UPNOW Costa Blanca

UPNOW Costa Blanca Connecting International Communities With Costa Blanca Businesses And Attractions In A Unique Way From 2023 similar productions will be made in Denmark. Why?

UPNOW creates and promotes documentary style films that uniquely present people and businesses to an international audience. UPNOW has so far produced 27 info-documentaries about Costa Blanca. Why UPNOW Costa Blanca? UPNOW Costa Blanca is the only media channel on Costa Blanca that enables you to connect with the international communities without being “salesy”. People don’t like being sold. But p

eople love buying. Just look at the shopping centers any given day and tell us that people don’t like shopping. :)

People want to buy from someone they know, trust and like. So how do you get your potential clients to know, trust and like you? With a newspaper ad? With a radio commercial? With a promotional film? These might get the potential client to know you, but they won’t get them to TRUST and LIKE you. because they are perceived for what they are, an advertisement. The best way to connect with people, to get them to know, like and trust you, is by telling them a story. Your story. People love listening to stories. People like watching films, but they don’t like watching commercials. We produce documentary style films that tell your story. The saying goes that “a picture can speak 1000 words”. Well, a film is made of pictures. A lot of pictures…

In 2016 We came up with a novel concept that allows us to tell a story of the Costa Blanca towns through the people that live and work here. We created a series called: “Costa Blanca – the place to live and visit” where you can see and hear stories of people who chose the Costa Blanca to be their home. We broadcast the films on our local English and Scandinavian TV channel. We also broadcast it hundreds of thousands of viewers worldwide on our web TV and social media.

It’s not an ordinary guide — it’s my personal take on some of the most memorable places to eat, drink, and enjoy the good life along the Costa Blanca. Whether you're living here full-time, visiting for a while, or simply dreaming of your next trip, I hope it offers inspiration and insider insight you won’t find in typical travel guides.

If you like the film, I’d be grateful if you would share it with friends, on social media, or in any group that might appreciate it.
Personal recommendations always go a long way — and it helps me keep making new, independent content like this.

Thanks again for your support!

All the best,
