Arguably the Most Awarded Indonesian Alive

He bagged the Silver Clio back in 2007, back when even silverware were still in our dreams. But he didn't stop there.

Yesterday he racked the Gold Lion, for his work with JWT New York. No more an Indonesia's first though, not this time.

But Roy Wisnu did get an Indonesian's first, ahem, Black Pencil from D&AD before this.

Simply legen-, wait for it, dary!

Hopefully Indonesian ad agencies will play catch up.

Gold Standard

Indonesia's first ever Gold Lion!

Never Send a Honda to Do a Mercedes' Job

As proven earlier this Sunday. Here's to Brawn GP F1 Team!

And when no one else had faith in this team, this guy had. Ain't that pure business instinct or what?!

Lifebuoy TV/C

Indonesia's first ever Gold in AdFest 2009, from Lowe Indonesia!

Next stop, Gold Lion? Fingers crossed, for sure.

And for all you peeps out there, yes it ran on national TV.

The Ever Elusive Metal

Not anymore. Global recognition is no longer unreachable for us.

Even though skipping Clio, JWT Indonesia followed up their breakthrough in this year's AdFest by cracking another Indonesia's first. This time a Media Bronze Lion (Single) at Cannes 2007 for Yayasan Rebana Indonesia's ambient, by the same Creative team.

And this time they're in good company, as DraftFCB Indonesia quickly followed up that act with another Outdoor Bronze Lion (Campaign) for their series of Big Babol posters.

Huge congratulations! Indonesia is finally, FINALLY, on the map. And Lion statues will actually decorate our comrades' desks permanently. (Last time I saw an actual Lion statue here in this country, it was Gavin Simpson's.)

Here's hoping for the Film Lions.

Love. Comes. Again!

Hips Never Lie Indeed

Doubt that Shakira can pull this one off. Her name is Inul, in case you don't know it yet.

The Elusive Metal

It took 10 AP AdFests for the Indonesian ad industry to finally deserve a metal. Earlier tonight, JWT Indonesia took the stage to receive a Bronze for this Sunsilk's Outdoor version Tow Truck (which was a Shortlist in Cannes Lions 2006 and won Outdoor Grand Prix in Citra Pariwara 2006).

Congratulations!

The mantra is always "Gold in Citra Pariwara should equal a minimum of Bronze in AP AdFest." Finally we got it right this time. Also, the selection of Lia Lenggogeni as one of the Judges proved to be right. At her age, she might just be Indonesia's answer to Jureeporn.

"My Boobs Are OK"

And my blood pressure just shot thru the roof!

The Simpsonzu

As interpreted by Space Coyote, from an original piece on the right. Let's see how aspiring Indonesian designers shall have a crack at this.

Who, Me?

No, not only me but all of you too. Yes people, all of us have been chosen as Time's Person of the Year, quite an achievement indeed.

But one question sure does arise, what did we do? What have we done to deserve this, the Pet Shop Boys might have asked.

Just because some people got intimate with blogging and YouTube and social networking sites, does that mean all 6+ billion of us deserve this?

Somehow, I got the feeling that we get credited for something which someone else did. And for me, that's not a good feeling.

Time to contribute more.
