Successful managers and entrepreneurs hear the warnings all the time: it’s pretty lonely at the top.

If you’re in business to be successful, you can’t expect to make friends at work because you’ll have to manage them some day. Entrepreneurs are told that loneliness and isolation come with building a business, almost as if solitude is the price of admission into the business world…

… But! Afraid not!

Because here in lingkaran, we believe that talking to the like-mindeds, connecting and enriching knowledge, is the key to maximize our potential. This year, we’re striving to be a progressive ecosystem that pushes and supports Indonesia’s creative talents and entrepreneurs that reaches a world class standard.

Hence, ComeUnity : Founders Brunch Club exist.

ComeUnity is our program dedicated exclusively for our members to gather, share, and connect in a positive environment by developing collaborative network.

This time, we were dedicating the session for our fellow founders who utilise Digital Marketing & Social Media for their brands & enterprises. There were some twenty of us sitting and sharing valuable insights on a beautiful Thursday morning in an intimate brunch setting: mentors, partners, and of course our beloved learners.

Our Founder & Headmaster, Wendy Pratama, addressing the topic on “Digital Savvy: Mastering Digital Marketing & Social Media for Today’s Enterprise.” Having our targeted market as the digital native, and being a high consumers of social media ourselves, we believe that social media is the most convenient way to find, grow, and engage to our audience. This way we need to re-calibrate the way we market our products, our communication style, and the experience we provide for them.

The discussion is even richer with the insights from our Digital Marketing Masterclass mentor, Yopie Suryadi of Mail Target, about mail automation as the most effective tools to boost your sales. Also our regular learners, Narawastu Indrapradna of DOKI Digital Agency, added from the perspective of social media influencers, “The audience nowadays are aware of the quality of content they’re consuming, and can easily follow-un-follow based on their visual and ‘vibes’. We have to craft and curate our product display based on our market’s demography, characters, and taste. And yes, the instagram new algorithm is simply annoying. But that’s our challenge!”
