It’s also a time about actively making improvements and changes in your life and your surroundings. Using this insight and our brand platform of inspiring authentic self- expression every day, we use our influencers to seed the idea of how simple change in perspective can lead to good things," Sony Nichani, MD, FCB Jakarta, said.FCB Jakarta's ECD Ravi Shanker said that the execution focuses on how simple it is to spread positivity in a cynical word through small actions.
