When Business Book and Comic Collide… Meet Johnny Bunko

Categories : Inspirations

“Have I really pushed the envelope as much as I want to? Not yet. That’s why I’m still creatively hungry” That’s the quote from Steven Spielberg that really inspired me to always try to look to for “Oh My Goodness” approach.

I feel so excited when I read my amazon.com recommendation, a new book from Daniel H. Pink (new favorite author on my list) who just made a great innovation by releasing a business parable book that morphs with a Japanese form of comic book like “Manga” style.

I’m happy coz I guess the book related to Lentera Jiwa (the song that i released recently through dr.m). Nowadays young people need to find right career as per their PASSION.

So I guess “The Adventures Of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You’ll Ever Need.” will be worth to read.. Now whether Kinokuniya already have it or I have to order through amazon.com? ;-p

macbook R

Categories : Inspirations

Hello guys, this afternoon Ceppy (ODS art director) came to the office with an excited expression. She showed me the new prototype of Macbook R. Yes, it is the new Macbook R, even newer than macbook air. You guys please just see the pictures I attach here, and enjoy. If any of you having interest to be the first to have it, please feel free to contact Octodesign Surabaya. It’s just crazy that this macbook had just been crashed by a car. This is not a photoshop edited, this is the true story. I myself just touched the ‘macbook R’ (Macbook Rusak/Rongsok) few minutes ago.

Can you get Big and stay Small?

Categories : Inspirations

According to Howard Schultz, the founder of Starbucks, “We have to balance Creativity and Entrepreneur with Process and Strategy”

Simple words I read on Business Week, which I subscribe digitally. With the growth of the business, how can we stay small?  It’s hard to refuse sexy projects that keep on coming.  It’s hard to keep on hiring employees; office won’t be enough again and again.

IMHO, we better stay small but keep on working on sexy projects in order to create success story for our clients.  Satisfied client will ‘promote’ us to another client.  Then we will focus on bigger project from time to time, working based on priorities prospect.

Small makes us easier to move. Easier to innovate.  Just like Octopus maybe, not like elephant :)

So, bigger office yes.  More employees? Have to think twice ;-p

Silent Disco 2005 & 2008

Categories : EventsInspirationsMarketing

Belum lama ini Coca Cola Zero melakukan brand activation yang bagus di acara Embassy Playground akhir February 2008 lalu.  Mereka mendatangkan DJ dari Belanda lengkap dengan perlengkapan Silent Disco yang tak lain adalah wireless headphone.

Yup, kalau orang bilang gak mungkin ada Coca Cola yang rasanya seenak Coca Cola tapi zero sugar - mungkin demikian pula dengan Silent Disco.  Awalnya pasti orang akan bilang tidak mungkin orang party tanpa menggangu orang lain, tapi melalui Silent Disco terbukti para clubbers bisa menikmati hingar bingar music ajep ajep tanpa mengganggu orang lain karena memang semuanya menggunakan wireless headphone :-)

Konsep Silent Disco ini sendiri sebenarnya pertama kali diperkenalkan di Glastonbury 2005 (Untuk detailnya bisa dibaca di http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_pictures/4623247.stm  lihat di foto no 7 dan 11)

Jadi apa mungkin nantinya ada Silent Disco permanent? Di apartment mungkin? Kalau di apartment asli belum pernah ada nih ;-p

Gravity Rules!

Categories : IdeaInspirationsInteractive

I think this has been going on for the past month. Troika has done a really nice project. Those guys has created a new Mac virus called Newton virus. Don’t worry this isn’t a dangerous virus, it’s just a prank virus, I think a lot of people wouldn’t mind to catch one.

Well, how bout virus for viral?
