the line!


Why is there a line? someone explain it to me....
I have heard of such things as:
Through the line
More than a line
Beyond the line
WHY A LINE
my take on it is
The moment we create a line, we create a boundary...we limit ourselves..
take a piece of paper...not matter what size or where you draw a line..you have suddenly created a boundary..you have split the paper....
By doing so we limit ourselves and make it harder for a holistic approach to advertsing...
sure for marketing 101 or sentimental reasons have a line, but other wise when we approach the brief lets not start with a line...actually lets not have a line at all
its not about ATL, BTL its about 360!
this is where planning should come in... I truly belive a planner should be
MEDIA NEUTRAL and CONSUMER CENTRIC

Floods in j-town




These are photos of the flooding near my house, we were not affected that badly so that is good. But my thoughts go out to all those who were affected by the floods... hope everyone is ok
(the pool was not brown before !?)

Indonesia

I recently saw this ad in an in- flight magazine. Let me write the copy first as it may be hard to read:

Natural Views, Lots of "Ooooh's"!

Another unique Indonesian Travel Experience

Wherever you go throughout the Indonesian archipelago you will be greeted by a myriad of different experiences from nature and from modern shopping and entertainment complexes, making each holiday unique and unforgettable.


Now I love Indonesia, I have lived here for 18 years now (was brought up here) left and came back to work. So I am very disappointed at the ads they are making to attract travelers from around the world. What i would like is that everyone gives their opinion on how to improve it or what angle they should take (it is easier to criticize than make). So all planners out there or anyone else write your comments and let’s hope some one listens and Indonesia will be promoted the way it should be...

(Another thing is that why do they have so many website addresses and bad English copy!)
Anyway enough of my ranting and raving lets here from you guys....
