How Do Unicorn Startups Grow So Fast in Indonesia?
As of January 2019, there are currently over 300 unicorn startups in the world.
Indonesia is the country with the highest number of unicorn startups in Southeast Asia. There are currently four unicorns based out of this country, which are:
- Go-Jek, an on-demand transport and logistics service,
- Traveloka, a transport, hotel, and leisure booking platform,
- BukaLapak, a customer-to-customer (C2C) online marketplace, and
- Tokopedia, another C2C online marketplace.
This doesn't include the many unicorns originating from other countries that have set up shops in Indonesia, such as Singapore's Grab, India's Zomato, or China's ByteDance.
Unicorn startups are growing fast in Indonesia.
Startups in Indonesia have been growing exponentially. Go-Jek has reached milestones such as hosting over two billion transactions a year and a 13.5x increase in gross transaction value from 2016 to 2018. Their app has accumulated over 142 million downloads; over half of Indonesia's population.
For comparison, BukaLapak claims to process two million orders a day and 50 million total registered users. As of January 2019, their gross merchandise value was reaching US$283 million per month.
What is it about Indonesia that makes it so favorable for unicorns to grow quickly?
Their north star for growth is speed.
Indonesia's market is big, but so is the competition. In 2018, there's estimated to be up to 2,000 active startups in Indonesia.
In other words, whatever you build in Indonesia, chances are someone else is already doing more or less the same thing. One way you can stand out is by growing as big as possible, as quickly as possible.
John Fitzpatrick, head of Google Cloud's Startup Program in Asia, believes that Indonesia's most successful unicorn startups have something he calls a 'transformational mindset.'
Most companies have a 'migration mindset' where their strategy for growth is simply getting from point A from point B. For these unicorns, however, there's no point B. They're constantly accelerating and innovating new ways to grow.
Go-Jek, for example, started as a motorcycle ride-hailing phone service in 2010. Since then, however, they've focused on being a 'super app' offering other services such as food delivery, grocery shopping, and even on-demand make-up artists. As of 2019, the Go-Jek ecosystem contains about two dozen different product lines with no signs of stopping there.
In Go-Jek's case, this strategy allowed it – together with its chief competitor, Grab – to maintain large market shares by the time Uber entered Indonesia in 2016. If they hadn't grown so much, these two companies probably wouldn't have been able to become the tough competition that contributed to Uber's exit from Southeast Asia in 2018.
Indonesia's unicorn startups embrace familiar ideas.
Indonesia has a diverse population with many different consumption habits. If a company wants to scale across Indonesia, they need to be able to relate to any demographic. That's why Indonesia's most successful startups are building brands that are local, familiar, and accessible.
According to a study by McKinsey, 60 percent of Indonesians claim to prefer local brands. Familiarity matters a lot to Indonesian consumers. We can see this in how the main idea among Indonesia's unicorns is simply providing platforms for products or services that locals are already familiar with.
While commercial ride-sharing might be a novel idea in the West – which allowed Uber to gain the traction it did – the same thing isn't true in Indonesia. Motorbike taxis had been a staple of Indonesian urban transport for decades by the time Go-Jek came around. All Go-Jek did at first was try to make it more convenient.
This can be found in Indonesia's other unicorn startups as well. At their core, Traveloka allows people to buy tickets and book hotels, while BukaLapak and Tokopedia allow people to buy and sell things online. These are all simple concepts that any potential customer can easily grasp.
However, McKinsey's research also stated that the perception of being local also matters. Grab, for example, is a foreign company in Indonesia that also operates on ride-sharing. Despite their foreign origins, Grab's familiar and local-friendly business model still helped them grow considerably in Indonesia.
They utilize local businesses.
In scaling across the country, most Indonesia's unicorn startups are tapping into a pillar of the country's economy: small and medium enterprises or SMEs. SMEs comprise about 99 percent of business units and 90 percent of jobs in Indonesia.
This is a sector that always needs support, development, and organization; all things that tech platforms can provide. But for Indonesia's unicorn startups, empowering SMEs goes beyond creating social impact. It can also be a central and lucrative part of their business models.
In the case of e-commerce, for example, an in-house supply and warehousing model like Amazon would be challenging to scale quickly in Indonesia. Indonesia's high disparity in infrastructure development means that building logistics and infrastructure will be hurdles that such companies have to deal with.
BukaLapak and Tokopedia use a customer-to-customer marketplace model, which means that goods are directly delivered by local sellers and SMEs. They also cooperate with third-party logistics partners to handle delivery. This helped allow them to more efficiently expand their ecosystem across Indonesia.
Go-Jek similarly incorporates SMEs into their business model, such as through their Go-Food product line. Functioning similarly to Deliveroo or Uber Eats, this service uses Go-Jek's vehicle fleet to deliver products not only from major restaurants but also food and beverage SMEs.
Indonesia's market has big potential.
However, these strategies probably wouldn't have worked if not for Indonesia's large and flexible market. Indonesia's massive consumer base means that there's room for any startup to scale, as long as they play their cards right.
Indonesia is a very prospective place to build a business in, but not necessarily a simple one. There are a lot of legal and bureaucratic hurdles you'll need to face; luckily, you don't have to do it alone. Our network of consultants is here to help.

About the Playing
It's about ninety minutes before Blondie's set at the Sea.Hear.Now festival in Asbury Park, New Jersey. It's a beautiful early fall afternoon, and being at the Jersey Shore has put Garden State native Clem Burke in a reflective mood.
Burke is recalling the strange-bedfellow support slots Blondie occupied back in the day opening shows for Rush and Genesis in Philadelphia; Blondie's first and only time (before today) playing Asbury Park in 1978; and his own adventures as a young man in the storied town located about fifty miles south from his hometown of Bayonne.
"As a teenager I would come here a lot, sleep on the beach," Burke says. "I saw a lot of shows at the Sunshine Inn, the Wonder Bar, and the Stone Pony. I didn't know Bruce then, but all the stuff that he wrote about early on, I could relate to."
The Bruce he's referring to is, of course, Bruce Springsteen, who cut his musical teeth on the Asbury Park club circuit in the late '60s and early '70s. Burke will catch up with the Boss the next day, when he turns up at the festival unannounced to sit in with Social Distortion. "Bruce told me I looked good," Burke says with a chuckle over the phone a couple of weeks later. "I take that as a compliment. I told him I was trying to keep up with him."
Since Springsteen has spent the past year telling stories on Broadway while seated, not traversing the globe at a whirlwind pace to play the drums seemingly every chance he gets, maybe it's him that should try to keep up with Burke. When Blondie takes the stage at Sea.Hear.Now, the sixty-four-year-old drummer leads the charge, rolling and smashing his way across his kit, twirling his sticks, and still looking every bit the youthful mod before the band launches into a revved-up "One Way or Another." For the next hour, Burke provides an unflinching pulse as the Debbie Harry–fronted band pivots from the disco groove of "Heart of Glass" to the tropical rhythm of "The Tide Is High" to the sleek, sequenced shuffle of "Call Me" to the hip-hop flirtations of "Rapture." For good measure, Burke also whips metronomic heat into "Atomic" and delivers power-pop histrionics on "Hanging on the Telephone."
After watching Blondie tear through a sixty-minute set, we're reminded of two things. First, as genre-bending iconoclasts go, few have enjoyed the success and lasting influence that Blondie has. And second, precious few drummers are bringing the heat after forty-plus years in the game like Clem Burke is bringing it.
Chalk it up to an unrelenting schedule so chock-full of gigs and sessions that Burke can't help but keep his skills razor sharp. We get an intimate glimpse of that workload in My View, the recently released documentary chronicling Burke's career, from his roots in New Jersey, to international superstardom with Blondie, to post-Blondie stints with the Eurythmics and Ramones in the '80s, to the multiple gigs he currently juggles. The cameras capture Burke in near-constant motion, working at a pace that would leave some drummers one-third his age gasping for air: pounding the drums with Blondie in front of 80,000 people at London's Hyde Park; jogging in the streets of New York City to keep fit; playing club gigs; in the taxi on the way to the airport to catch a plane to the next gig; recording; and woodshedding with a pick-up band in a cramped rehearsal room for a one-off show.
The legendary rock photographer Bob Gruen says in My View, "Whenever you see Clem, he's on his way somewhere, or he just got back from somewhere and he's going somewhere else tomorrow." That's about right. In 2019, that "somewhere" could be a Blondie- curated festival in Cuba or the Cayman Islands, or a gig in a tiny club with one of several side bands Burke plays in, like the Split Squad, the Empty Hearts, or the Tearaways. Or it could be a U.K. theater tour, like the one he just completed as the guest drummer with the Blondie tribute band Bootleg Blondie. (Clem was donating his proceeds to charity.) "I enjoy the dichotomy of playing to a hundred people in a club," says Burke, "then all of a sudden I'm playing to 80,000 people at a festival. It makes you appreciate each thing individually.
"I also go back to Earl Palmer," Burke adds. "He was my role model. He played across from NBC in Burbank every Tuesday at a place called Chadney's. He played in the lounge. Jim Keltner and Charlie Watts would come in and purposely sit on the side to watch him work. There'd be a lot of kids from PIT. I saw Carol Kaye sit in. Here's a guy that played with Frank Sinatra and Little Richard, did the Ritchie Valens stuff like "La Bamba," did all the stuff in New Orleans, the "Flintstones" theme, and he's playing in a club to fifty people, really enjoying it and passing the baton in a way. Earl was a big, big learning curve for me. And such a gentleman. I think about him doing that in relation to what I do. And I say, Why not? As long as I can do it, I might as well keep doing it. As long as it's fun and the people are my friends. I love it. It's about playing."
MD: Was there any self-consciousness about being the subject of a documentary, giving filmmakers that kind of access? Everybody shares so much of themselves today. Whereas the players you loved—Dino Danelli, Carmine Appice, Hal Blaine, Earl Palmer—no one knew really knew much about them. There was something cool about that air of mystery.
Clem: I was going back and forth with it. I had the luxury of deciding on the final edit. I let my wife, Ellen; my tech, Rick; and my best friend, Merwin, watch it before I watched it. I asked them what they thought, and they thought it represented me. I had to resign myself to the fact that these guys were going to follow me around and film me. I had to forget, as much as I could, the self-consciousness of it all and just go for it. And I like how it came out. It's kind of like my "Behind the Music" without the sex and drugs, or the rise and fall.
MD: Were there sex and drugs left on the cutting-room floor?
Clem: I suppose there were references made to such things. It's been a long career.
MD: But you've always seemed to have your stuff together, best as I can tell.
Clem: Yeah, I've always been very wary of falling off the edge. Everybody needs a role model. People like Keith Moon and John Bonham, they're role models on multiple levels. It shows you what not to do. Your amazing talent and your amazing band and your amazing luck in the music business— to not really realize what that's all about and go over the edge is very sad. Then you have people like Hal Blaine and Earl Palmer. Hal's still thriving. Earl thrived into his eighties. Enjoyed life, enjoyed playing.
MD: It's hard to think about you and not think of Keith Moon—your look, your style, you played a Premier kit for so long. You owned that influence. I always thought you would've made a great drummer for the Who. Had anyone suggested that to you when Keith died, or in the ensuing years?
Clem: People have said that. I was actually at the party in London when Kenney Jones officially joined the Who. So I was around. But that was the heyday of Blondie. I was asked to join up with various other bands during the heyday of Blondie, but I was always about trying to start my own band. I've done it now, with the Empty Hearts, for instance, and I did it with Chequered Past. At the height of Blondie I was trying to form a band with Eric Faulkner from the Bay City Rollers and Glen Matlock from the Sex Pistols, and the missing link was always Paul Weller. We were always trying to get Paul Weller. In the end it finally worked out for the Who. Zak Starkey is absolutely the perfect drummer for them. I've known him a long time. I thought Simon Phillips was a little over the top. A great drummer, but maybe a little too technical for the Who.
MD: Your love of classic bands and classic drummers has always been very palpable, and it comes across in the documentary. What are some new bands and new drummers you're into?
Clem: I think the Struts are a really good rock 'n' roll band. There's a band from L.A. called Prima Donna that I like. I think Ronnie Vannucci from the Killers is an amazing drummer in the style that I like. And I like Fabrizio Moretti from the Strokes. I think his simplicity is great. And he's obviously not new, but I like Jeremy Stacey. I saw him play with King Crimson when I was in Stockholm recently, with the three drummers—that was amazing. He's one of my favorites.
MD: The documentary covers how you were playing out when you were fourteen and played Carnegie Hall after winning a battle of the bands. What else were you up to before you hooked up with Blondie? I know you had auditioned for LaBelle at one point.
Clem: I was going to college and living at home in New Jersey; I was eighteen-ish. I started at Jersey City University and transferred to NYU. I was perusing the "Musicians Wanted" ads in the Village Voice. I auditioned for LaBelle, I auditioned for Patti Smith, and I auditioned for Beatlemania. My look was kind of reminiscent of that period. I'm not a singer, but I went down and sat in with the band. At the time I was studying electronic music, acting, media, modern dance. I never thought, I'm going to become an actor or a dancer. It was just a way to stretch a bit, creatively. I think that's what made me really drawn to meeting [Blondie guitarist and singer] Chris Stein and Debbie Harry. I sensed their creativity. They were artistic, and they had charisma, but they weren't fully formed. There's something to that.
MD: The Lower East Side artistic community seemed to be a real hot house for creativity in the early to mid '70s, for writers, actors, and bands like Blondie and Talking Heads and Television.
Clem: It was a workshop at CBGB, and you could make your mistakes in public. That's how we developed. We were rough and ready. That's lacking a lot now with musicians. People expect things to be fully formed, on both ends. Record companies expect demos that are release-quality. Performance-wise, they think they want to see something from, like, Star Search or Pop Idol, whatever those shows are.
MD: Blondie was the old-school archetype. You were able to woodshed in the clubs, you got a record deal, and it took a few records for everything to really click and take off. And even when it did, you didn't follow a formula; you kept on experimenting.
Clem: It's hard to believe we've had four number-one singles [in the U.S.], and each one is different from the other. None of them had to do with what people would think of as "CBGB's Blondie.""Heart of Glass" was a disco song. "The Tide Is High" was reggae. Then you had "Call Me," which is a rock/dance song or something. It was the first time we went in and played with pre- programmed synthesizer tracks.
MD: Are those 16th-note hi-hats on "Call Me" overdubbed?
Clem: The 16th notes are overdubbed. I basically played the shuffle first, with the fills. Then I overdubbed the 16th-note hi-hats.
MD: That makes me feel better. I've tried to play that groove with the 16th-note hats many times, and it's hard.
Clem: It's also difficult for people to play it the way I play it, being left-handed and leading with my left hand. My tech's a great drummer, but when he tried to play the "Call Me" beat he couldn't get it quite right because of the [sticking]. The one thing I do try to practice is leading with my right hand. I try to practice that a lot.
MD: You mention "Heart of Glass," and then "Rapture" came a couple of years later. A lot of rock bands were dabbling in dance music and disco around that time, but I don't think anyone did it as well as you guys. And I think it all came down to the drums. You played like a rock drummer that seemed pretty conversant in dance music. Were you out in the clubs soaking it up?
Clem: Club 82 was kind of the spawning ground for the whole New York rock scene after the Mercer Arts Center closed. I'd be there. That place was essentially a gay disco. They would have bands one night a week— Wayne County, the Backstreet Boys, the New York Dolls, the Magic Tramps…. The music that they would play when the rock 'n' roll bands weren't playing was disco—"Rock the Boat,""Shame, Shame, Shame"—the whole litany of great dance records from that era. And Bowie was already experimenting with dance music around then with the Young Americans album. That's a prime example of the type of dance music I liked. "Fascination" on Young Americans was incredible. I saw that tour. That was pretty inspirational.
That was stuff that was influencing all of us in Blondie. And that whole Saturday Night Fever album was so inspirational. I always say that's where I finally figured out how to play "Heart of Glass" properly. Though it's debatable how that happened. The producer, Mike Chapman, claims it was his idea, but I know I was listening to that stuff.
We weren't listening to Journey, we weren't listening to Rush—although, we did open for Rush, but that's not what I aspired to. I wanted to be like the drummer in Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars [Mick Woodmansey], I didn't want to be like Neil Peart.
MD: One would think that with a career-spanning documentary, you've given some consideration to your legacy. What would you want your legacy to be?
Clem: The legacy of Blondie is the music. And, as cliché as it may be, Debbie's iconic image. My legacy alone? It's something I never did think about until lately. Over the last handful of years with Blondie, we've gotten all these awards. It started with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and I got inducted into the Bayonne High School Hall of Fame. When you start looking at it, you do start thinking about your mortality and legacy and things like that. How I'd like to be remembered is that I really didn't [screw] people over. That I was a quote-unquote "good guy." I've tried to be that way as much as possible. But I've got a long way to go yet. I'm gonna live forever, ya know?

We are currently working on the branding for a new charity campaign launch which will be through the simple use of a logo and some merchandise, but it has got me thinking about what I think makes a great charity marketing campaign...
There have been so many amazing and successful campaigns but here is my list of campaigns that have inspired me, grabbed my attention recently, or ones that I have never forgotten.
These are in no particular order and are a mix of media - from illustrated motion video, to public art, and web apps – and are for a mix of animal, environmental, human rights and public information campaigns.
(PLEASE NOTE: The work here is NOT by Boo&Stu – but by many other fab design agencies which are credited where possible).
about anna
Anna Celeste Watson is Boo&Stu's Web & Graphic Designer
Born in West Sussex and now living in Dorset, Anna graduated from Wimbledon School of Art in 2000 with a degree in Fine Art: Painting where she specialised in Film & Video. She worked as the Video Editor for Travel TV at Teddington Studios creating broadcast documentaries for Sky TV and online content, until 2001, when she developed an interest in creating websites. Anna then worked for 3 years as a Web Designer for Fresh Egg Ltd in Worthing (now listed in the Top 100 Digital Agencies) before going fully freelance, and in 2015 officially combined forces with her Graphic Designer partner Stu to form Boo&Stu.
In September 2011 leading farm animal welfare charity Compassion in World Farming won the Big Bus Challenge with an advert designed by Elvis Communications, chosen from among hundreds of competition entries.
The advert aimed to encourage people to support their work against long distance live animal transport and was displayed on buses across London. The ad was made to look as though sheep were crammed on to the bus alongside the text "For many, it's standing room only. Stop Live Exports", as well as other text on the side of the bus saying "They can't ring the bell when they want to get off".
It seems such a simple but wonderfully direct and effective idea – literally showing the real-life situation for many of our farm animals, and in a stressful and intense situation that means the audience could easily emphasise with what the animals go through.
I first saw this flash animation by Whale and Dolphin Conservation a few years ago and the beauty and simplicity of it, feeling like you are directly looking into the eye of the whale and seeing it close up as if you were yourself swimming right next to it, completely blew me away. I am so pleased they have carried it over to their new website.
Click here to view the WDC life-size blue whale (you will need flash player installed though so it won't work on Apple unfortunately).
I found this award winning campaign through Twitter this Spring 2015 and it is such a clever idea that really gets people to engage and donate to charity. Like most good ideas it seems so simple and is beautifully executed.
Misereor are an organisation in the USA who are fighting against poverty and injustice. Design agency Kolle Rebbe created an Interactive Charity Donation Billboard called 'The Social Swipe'. The digital poster has a split in the middle that allows individuals to swipe their credit card which activates a video sequence reacting to the swipe and shows how the donation would actually help someone in need – whether it is to help feed bread to someone who is in poverty, or to free someone from the shackles of their slavery.
The idea is that it can help to solve a very real problem that people can't always visualise where their donation is going, and I imagine through the simple act of swiping their card they feel like they are taking direct hands-on action to do good.
This was a fantastic bit of public art in Bristol, overseen by Wild in Art. Sixty gorilla sculptures were created as part of their 'Wow! Gorillas' event to celebrate Bristol Zoo's 175th birthday.
The piece that really caught my eye was one I saw in Computer Arts magazine called 'Going Gone Gorilla' (above) by graphic designer Tom Lane from Ginger Monkey. He decorated a gorilla with hand drawn lettering relating to the illegal bushmeat trade in Africa. The life-size sculpture was then covered in a heat-sensitive black paint to make an interactive show-piece located in the heart of the city centre.
Getting a whole load of different artists or designers to decorate a life-size animal scuplture is not a new idea – I saw the same thing with cows in Bilbao in Spain back in around 2001, but it is an incredibly effective way to capture the public's imagination and raise awareness, and of course opens it up to a whole array of different responses to the same initial blank canvas, which I think will always make things really exciting.
WWF had a 'Pandamonium' project back in Autumn 2009 that was very similar in concept to 'Wow! Gorillas', in that they took one animal as a subject and asked various artists to create art – in this case by asking very well known artists to re-imagine their defunct giant panda collection boxes (including the one above by Gary Hume) and exhibiting them in an traditional art gallery setting. WWF have created so many amazing campaigns and they were the first ever charity I was inspired to support as a child back in about 1987!
I also really love the WWF Together app for iPad – as soon as I got my ipad I had to download it! Created by international design agency Akqa, the WWF Together app includes interactive stories of endangered animals, with playful interactive elements that incorporate the iPad's unique features. Origami of each animal folds up, creating an animated video you can share on social networks to spread the word. Complete with stunning high-definition, full-screen videos and image galleries, along with cool and unusual animal facts, this is one seriously visual and elegant app, that has a very serious message to share.
I always take notice of TV ads by the NSPCC but whilst looking for one to share here, I stumbled across a recent campaign called 'Share Aware' which aims to encourage adults to help their children stay safe on social networks, apps and games.
Leo Burnett Change produced two online one minute videos via YouTube which use cartoon style animation, which is shocking in itself when you compare the innocence of the children portrayed in the videos with the serious implications of the message. I guess it has been created in the same vein as the 1970s 'Charlie Says' public information films, which were specifically designed to speak to children. There is one called 'I saw your Willy' but the one of 'Lucy and the Boy' where a little girl who is mad about pandas almost gets lured into meeting an adult stranger who wants her to send him inappropriate photos in her panda onesie, made me cry.
Apparently #ShareAware was mentioned more than 10,000 times on Twitter during the first month of the campaign which shows how important social networks are as a tool to sharing campaign messages and spreading awareness.
Design agency Crush Creative (whose work I have always admired – Boo&Stu have a few graphic design books hanging around our studio that were laid out by them) were asked by Greenpeace to create a 'Save the Arctic' video and website to tell the world about Shell's plan to deal with the "dodgy" Russian oil company Gasprom to drill for oil in the arctic. The video was created to be syndicated around the world and re-languaged to be shared virally in the hope of exposing Shell's Russian Arctic plans. And it worked – big time!!!
The illustrated video uses contemporary trends of geometric shapes in a 3D origami style to make a stylish and memorable animation. But then Greenpeace always do amazing campaigns, so we wouldn't expect anything less!
'The Lonely Dodo' is a great video animation (embedded in a simple but visual website) narrated by Stephen Fry and Alistair McGowan, which tells the story of the last lonesome Dodo bird from Mauritius. He searches the world far and wide in the hope of finding another of his kind to share his life.
I think it's the sadness of the lost hope and repetition of him asking 'Dodo?' to all the other animals that really pulls on the heartstrings and makes you share the video's sentiment that they don't want any more animals to become extinct like the Dodo. Indeed, the campaign simply asks for a share on social networks to spread awareness.
It was created by brand agency The Frameworks and animated by Aardman who make Wallace & Gromit and Shaun the Sheep so you know it's going to be good and have a wide appeal.
The non-profit Ad Council in the USA led a group of brands to launch a series of public service announcements on behalf of their 'Love Has No Labels' digital-first campaign. On Valentines 2014 they filmed people in Santa Monica watching a large x-ray screen created by R/GA, turning on to reveal two skeletons embracing. When they walk out from behind the screen, the audience discovers who they are – highlighting different pairings and encouraging viewers to take a closer look at their own bias.
The public spectacle was designed to fight prejudice between people of different race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, and ability – and show that we are all the same. Apparently the campaign has had a reach of more than 8 million people on Twitter and counting. I found it myself through Facebook and its feel-good factor with the use of music and showing people's reactions as part of the overall viral, which makes it inspiring and makes you want to share it.
Last Summer 2014 The Great British Bee Count app for Friends of the Earth's The Bee Cause campaign created a real buzz – literally! Created by design agency twothirdswater and probably helped hugely by being promoted on BBC's Springwatch, I think the app's success is the result of the fantastic design as a simple, bright, bold and fun app that kids could use too.
People were asked to submit their bee sightings to help create a detailed map to monitor what is happening to bee populations and different species. The app also gave tips on what flowers to plant to help replenish our bee's lost habitat.
The RSPB also did a fantastically designed app for their Big Garden Birdwatch last year which Stu and I enjoyed using to count the species of birds visiting our garden over a one hour period.
Getting people simply counting up, or taking photos of, wildlife (in this case) is such a great way to get people feeling directly involved, and of course hopefully they share their findings with friends and family on their social networks and thus help get even more people involved.
...So that's my list of great charity campaigns, at least for now!
Infographics are another great way to share information, data or campaign news, so look out in future for Boo&Stu's guide to creating infographics as well as our guides to planning your website and more favourite art and design classics (when we get some more time, but for now it's back to our own design work!!!)...

What I Do
Visual storytelling is a love I have nurtured all along. From VHS tapes to mini dvs to CDs to memory card, medium has changed, my style has transformed, however, the passion is still the same. Stories that teach, stories that inform, stories that transform, stories that inspire and stories that call to action, we tell it all. We tell it better.
Telling a multi-layered story in a single frame is an art; we have learnt that art. We play with light and colour to make authentic images. Though we work with different subjects, people photography is our favourite.
Theatre can gently shift the landscapes of the minds both in children and adults. We love facilitating this process. Corporates, schools, colleges we work with all age groups. Playing is serious fun for us.
There, their, they're - we know the difference. 16 years of writing for television news, print and online publications, coffee table books, columns, means I take writing seriously. I work with a network of professionals who are equally dedicated to the art of writing.

Golden Arrow Resources Corporation (CVE:GRG) (OTCMKTS:GARWF) has closed the final tranche of a C$1.2 million financing boosted by increased investor demand.
The news comes after the company announced this week that it has closed the first tranche of its financing round, raising C$812,500 help advance the company's exploration portfolio.
Vancouver-based Golden Arrow's assets span the mining life cycle, from a number of discovery-stage projects in Argentina to the silver producing Chinchillas mine in the South American country.
READ: Golden Arrow closes first tranche of financing and boosts offering to $1 million, thanks to investor demand
The second tranche of the non-brokered private placement consists of an additional 1.95 million units at C$0.20 per unit for additional gross proceeds of C$390,000. Each unit consists of one common share and one warrant exercisable at C$0.30 per share for a three-year period following the date of issue.
Funds raised will be used for general working capital, according to the firm.
Golden Arrow discovered the Chinchilla project seven years ago and delineated it between 2012 and 2015. It is now owned by Puna Operations Inc, which is a joint venture between operator SSR and the firm. Golden Arrow holds 25% stake in Puna Operations. The firm is also exploring a new portfolio of advanced projects in Chile, as well as other targets within its portfolio of more than 200,000 hectares of properties in Argentina.
The junior explorer also paid a finder's fee of C$8,400 in cash and issued an additional 42,000 non-transferable finder's warrants entitling the holder to purchase shares at C$0.30 for a three-year period expiring June 20, 2022.
In total, the company will pay a finder's fee of C$38,500 in cash and 192,500 finder's warrants.

Ganoub El-Wadi Petroleum Holding Company (Ganope) aims to propose a research and exploration bid for oil and gas in various areas at the beginning of 2016, instead of the end of 2015, due to delays in the process.
Ganope Chairman Abu Bakr Ibrahim told Daily News Egypt the new bid is awaiting approvals from the relevant entities regarding the sites, their number, and areas.
The consortium of the Emirati Pacific Petroleum and the Malaysian Hibiscus Petroleum won the previous bid for the second excavation site located in the south-east of the Suez Gulf, at the cost of at least $68m, and a $2m signing bonus to drill five exploratory wells.
Ibrahim said the Egyptian Trident Petroleum company won the contract for the sixth site located north-west of the Suez Gulf with a cost of at least $4.5m and a signing bonus of $500,000 to drill six exploration wells.
Magawish Petroleum Company won the fourth site located in the north zone of the Suez Gulf on an area of 194 sqkm, with a cost of at least $23.5m and a signing bonus of $2m to drill two exploration wells.
He said the alliance of the two companies, IPR and Mediterra Energy, won two sites located in Kom Ombo. The first is of an area of 1,1860 sqkm, registering a cost of at least $1.85m and a signing bonus of $100,000 to drill one exploration well. The other is on an area of 10,900km squared with a cost of at least $2.45m and a signing bonus of $100,000 to drill two wells.
Ibrahim said Ganope is seeking to attract foreign companies to help resuscitate Egypt from one of the worst energy crises it faced in decades. The company's subsidiaries' investment plans include injecting $60m in FY 2015/2016 for the development of fields to offset the natural decline rate. The company also plans included $60m for research and exploration.
Ganope aims to produce 33,000 barrels of crude oil per day during the current fiscal year, compared to about 32,000 barrels per day last year.The natural decline rate of Ganope's subsidiaries' wells is estimated at approximately 2,000 barrels per year.

These bibs are awesome!! They keep me dry as a bone
I would never buy from them again Beware
Allen- Sorry that you order did not work out. I will send you a direct e-mail in regards to question.
I'm very happy with the quality of this product. Customer Service is outstanding at AFTCO.
Very good quality and definitely keeps you dry. Well worth the money!!
After much research, purchased these two items for my Nephew who is a year-round all weather fisherman. He is absolutely satisfied with the product. I will be purchasing a set for my husband! :-)
As the title says my lifetime guidewear didn't last as long as advertised and after a refusal to honor the original guarantee, I looked elsewhere for some good bibs. These are awesome!!! Way more comfortable with the full shoulder straps for all day wear. My old suspender style started digging in after a few hours and would also fall off the shoulder and have to be dug out under layering of clothing on cold days. These all well constructed and well designed. Good access to the lower fly section of the bibs which might actually be one of the most important features of a set of fishing outer wear clothing. Great full above the knee leg zippers for getting out of the bibs without taking off your boots on the water. Love em!
First time worn cord broke to tighten hood. Notified cs and emailed pictures. Closed before problem was taken care of. Should be hearing from them soon I hope. Expensive hoodie!
I ordered a size medium and had the suit for almost 2 months without using it. When it came time to actually use it I realized it was too small. I called Aftco, And they shipped me a size large before I was even able to get my return medium packed and out the door. Finally got to use it last week and it is an amazing product
This is a solid rain bib and jacket. Comfortable and fits as it should. Customer service is second to none. Contacted direct about sizing and the representative was spot on!

The Barrel is realy simple..
Just follow the images, and you will be fine..
I added some information with those yellow boxes.
Step 3: The Handle
The same.. Just follow the images and notes ;)
Step 4: The Trigger
Just follow the images and notes..
You have to force some parts into their place..
View the notes to know which parts!

You just can't do this wrong.. Just a stick with some connectors and a rod... Watch the pictures..
Step 6: The Rubber Band
On the pictures you can see where to place the rubber bands..
It can be hard, but ask your questions, if you want to! ;)
PS: The first rubber band is actually three rubber bands in each other.. You know how to do this right?
Grab one rubber band. Grab another.. Lay the half rubber band over the other one. Grab the rubber band that's on the bottom, and pull it into the other one.. Do the same with the third.. Only grab the second one instead of the first one..
(This sounds very wicked, but it isn't!)

[dropcap]O[/dropcap]ur doctors taught as how to determine our cholesterol levels and gave us drugs to lower it.
Physician who are experts in performing bypass surgery prescribe some medicines to maintain cardiovascular function.
But what they do not teach us is how not to end up in their clinics in the first place.
I wish there are doctors who could discuss some low-cost tips on how to prevent heart attack, instead of just prescribing drug treatment for heart attack.
As Casie Nitingale (The Good Witch) said, pills are not always the best option.
And yes, when it comes to our cardiovascular function, eating healthy foods can be a great heart attack treatment.
[dropcap]H[/dropcap]ealthy Foods as Natural Heart Attack Treatment
Food is still a powerful medicine. By following a plant-based diet can significantly reduce the rate of heart attacks.
You can opt to be meat-free but you can still benefit from eating mostly plant-based healthy foods. Here are some superfoods that you can consume every day.
What is great about them is that you are not only preventing heart attack but you can also be on your way to lose weight, naturally.
[dropcap]H[/dropcap]ow to Make Healthy Foods as a Natural Heart Attack Treatment?
Eat vegetables a day. In various studies, it showed that those who ate eight or more servings of leafy vegetables and fruit a day were 30% less likely to suffer from a heart attack or stroke. This is compared to those who only consumed half servings or fewer of these healthy foods.
To make it easier to consume them, you can make green-based juice.
Drink green tea. Green tea offers plenty of antioxidants. But black and oolong varieties may also help in reducing total blood cholesterol levels. Plus, they can regulate blood sugar levels and soothe inflammation.
Eat meat naked. If you cannot let go of your meat-eating habit, choose to eat meat naked and avoid processed meat, like bacon and sausages.
In a research conducted by Harvard experts, they found that those who ate meat once a week have raised their risk of heart disease by 42%.
When you eat meat naked, it means you have to consume meat that is not treated with antibiotics, hormones and other additives. In other words, choose to eat grass-fed animals, as they contain heart-healthy fatty acids.
Consume fatty fish. Examples of it will include sardines, anchovies, salmon, sardines and herring. They are best sources of omega-3s, which are known to reduce heart disturbances, blood pressure and triglycerides.
When it comes to contamination, they are less likely to be contaminated.
[dropcap]H[/dropcap]ow Fasting Can be a Natural Treatment for Heart Attack?
Fasting for at least 11 hours each night can put your body in "break" mode. Bear in mind that our body requires a break to repair our metabolic functions.
Thus, it is highly recommended to skip midnight snack as it can raise inflammation, blood sugar levels and cell ageing.
To start fasting for 11 hours each night, you can say no to eating around 6 pm or 7 pm.
[dropcap]A[/dropcap]voiding Sedentary Lifestyle
Those who spend their time being sedentary are said to be 73% more likely to suffer from metabolic syndrome and a host of problems related to heart disease.
Thus, motivate yourself to several physical activities each day.
You can cut your lawn.
Do not sit down on the bus. Instead, give your seat to your fellow passenger. It does not matter who he/she is.
[dropcap]Y[/dropcap]oga is Great for the Heart.
In a study conducted, researchers discovered that yoga has a powerful effect on your heart. Those who do yoga for three months had fewer episodes of atrial fibrillation.
If you are suffering from high blood pressure, you can start practicing yoga at least seven minutes twice a day. It can lower resting heart rate and regulate your blood pressure.
[dropcap]O[/dropcap]ther Natural Treatments or Preventive Ways
Get a pet. Pets have positive impact on cholesterol levels and blood pressure. The reason for this is that a pet has calmer energy that may affect human beings. The calming energy of pets can be transferred to humans when they are close to each other.
List the things that you are grateful for. Being grateful to whatever you have in your life can have a great effect in your overall health. Experts recommend listing down things you are grateful for. Read your list once a week.
Have sex. According to a certain study, men who are having sex twice a week are less likely to suffer from heart attack compared to those who only have coitus once a month. And this type of effect cannot be duplicated by aspirin. Sexual activity is considered as a light exercise. Thus, no need to worry about having a heart attack while you are in the act.
Use kitchen stables for cleaning. Cleaning products contain chemicals that can cause stroke and heart attack. Whenever possible, use your kitchen materials, like white vinegar, lemon and others, when cleaning your kitchen.
Avoid using plastic containers. The chemicals in plastic can leach into your food. If the residues accumulate in the body in significant number, they can greatly affect your hormonal system. In various medical papers, researchers found a link between phthalates and cardiovascular problems. Thus, instead of using plastic containers, use ceramic or stainless steel.
These tips are not only helpful in preventing or treating heart attack and other cardiovascular problems but they can also be used in helping you lose weight.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — As a child in York County, S.C., Kay Carter discovered the seeds of her calling.
Her father, who repaired machines at the local Bowater paper mill, and her mother, a homemaker, were "giving people," always helping those in need or setting an extra place at their table over the holidays, she says.
"My entire life, for as long as I can remember," she says, "I have always taken the side of the underdog."
That ethic of service led Carter to jobs in city and state government in South Carolina before joining the Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina in Charlotte two years ago as executive director.
Charged with delivering food to nearly 550 partner agencies in 14 counties in North Carolina and two in South Carolina that feed hungry people, the Food Bank has grown rapidly under Carter's leadership.
"Kay possesses all the essential qualities of an excellent leader," including strong administrative skills, compassion and attention to customer service, says Wendy Duda, executive director of the York County Council on Aging, a partner agency.
Carter says she simply wants no one in the region the Food bank serves to go hungry.
On joining the Food Bank in January 2004, she says, she found it lacked a strategic plan and was "not distributing enough food to meet the needs," or doing enough to educate the community about hunger.
So she quickly moved to create a five-year plan to do more, and increased the goals again this year.
In the fiscal year that ended June 30, the Food Bank delivered 16 million pounds of food, up from 7 million three years earlier, and increased to 70 pounds from 27 pounds two years earlier the amount of food distributed for every poor person in the region.
Revenue grew to $2.9 million, up from $1.8 million two years earlier, while fundraising generated $1.6 million, up from just over $800,000, although Carter says feeding more people continually requires raising more funds.
And the number of volunteer hours, each of which saves roughly $20 in labor costs, grew to 28,700 from nearly 7,900 two years earlier.
Kay Carter
Job: Executive director, Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina, Charlotte, N.C.
Born: Aug. 27, 1960, Rock Hill, S.C.
Education: B.A., political science, Winthrop University; master's in public administration, University of South Carolina
Career: City manager, York, S.C.; director, department of social services, York County, S.C.
Hobbies: Reading, shopping, antiques and collectibles, including baseball cards and cartoon items, especially Pepé Le Pew
Recent reading: Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee, by Charles J. Shields
Favorite movies: Each year, tries to watch all movies nominated for Academy Award for best picture
Hero: Mother Teresa. "She spent her entire life helping people who, without her, would have had no help."
Quote: "Whoever your customer is, that's who you should be working to please."
|The Food Bank, the main source of food for most of its partner agencies, also opened a branch in Hickory; expanded to 23 from 14 the number of sites where it gives children nutritious meals and snacks; extended to 10 months from six its annual program to deliver food to rural communities; and started providing supplemental food for homebound elderly, healthy food to at-risk populations, and food to children over the weekends in several counties.Last fall, the Food Bank delivered nearly 1 million pounds of food to victims of Hurricane Katrina and merged with Community Food Rescue, a move that reduced costs and led to the delivery of more food.Carter also has instituted a cost-saving navigation system for the Food Bank's fleet of trucks, helped partner agencies like Duda's secure funding, and enlisted a diverse group of volunteers, including senior citizens, children with developmental disabilities, hearing-impaired teens and prison inmates."Everybody has something they can give," she says.And Food Bank officials now speak to several hundred groups a year, with Carter handling half those assignments.
"One of our great goals," she says, "should be to engage every possible person in our community in fighting hunger."

My friends you can scream run,run, run but snails are just slow!
For some there is the night ritual with torch in hand to find and get rid of these "little" creatures munching on lettuce, cabbages and other veggies ,and finding them on the delicate foliage of freshly planted flowers.
However, from the south to north of Italy there are over 400 fairs and festivals where the main attraction is indulging in the "delicate" eating of snails.
We too take part in this ceremony, and not once but twice this year we've enjoyed with friends a dinner of snails and Prosecco.
These "boys" have been friends forever…and each dinner was a race to see how many they could find and later eat…this round fifty snails.
However the traditional cook was my sister in law. Who has made her mark as the all round top chef in cooking these slippery little suckers.
Her recipe is the traditional " Lumache alle bourgiognonne" Snails cooked in butter,breadcrumbs and a variety of fresh herbs, parsley,sage,thyme.
To be able to enjoy snails with secured calmness ( as the slugs can contain harmful substances) it's necessary to complete the cleaning process. It takes time and patience but secures the enjoyment of the rich flavour, of each snail. The cleaning process takes from 4-5 days, boiling them in salted water and vinegar, changing the water and repeating the process 2 or 3 times. Then boiling the snails for at least 2 hours in a pressure cooker. At this stage they can be frozen. If not there are many traditional recipes or even a few new ones.
Some of the recipes with snails are fried snails with cornmeal (polenta), soup of snails (very creamy),ravioli of snails and tagliolini (pasta) with a fried snail sauce,kebabs of snails with a herb dressing,the more traditional herb crusted and baked in butter (alla borgognona) which we enjoy and finally snails baked with a tomato and herb sauce.
So don't think only of the French but also the Italians who enjoy eating snails…

"Guess who won the award in the "outstanding structured database" category on 2017 Computing Loading...Big Data?"
Last week we were honored and delighted that Exasol won at the 2017 Computing Loading...Big Data and IOT awards held in London, beating off stiff competition to take the award in the "outstanding structured database" category. It's a great testament not only to the hardworking and dedicated staff at Exasol who are proud to develop the world's fastest Loading...in-memory Loading...analytic database engine, but also to all of our customers and the Exasol user community who are transforming their businesses by putting data very much center-stage and at the heart of everything they do. In fact, organizations around the world are running their businesses using Exasol; they're ingesting, processing, analyzing and deriving value from large data sets at unprecedented speeds that in turn drives their success. It's truly game-changing.
Indeed, our customers are great advocates of the database and at our annual Xperience event, users and partners come together to network, learn and hear about what's next for data analytics, as well as celebrate a shared love for fast analytics. One example customer is King Digital Entertainment, makers of Candy Crush Saga, which we highlighted in the awards entry. The company analyzes data generated from over 1.5 billion game plays per day and uses Exasol to improve player satisfaction and examine game-play statistics. King has taken a considered approach to their data analytics requirements by using the "right tool for the right job"; the company uses a combination of Loading...Hadoop and Exasol for analytics so users can get answers to their business queries in a fraction of the time it took previously.
The awards evening itself was a lot of fun; the Exasol team in the UK came together to relax and enjoy themselves while waiting in anticipation to see whether Exasol had been awarded the prize. The fruits of our labor paid off and Exasol CEO and chairman, Aaron Auld, and UK managing director, Sebastian Darrington, went up to the stage to receive the award. We were also delighted to support the charity partner of the evening, Place2Be; they're doing great work helping children in schools with often complex social issues.
It's incredibly rewarding to see how companies are changing the way they do business with Exasol, and even more so, when this is recognized by the Computing Loading...Big Data and IOT awards judging committee. We're proud to add the Computing Loading...Big Data and IOT award to the collection!
If you're interested in learning more about Exasol's Loading...Loading...in-memory database offering and how we can help you to unearth valuable insights from large data sets, then get in touch. We'd love to talk to you.

We live in a world drowning in choices. From what to order for dinner to which approach to take regarding market research, one thing remains clear – we have more than ample options. Today, businesses wholly understand the value and criticality of market research, but they are typically overwhelmed by the number of methods to choose from. Here, we'll dig into why your business should use online communities for market research.
There are so many ways to conduct market research. Some of these methods include surveys, focus groups, co-creation communities , field trials, ethnography, journaling, digital bulletin boards and other online community formats. Given the ubiquity of mobile phones today in an era of always-on, online communities have emerged as the leading vehicle for consumer insights. We're here to help you navigate how to manage online communities to get the most out of your market research.
What is an online community?
Loosely defined, it's any group of at least three or more people united in a place on the internet. The earliest origin of a definition dates back to 2003. However, online communities first made their appearance nearly 50 years ago, in 1971. By the early 1980s, online communities morphed from internal government groups to publicly available chat forums. These were enabled via technology developed by CompuServe and a programming language, Java, developed by Sun Microsystems. From the 1990s through 2012, AOL's chat rooms dominated the world wide web.
While certain chat rooms, like AOL's, disappeared from our ISPs (Internet Service Providers) and email platforms, chat rooms as online communities for market researchers were recognized for their potential value. Agencies soon resurrected them in new formats. In fact, multiple new formats which now necessitates making additional choices, like which market research vendor to select.
Ultimately, chat rooms evolved into MROCs (Market Research Online Communities). The category has since been further granularized into short-term, pop-in/out and continuous participation sub-categories. Distilling the definition and purpose of a market research online community down to simple terms, MROCs are essentially modern chat rooms designed to quickly and cost-effectively yield qualitative customer insights. Cost-effectiveness may seem counterintuitive given the upfront investment required to establish an online community, but the ROI is well worth it.
What are the benefits of using an online community?
We've already highlighted the benefits of speed and cost-savings, but flexibility and access may be even more important. Specifically, traditional market research efforts, like in-person focus groups, require extensive preparation, scripted interactions, practice, recruiting and schedule coordination. Your business should use online communities for market research if you're at an early stage with a concept, unsure who your real target audience is and which set of product or service features matter most.
By working with an agency who has established the infrastructure necessary to enable a broad outreach, your business can rapidly connect with multiple user bases and test out feature sets like A versus B versus C in quick succession or in parallel. An essential component of this infrastructure is a built-in community, screened and vetted to ensure fit. And the support needed to facilitate 24/7 engagement as we no longer live in a 9-5 world.
The need for agility
Agile engagement with customers is all the rage. Being able to open a window into your customers' lives and invite them to join the inner circle of your marketing, R&D or innovation teams is extremely powerful. On-demand access can go well beyond your customer base to include your employees, shareholders, opinion leaders, journalists and other stakeholders.
They let you see behind the curtain into their everyday lives, and you can understand not only what they purchase, but how they live, what they do and why. Videos, photos and 24/7 mobility give researchers an insider's perspective that's unbiased, unfiltered and doesn't require interpretation of subtext. Through online communities, you are building a reciprocal relationship with your customers; they know and trust you, and you get to know them.
