#StartupLokal Meetup v.4: Communication

On why so few promising Indonesian startups get media exposure, in front of a hundred and forty-eight people. The question the room came for was how to be written about in print and on air at low cost, or at no cost at all. Rene Suhardono (career coach, author of Your Job is NOT Your Career) on personal branding; Waizly Darwin, senior consultant at MarkPlus&Co and later The Marketeers, on earning coverage; Silih Agung Wasesa (Asia PR) on public relations and new media. Moderated by Ollie. Jeannie Tan pitched KayaKarya and Chandra Marsono pitched Web.Dev.Academy.

Google sent Eugenie Lam (Regional Strategic Partner Manager), Charif El-Ansari (Head of Syndication and Partnerships, South East Asia) and Erika Oktora (AdWords Account Strategist). PC Media, The Marketeers, Info Komputer, CHIP, D~Net, the Jakarta Convention and Exhibition Bureau, Bangkok Bank, Telkom, AE Indopacific Edelman, Indonesia Tower and Bubu all sent someone too.
