Models conquer the fashion world with ModelManagement.com and LearnMatch

english4modelsInternational cooperation between ModelManagement.com and LearnMatch has resulted in an innovative concept called “English4Models”. A common goal is to ease communication between agencies, clients and colleagues. The elimination of language barriers and the development of an industry-specific vocabulary ensures more successful castings and thus successful international careers. A collaboration between the revolutionary online model community from Barcelona and our language learning app is thus forging a new path for interest-based language learning.

What does a model need in the 21st century?

The modelling world is more diverse than ever. All the models of today need not only great charisma and other prerequisites, but they also need an understanding of the business of modelling and the main language of the industry – English. Moreover, the fashion industry has always struggled with the recurring problem of the lack of English skills of many of its up and coming models.

A considerable number of careers fail due to insufficient communication between international companies and models. ModelManagement.com and LearnMatch have addressed this problem to render it easier for newcomers to enter and thrive in the fashion industry. Established models can also benefit from this concept. They are enabled to refresh their English skills and fill in knowledge gaps relating to the Dos & Don’ts of the fashion industry.

What does the English4Models content include?

ModelManagement and LearnMatchEnglish4Models includes vocabulary specific to the fashion industry as well as general industry knowledge. In addition, users have access to specially produced videos produced by the Model Academy. These videos allow experienced models to accompany and advise those who are still unsure whether and how they dare enter the industry. Through the use of multimedia content, models are motivated to stay focused and continue to hone their skills. The content produced by the Model Academy is coordinated with learning content from the English4Models course. These two modules complement each other and are perfectly suited to deepen the learning of users. Successful models reveal essential insights from their modelling experience. That way they help newcomers to gain a foothold in the modelling business.

 

With great English skills and stunning charisma, an international career must be round the corner. We are convinced that future graduates of the Model Academy and the English4Models courses will find many doors opening. Moreover, dissatisfied customers at castings will soon be a thing of the past.

LearnMatch App shines in new splendor

LearnMatch App shines in a new splendor and design. Learning through play has always been very important to us. It has increasingly proven to be the right way to motivate learning. With the redesign of both the LearnMatch App and the LearnMatch Business App, this trend was continued with a stronger focus on the user experience. State-of-the-art design meets optimized functionality: all exercise types now have an even larger and more legible font size, and the content and navigation through the app is now even more intuitive and user-friendly.

Design Innovations

The LearnMatch App now features a consistent design, simplified and clear user interface with only 5 main areas (Training, Dictionary, LiveMatch, Ticker and Profile) and Lino, our language trainer. The easier handling of the app increases the fun factor. At the request of our users, we have also adapted the font size and made it easier to read. Due to the new design the LearnMatch App shines in new splendor, but also the fun factor didn’t get neglected.

Monthly contests

Up to now there have been new prizes to win every month in the Kicker Challenge. Because our audience is getting bigger and bigger worldwide, we have now agreed on prizes within the app to make it logistically better and easier to implement. Diligent practice is now more important than ever.

Motivation as the most important driving force

Also new are the various training animations. Thus, learners are increasingly motivated to have more fun during training. The learning experience is really cool because of the direct feedback.

Practice when and most importantly WHAT you want

From now on, our users can choose the vocabulary they want to practice or not practice. This allows us to focus more on individual wishes and needs.

Record progress continuously

With the new design, the progress in learning each word is continuously recorded. You can also see how many words are ready to be repeated. Above all, the progress in the individual sub-chapters is also displayed. Last but not least it remains to say that there are now learning stars for the learned vocabulary and points, which in turn are important for the ranking.

We can’t wait to see how the app’s new features are received by our loyal users and are looking forward to any kind of feedback.

 

Eat the Ball – new generation bread

Don’t play with your food, wasn’t that what they said?

We love languages. But we also have other passions. Food. Good food. We really enjoy eating – big time. Eat the Ball means that we can now pursue this passion. Our new partner gets you salivating while also awakening your “hunger for languages”. We’re delighted by this cooperation!

What is Eat the Ball?

Eat the Ball is an innovative Austrian company based in Salzburg. In 2012, they launched the world’s first branded bread, establishing a new category of functional branded bread at the same time.

How did it all start?

It all started in 2007 with a question: Why are there no real bread brands? The answer was sobering. Highly important foods, such as bread, are only marketed within generic categories. Marketing of genuine, distinguishable branded products with individual quality characteristics? Error 404, not found.

Who’s behind Eat the Ball?

The question they asked in 2007 kept bothering Michael Hobel and Norbert Kraihamer. Their interest in bread and brands kept buzzing around their brains for years. In 2012, they decided to launch Eat the Ball in Austria. In 2013, they took their first steps towards Germany and the USA. Their goal is to establish the world’s first real bread brand.

How is Eat the Ball bread made?

Eat the Ball is made using the innovative technology pro.ferment.iced®, which enables bread to be produced in special shapes. This is a patented production process that relies on slow cooking processes at low temperatures. It results in a completely natural bread from Austria that stays fresh for longer. Before Eat the Ball, there had basically been no recent innovations on the bread market. This is why EtB is also referred to as “new generation bread”.

An important contribution to sustainability in the food industry

Bread is not particularly popular among today’s generation. As a result, EtB would like to jazz up this staple food of years gone by, especially for their young target group. Eat the Ball’s new bread-making technology is also making an important contribution to sustainability. The bread’s shelf life is an important step in the fight against food waste: the patented production process makes bread that naturally stays fresh for longer and contains valuable nutrients.

 

 

We share the same vision for future generations. That is also why we wanted to collaborate with people whose values are the same as ours. We can’t wait to see what the future has in store for us.
