people were lining up in front of Magnum
Café. And suddenly you felt the urge to do
the same thing and tell it to your friends. In
short, it’s a multiplier effect!
Magnum started their campaign in twitter using
the hashtag #belgiumchocolate. Magnum

“For icihers with love”
That’s the tagline for Maicih fan base.
Maicih is an ordinary cassava chips originated from in Bandung.
It has the “Level-Stage” level 1 to level 10,
shows the level of spiciness.
Actually those kind of cassava chips are very common in
Bandung. Lot of merchants sell cassava chips at traditional
market. But what`s special from Maicih brand are their marketing
strategy, a unique youth marketing.
Maicih are not sold everwhere, it is only sold in random spot and
always sold out. They are fully understand that today’s youth is a
seeker, so people from different areas seek and buy for them .
We can know where they are from twitter: @infomaicih.
The producer choose youth to be a “General”. From that, the
consumer experiencing new and unique brand marketing, they
proud and share it in twitter and let their friends know.
6. 5. So Long Facebook…,
I got “Twitter” now
“Facebook is my photo album and friends database, while Twitter
is my Diary” - Quoted from one of the SMP 12 students.
Indeed, youth in 2011, migrate to Twitter. When they thought
facebook is so much common now, even their parents had an fb
account, they’re trying to find their new ‘playground’. That’s when
Twitter is growing massively in 2011.
Indonesian Youth using Twitter to chat, follow
celeb account, and mostly to let others know
their ‘feelings’ at that moment, either they’re
in good or bad mood, something they can’t do
freely anymore in facebook.

stand-up comedian. It is held firstly by a group of fellow
tweets;
@ernestprakasa, @adriandhy, @ismanhs, @pandji, &
@radityadika. They are also what we called "celebtwit" or
celebrity on twitter.
Fresh jokes and expressive facial expressions are
characteristics of these stand up comedy. The comedians
come from various background, from rapper, blogger, writer
to radio announcer.
Stand-up Comedy show starts from café to café, called
StandupNite, then when it gather a huge crowd. The show
was brought to the television. As we can see, now we had
the Stand-up Comedy show in Kompas TV and Metro TV.
Actually stand-up Comedy trend also brought by Russell
Peters, a Canadian comedian, actor & DJ. He uses humor to
poke fun at the subjects of race, class and culture, often
8. 7. Watch out for “Angry Birds!”
Angry Birds has been one of the most
popular iPhone games since the launch and
it has also been a great success on the iPad.
Angry Birds is now reported to be moving
onto to be the highest download number
for mobile gaming.
The game involves employing a sling shot to
propel small cannonball-shaped birds with
really bad attitudes at rather fragile glass and
timber houses populated by basically
catatonic green pigs.
What makes it interesting that besides the
game itself, the merchandise such as plush
toy, t-shirt, stationery, etc were found almost
everywhere. The fans are varied from kids
to young adult.
9. 8. Click and Upload with “Instagram”
Instagram, the hottest iPhone startup right
now, isn`t complicated or even revolutionary.
It`s a simple photo-taking and photo-sharing app
that has taken over Silicon Valley and is filling our
Twitter feed with fun, cute photographs.
The beauty of this app is that it encourages casual
photography through your phone and displays
them in a visually appealing manner that turns
the mundane into magic. The layout is extremely
simple and user-friendly.
And second, it`s a simple social network of other
people`s photos. You can "like" or comment on
the photos, and see what`s new. It`s easy and
doesn`t take much time or effort. This is one of
the reasons it has become so popular so quickly.
Instagram in Indonesia now has many
communities, one of the most popular one is:
iPhonesia
10. 9. Bye Uncool Gadgets,
I Have “Tablets” now
Tablets is a Tablet computer, a kind of mobile
computers, usually having a touchscreen or pen-
enabled interface. As for the brands, Ipad from Apple &
Galaxy Tab from Samsung, are the most sold tablets.
Yes, there are apps and games, but it is information and content that seem to
be the focus — as well as the fact that there is prestige in wandering around
with the device, some sort of badge of honor; the Fashion Statement.
That’s one of the biggest reason to buy tablet for Youth;
to look cool! Indonesian Youth are using tablets mostly
are young adults / first-jobber. Besides for its office
function, they meet a lot of people, so they’re proud to
show their tablets in a meeting or simply when they’re
hangout.
11. 10. Everyday I’m “Shufflin’!”
It’s Shuffle Dance! a dance inspired by
the classic Jazz Dance which put more
variations to the knee and toe
movement, firstly originated from the
80’s brought by Melbourne local Band
called Underground Scene.
It`s now spreading out around jakarta-
bandung. Starts in the club, then infected
the malls, schools and street culture. The
Shuffle Dance communities are growing
as well. Another indication of youths
high need for public spaces and
community
Note:
The words: Everyday I’m Shufflin’ popularized
by LMFAO with its “Party Rock Anthem”, a
must number played when doing shuffle
dance.
12. 11. Get Extreme with
“Downhill bike”
Bored of Fixie Bike? Youth are now trying to
get more extreme with Downhill Bike.
Downhill Bike is a gravity-assisted time trial
mountain biking event. Riders are timed with
equipment similar to that used in Downhill
skiing. The placing is determined by the
fastest times to complete the course.
Downhill races usually are held on
steep, downhill terrain, resulting in high
speed descents, and with extended air time
off jumps and other obstacles.
But when the downhill trends came to urban
city, where there is no spaces to do so, one
of the downhill bikers community, Street Dirt
Senayan (SDS) creates their own spot in
Senayan, digging the area and makes it like
downhill. They once had an urban downhill
bike event, held in a mall, where they used
the escalator as the obstacles.
