I personally believe that positivity is a powerfully empowering energy. There are no boundaries for positive energy in opening up exciting opportunities and propelling great sustainable momentums in the right direction. Positive energy has the power to change the way people think, feel and act for the better.

This is why at Hakuhodo Indonesia we base our business endeavors on positive energy. This positivity is also the foundation for Hakuhodo Indonesia as a business entity. This foundation will grow stronger with time and will beget many exciting things for us in time.

Looking back at Hakuhodo Indonesia’s formative years, I can recall all the pitches we won and the ones that got away. Positive energy taught us that all these wins and losses were great learning curves. They helped us realize that success doesn’t happen overnight. Not just for one or two, or even 5 years, even after 14 years and until this very day, the effect of this positive energy is still apparent.

Every droplet of sweat that has fallen has been made to taste sweet by positive energy and resulted in the tremendous achievements we’ve garnered over the last 14 years. Achievements such as winning exciting high-profile accounts and seeing the company grow into a robust group of companies. The glorious moments finally arrived in 2011 and 2012, as Hakuhodo Indonesia was crowned Agency of the Year at Citra Pariwara, the highest accolade an agency can achieve in Indonesia. In addition, in 2016, Hakuhodo Indonesia was once again awarded Agency of the Year, not only at Citra Pariwara but also by Campaign Brief Asia. I hope these achievements can bring a positive outlook to Hakuhodo globally.

At the end of the day, as I enjoy my favorite cup of delicious coffee, I continuously remind myself that success comes from positive energy that has been perfected and proven through time.
