Overview

Execution

Highlighting Jokowi's strengths by leveraging his iconic 'rolled-up sleeves' and character's similarity with Tintin's: action-oriented and problem solvers.

His famous habit in ‘Blusukan’ (impromptu walkabouts) became our campaign theme. We blasted a series of comic book cover artworks on social medias (Twitter, Facebook, Path, Instagram). They told truthful stories of Jokowi’s walkabouts, touched Indonesia’s diverse cultures & current campaign issues.

We invited people not only to vote, but also to actively support Jokowi. Our tagline was: “Roll-up your sleeves, support Jokowi-JK”.

The big-size & high-res files were accessible on gulunglenganbajumu.com, which also functioned as the data bank for co-creation materials.
