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

WHAT AN AD!!! WOW

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....

A WARNING

Bad Ads

here are a couple of ads i got from my CD...

What do you think?

Why i started this blog

The reason i started this blog was basically to create an entity for all planners to talk..especially in Indonesia.
I think we are really lacking in that space, so here it is a blog for all who are thinking to plan or planning to think!
Hope it works out...have big plans for all planners in Indo..lets talk, share stories...and of course have fun!

Consumers are ready, the question is are we?

Love this photo i saw somewhere on the net...
It shows the younger age group are so diverse and ready for all things...
we advertisers need to be aware to this fact!

Rockin Ad

had to put this ad on, it was done by OgilvyOne in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Well done guys..its fantastic.....

For people who have never seen it look closely at the bottom on the image...WOW huh

I took this photo on the helipad... with my phone...

Jakarta looks pretty huh... was a clear day rather unusual

First blog

Woohoo finally made the effort to start my own blog!

Well for now that will be my only posting lets see how often i update it...
