This campaign is also to celebrate Indonesia’s 71st Independence Day anniversary on 17 August 2016. It is also designed to increase people’s love for domestic products and stimulate domestic consumption.

    Indonesia is a country of big numbers and big opportunity. With 252 million inhabitants it is the world’s fourth most populous country and the largest in south east Asia. Indonesia has 18,307 islands, over 742 different languages and a middle class larger than the population of Malaysia or Australia. Currently the 16th largest economy in the world, it is projected to be the seventh largest economy in the world by 2030.

Mr. Sofyan Djalil as the Indonesia State Enterprise Minister once said he supported any form of program that boost love for the country’s products. “So far, people are not aware that the quality of Indonesian products is already good. I appeal to all state-owned companies to really take the opportunity, provide funds and put up the logo in their ads. They must do whatever they can to make the campaign effective,” he said.

    On the other hand, this campaign also means to promote national products abroad. In making an effective on this goal, The Company is also collaborating with overseas partners such as in Singapore to assist SMEs to expand their businesses internationally especially in South East Asia (SEA).

    Mr. Deny Rahardjo, CEO for PT KinerjaPay Indonesia stated “We are very excited and optimist on the success of this campaign to promote Indonesia’s selected local prominent and unique merchants such as Batik, Indonesian coffee bean and handcrafted products. There are currently already more than 418 premium products and 14 prominent merchants have agreed to join the campaign that is planned to run until end of 2016. We do hope that this will bring positive impact towards local economy while promoting KinerjaPay as brand of trust.”

  • ‘Wonderful Indonesia’ campaign boosts tourism industry

    ‘Wonderful Indonesia’ campaign boosts tourism industry

    The government’s efforts to promote tourism in the archipelago with its Wonderful Indonesia campaign have had a positive impact, the president director of tour and travel company Panorama Sentrawisata said on Tuesday.

    Budi Tirtawisata said that in the first six months of this year, his company booked a 19 percent increase in gross revenue to Rp 2.38 trillion, from Rp 1.99 trillion in the same period last year, as more foreigners were drawn to Indonesia.

    “The government’s free visa policy is also contributing to growth in the tourism sector,” Budi told reporters at a press conference in Jakarta.

    Budi was upbeat the company’s business volume would increase, and possibly double, in the second half of 2016, compared to the first half, because more tourism activities were expected to take place in the period.

    “The peak season for tourist visits to Indonesia is during the summer, which occurs in the second half of the year,” Budi said, adding that more tourists would also visit the country during the Christmas holidays in December.

  • Ksubaka’s PlaySpots Deliver Friso Gold Engagement Campaign

    Ksubaka’s PlaySpots Deliver Friso Gold Engagement Campaign

    Ksubaka today announced that it has successfully delivered an interactive in-store engagement campaign in CRV, WuMart and MerryMart retail stores in China for Friso Gold.

    The objectives:

    The campaign objectives were to attract in-store shoppers to a Friso Gold interactive experience and communicate to mums that Friso helps prevent heat and constipation in babies because the Friso Gold molecules are smaller and easier to digest.

    Equally as important, was to collect data through an onscreen shopper survey to verify that the Friso Gold Interactive Experience was effectively reaching the target audience and educate new potential customers about the product benefits.

    The campaign experience:

    Ksubaka designed a Friso Gold interactive experience, which was provisioned over-the-air to 231 playSpots across 37 retail stores (comprising a mix of CRV, WuMart and MerryMart) within the Ksubaka media network. The gameplay involved catching as many small Friso molecules as possible within 30 seconds, while avoiding the larger molecules falling from a competitor’s product. Shoppers caught the molecules by moving a baby back and forth on bottom of the screen. To emphasise the difference between small and large molecules, when the baby caught the Friso molecules they smiled and raised their hands in happiness and when they caught the large molecules the frowned and cried. 

    At end of the gameplay, key product messages were reiterated along with a pack shot and the shopper was offered a 1 for 1 discount by scanning a WeChat QR Code to get a coupon. The short survey was then displayed on-screen asking shoppers for a little information on their preferences.   

    The results:

    Working to a set of agreed KPIs, the Ksubaka Friso Gold 31 day campaign delivered:

    • Campaign Exposures – 4.4 million +193% on KPI
    • Shopper Impressions – 6.6 million +200% on KPI
    • Mojo engagement – 82K +64% on KPI (Mojo is a completed shopper brand engagement that ends at the reward screen)
    • Total number of surveys completed 1.3k

    “The Friso Gold campaign is an excellent example of how Ksubaka is able to drive mass consumer engagement at the point of purchase while, at the same time, giving live and meaningful insight for brands,” said Julian Corbett, CEO and founder, Ksubaka.

    Oscar Lawalata displayed 60 personal classic textile collections from various regions in Indonesia.

    After the Wonderful Indonesia program, the event continued with a business meeting between the two countries.

    The Indonesian delegation was led by Kuswara, accompanied by Hirmansyah Sambudhy Thaib, the chairman of the working group for development acceleration of 10 national tourism destinations.

They were offered investment opportunities in Indonesia’s Tourism Special Economic Zone, now being developed in 10 tourism destinations.

  • Sunseap Group launches SAVE Campaign

    Sunseap Group launches SAVE Campaign

    Sunseap unveiled its first marketing campaign simply titled, “SAVE” in line with the company’s launch of their clean energy retail offering. Sunseap conducted extensive surveys, and “SAVE” reflects the insights of many individuals’ and corporations’ desire to help protect the environment and fight climate change and save in the process of doing so – a mind-set that is aligned at the very core with the company’s ethos.

    The heavy reliance on the burning of fossil fuels has led to the rise in carbon dioxide levels and global warming. While many businesses wish do their part to save the environment for future generations and at the same time, save on electrical bills or upfront cost, many do not find ready solutions.

    More, recently, listed corporations have also been mandated by Singapore Exchange (SGX) to publish sustainability reports by 2017/2018.

    Frank Phuan, Managing Director of Sunseap Group, explained, “Sunseap’s SAVE campaign will make clean energy more accessible to everyone. Regardless of which industry the business lies in or whichever energy retailer the business is buying power from, anyone can utilize clean energy readily at competitive prices without any upfront costs. Building owners can save electricity bills via an on-site power purchase agreement (PPA) with Sunseap and the solar systems can be installed on the rooftop to provide competitively priced clean energy in the day.”

    Kicking off as one of the early adopters of the SAVE Campaign is Panasonic Appliances Refrigeration Devices Singapore (Panasonic), where Sunseap has installed a 2.4 MW system, spanning more than 20,000 square meters of rooftop area.

    In order to put the size of this project into perspective, the 2.4 MWp system is able to power close to 7,000 HDB households with its annual energy generation capacity of more than 3 Gigawatt hours (GWh). As a huge power consumer with operations running 24 hours all year round, Panasonic is able to offset close to 10 per cent of its peak energy needs. At the same time, this project will further demonstrate Panasonic’s commitment towards environmental sustainability. Sunseap hopes this project to be the first of many other collaborations with Panasonic to come.

    Atsunao Terasaki, Managing Director, Panasonic Appliances Refrigeration Devices Singapore, said, “This is the first time Panasonic is participating in a solar leasing agreement with a clean energy provider. Our partnership with Sunseap reflects the company’s commitment in integrating environmental sustainability with business growth. With the government’s vision to utilise solar energy to power 5% of Singapore’s peak electricity demand by 2020, we hope this will encourage more businesses and industries to adopt solar.”

    Other than Panasonic, Housing Development Board (HDB), Singapore American School, ABB, Sakae Holdings and Jurong Port are just some names that have taken that step to save the environment with Sunseap.

    Through the SAVE campaign, Sunseap hopes to create awareness of the cost efficiencies of solar energy in Singapore and invoke action to revolutionize the local energy supply to help SAVE the environment, reduce carbon footprint and electrical bills at the same time

    Lawrence Wu, Director of Sunseap Group, “Sunseap’s unique proposition of providing clean energy accumulated from rooftop farms scattered across the island will continue allow clients to enjoy the benefits of renewable energy even without installing solar energy systems on limited roof spaces and in a country where land is extremely scarce and precious. Sunseap can now potentially offset 100% of anyone’s electricity carbon footprint – something deemed impossible in the past. This is made possible with Sunseap clean energy retail offering.”

    The journey of Solarizing Singapore is being catalyzed by Sunseap as it has installed solar systems on building rooftops and this is fast reaching the thousandth mark, and in doing so the power grid is being “greenified” as there is a large amount of clean energy being fed into the grid. As a Market Participant Retailer (MPR) authorised by Energy Market Authority (EMA) and registered with the Energy Market Company (EMC), Sunseap is able to resell the clean energy generated via their off-site generation solar plants to contestable consumers who are interested procuring electricity from a clean energy producer.

    Deploying a 1 MW solar system (estimated one football field area) is equivalent to reducing 500 tons of carbon emission or planting 20,000 trees in Singapore each year. As such, Sunseap’s 80MW of contracted capacity translates to helping SAVE Singapore 400,000 tons of carbon emission annually, savings for it’s clients and is equivalent to planting 1.6 million trees each year.

    The SAVE campaign by Sunseap is timely as a key meeting dubbed COP21, held in Paris in early December 2015, will see the world’s leaders congregate for “a new international agreement on the climate, applicable to all countries, with the aim of keeping global warming below 2 degrees Celsius.”
