Let’s Learn from Advertisement

Kompas, the biggest daily newspaper in
Indonesia has made special report on its last Sunday issue (6/5/07). Interesting, two full pages feature about advertising on page17-18. One under the title of “Mari Belajar dari Iklan” (“Let’s Learn from Advertisement”), and the other is “Hmmm, Mandom…! Hemmm, Iklan…!” (“Hmmm, Mandom…! Hemmm, Advertisement!”). For common Indonesian, maybe those feature could gave short view about advertising world. But for practician, maybe they even don’t need to look because what told on those articles are they everyday life. Only one thing I want to give comment. Actually we can learn from everything and everybody in this world. Everytime we could see something useful for us. This only happened to people who don’t blind themselves.
