on the mic for you.
Then fill in the application form at the bottom of this page! Tell us who you are, what connects you to the region, and why you’re the right person for this role.
We look forward to hearing from you!
🎯 Events Editor (volunteer position)
Be the eyes and ears of the Costa — and connect people with the best experiences the region has to offer.
- Location: Costa Blanca / Costa del Sol / Remote
- Hours: 2–4 hours per week
- Compensation: unpaid — but with impact, visibility, and strategic networking benefits.
- Language: Dutch or English, plus Spanish
- Start date: To be agreed — we’ll begin with a 3-month trial period
The Sound Of The Costa is an independent media platform in full development, supported by a strong network of radio stations (FM & DAB+), a rapidly growing website with lifestyle and news content, and active social media channels. We connect Dutch-speaking expats, tourists and locals in southern Spain through culture, inspiration, and current stories. In this growth phase, we’re building a content-rich, creative and professional ecosystem — and we need your talent to help shape it.
📌 Your role at a glance
As events editor at The Sound Of The Costa, you’re the key link between the platform and everything happening along the Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol.
You spot cultural events, markets, festivals, exhibitions, and special gatherings — and make sure they’re clearly, attractively, and accurately published on our website.
And to top it off — none other than radio icon Erik de Zwart shares your regional tips daily on Costa Blanca Radio!
You’ll be part of an inspiring platform that connects expats and visitors on the Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol through radio, lifestyle, and culture.
✅ What do we ask of you?
- You live (mostly) in the Spanish target region or know the area well
- You have a good sense for language, editing, and factual reporting
- You’re proactive, self-reliant, and follow editorial guidelines
- You can write in a neutral and credible tone — without sounding promotional or like PR
- You’re fluent in Dutch, English, and ideally Spanish too (to maintain your local network)
- You work reliably and communicate clearly about your progress
"No, it won’t make you rich. But what you gain is access, insight, and a network that would otherwise take you years to build. And honestly? It’s more rewarding than scrolling through Instagram."
🧭 What's in it for you?
- A unique networking position: you’ll become the go-to contact for event organisers and cultural hotspots in the region.
- Visibility on a growing platform: your work appears on a professional media outlet that brings together radio, lifestyle, news, and events in one ecosystem.
- Relevant experience for your CV: ideal for (aspiring) journalists, editors, communication professionals, or local connectors.
- Strategic input: you’ll help shape the development of a unique, forward-thinking media initiative.
- Room to grow: if the collaboration goes well, there are opportunities to move into content coordination, section management, or commercial partnerships.
🤝 How we collaborate
As events editor, you’re one of the key antennas of The Sound Of The Costa. You keep your finger on the pulse: what’s happening in the region, and what deserves a spot in our agenda? That includes conversations with organisers, cultural partners, and local initiatives. In fact, we see it as a strength if you proactively connect on our behalf — it’s part of your role.
To keep things running smoothly, we coordinate internally: who contacts whom, what’s already in motion? This helps us stay organised, avoid surprises, and ensure that our platform remains professional and reliable — both for our partners and our audience.
Are you personally involved in an event? No problem — just let us know, so we can stay transparent with our readers as well.
You’ll submit your input via our editorial system, after which we’ll take care of final editing and publication. We’ll start with a three-month trial period to see if there’s a good fit — on both sides.

🎯 News Editor / Photo Reporter (volunteer position)
Be the eyes and ears of the Costa — and keep people informed with everything that’s current and relevant.
- Location: Costa Blanca / Costa del Sol / Remote
- Hours: 2-4 hours per week, flexible (starting from 2 to 3 posts per week)
- Compensation: unpaid — but with impact, visibility, and strategic networking benefits.
- Language: Dutch or English, plus Spanish
- Start date: To be agreed — we’ll begin with a 3-month trial period
The Sound Of The Costa is a multimedia platform that connects expats on the Spanish coast — with each other and with their surroundings. We do that through radio, online content, social media, lifestyle, events and… news.
And that’s what we want to strengthen — not with copy-paste content from other websites, but with real stories from people who actually live in the region.. People who see what’s happening, sense the news, and know how to capture it — in words and images.
🎯 What will you be doing?
- You keep an eye on the news in your region — from local council updates and cultural events to small happenings, remarkable people or striking situations.
- You write short, accessible news articles in Dutch - or English
- Ideally, you take your own photos (a smartphone camera is fine — as long as you have an eye for what you’re capturing)
- You gradually build a local network in your region — from the town hall to local businesses and residents
- You publish directly to The Sound Of The Costa website and Facebook page, with support from the editorial team
👀 Who are we looking for?
- Someone with a nose for news — who understands what’s relevant and interesting for expats living on the Costas
- You’re careful with language, and you write clearly, concisely, and with a lively tone
- You use your own images and respect copyright guidelines
- You enjoy getting to know the region better — especially through its people
- Ideally, you have a personal connection to the Costa Blanca or Costa del Sol
“I thought I knew the region well, but through this work I discover something new every week. And along the way, I meet people I never would have crossed paths with otherwise.”
🤝 What do we offer?
- A place within a growing media platform with strong editorial ambition
- Freedom to set your own focus — you know your region best
- Support from the editor-in-chief and fellow contributors in other parts of Spain
- The opportunity to gain hands-on journalistic experience in a practical setting
- No financial compensation, but a clear opportunity to grow with the platform — and to be part of a regional team making a real impact
🧩 Why a team?
We’re not after one superhero to do it all — we’re looking for several editors, each covering their own slice of the story.
If five people each post one solid story a day, our news flow is already strong. The power lies in the collective — in the commitment and local roots. Together, we’ll make The Sound Of The Costa a platform that truly lives and breathes.
🙌 Something for you?
Get in touch — fill in the application form at the bottom of this page! Tell us who you are, what connects you to the region, and why you are the right person for this role.
We look forward to getting to know you!
Want to collaborate?
Do you live on the Costa too? And are you someone who loves working with content — video, audio, photography, stories? Maybe you’re full of ideas. Maybe you’ve even thought about starting your own platform.
But be aware! Before you know it, you’re caught up in building, organising, figuring things out, promoting… and spending less and less time doing what you’re actually great at — creating bold, meaningful, standout content.
So: why struggle on your own when you can plug into something bigger?
The Sound Of The Costa is a growing platform built on collective strength — a place where creators, thinkers and doers come together to make an impact. A space for your style, your voice, your ideas — without having to carry everything on your own.
Want to ride along, join in, jump on board, bounce ideas — or simply get to know us?
