Meet Me in Media Kawasan






To the great Media Kawasan that creates a Blue Ocean market in the Indonesian media industry. Thank you for giving me the great opportunity to contribute and share my marketing knowledge and experience to the society. Thank you for giving me a chance to learn more about marketing. Thank you.

I am now a new contributor for Media Kawasan in the marketing section. The first column was published publicly in last March.

The basic idea to start writing is to share my knowledge and experience in marketing and business. I personally believe that I learn more by sharing. I do not call myself a marketing guru therefore I am more than happy to hear any feedback from my fellow readers.

Secondly, I would like to create a new image of marketing within the society. Most of the time people always relate marketing to salesmen-ship or advertisement. They are one of the ingredients of marketing but not the whole lot. In fact, marketing is actually needed by everyone. It has an important role in many life aspects such as career, business, fund raising, social works, and of course love.

I am still trying to write more in the other media such as Australian Marketing Magazine and newspaper. Therefore, wish me luck guys =)

The next column in Media Kawasan will be in May 2007. So, check it out!

Nice writing. Congratulations!

However I was wondering if it's okay to put a brand (SQ) name in a writing. Y'know, it's kinda like implicit ads.

Thanks for your comment. All the brands written in my column are just for examples only. By doing this I hope people could see clearly the correlation between the marketing principles that I try to do with the real life situation.
By all means I do not have any intention in promoting those companies. However, I do admit that they have done a great marketing strategy.

Cheers
