Brand idea: brand a West Java village through one cause: water.

The Brief

Desa Laksana (Ibun, Bandung) had strong water tourism but little promotion. We branded it “Arta”: Arungi Tirta Anyar.

My Role: Project Manager

Owned the plan and timeline, and coordinated the teams behind the roadshow, webinar, competition and main event.

Strategic Value

Turned a destination brief into a social cause, #EveryDropMatters, that schools, communities and experts joined.

High Potential, Low Awareness

Arta Laksana · Desa Laksana, Ibun, Kabupaten Bandung

Brand diagnosis1,700 m above sea level

1Market Context

  • Desa Laksana, Ibun, Kabupaten Bandung, 1,700 m above sea level.
  • Hero product: Wisata Si Anyar, with a hot-spring pool, fish lake, horse track and the “Dewa Serayu” ship lodge.
  • Local products: Wanoja coffee and borondong.

2Brand Challenge

  • Introduction stage of the product life cycle: low awareness outside the region.
  • Minimal promotion left no clear brand image in the market.
  • Scenery alone is not a differentiator; every highland destination sells a view.

3Brand Strategy

  • Communication objective: cognitive, driving awareness and knowledge.
  • Positioning on product characteristics: variety (rational value) and peace of mind (emotional value).
  • One brand, “Arta”, built on one platform: water.

Brand Platform: Water

Most of Tirta Anyar’s attractions are water-based, and its water is well managed. Building the brand on water turned a tourism pitch into a cause-driven campaign: schools, experts and communities had a reason to engage, and the village gained credible positioning as a model of water management.

Audience Insight

Students aged 15–22 respond to experiences, not lectures, so every water message came with something to join: a twibbon, a contest, a game.

Stakeholder Strategy

Mapped five stakeholder groups (academia, business, community, government and media) and gave each a clear role.

Strategic Value

One cause tied every touchpoint together, so each school visit, post and performance also built the Arta Laksana brand.

Process

1

Survey

Location survey and discussions with the village to choose the story and spots.

2

Pre-pro

Storyboard, script and shot list built around the variety of Tirta Anyar.

3

Shoot

Filmed the lake, pine forest, suspension bridge and plantations on location.

4

Post

Edited video and audio, then published on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube.

Brand Image: Overview Video

Tourism cannot be tried before it is bought. Real footage turns “beautiful” into proof and builds the associations: water, nature, calm.

Brand Recall: Jingle

Sonic branding makes a new name stick: easy to say, easy to hum, linked to water through “Arungi Tirta Anyar”, and reusable as a TikTok sound.

Content Leverage

One production, many uses: the same footage powered the school roadshow presentations and every social channel.

School Roadshow: Reaching Gen Z

Arta Laksana · School Roadshow 2022

School roadshow7 Bandung high schools2022

1Insight

  • In the introduction stage, reach comes before persuasion: schools deliver a concentrated Gen Z audience in one touchpoint.
  • Edutainment on water conservation earns school access that a tourism ad would not.
  • Students drive word of mouth to their families, the decision-makers for weekend trips.

2Execution

  • Roadshow to 7 Bandung high schools: SMAN 1, 5, 8, 12 and 14, SMA Pasundan 1 and 7.
  • Interactive presentations powered by the Village Overview video to build visit intent.
  • Every visit repurposed as content for @arta__laksana.

3Impact

  • 1,259 students and webinar participants reached with the Desa Laksana and Tirta Anyar story.
  • Water-conservation habits modeled on Tirta Anyar shared at every school visited.
  • Student nature clubs such as Gaspala engaged as community partners.

Strategic Takeaway

Schools delivered concentrated reach, a credible reason to engage and word of mouth to family decision-makers. The cause opened the door; the Village Overview built intent to visit.

Arta Archery & Waterland

Arta Laksana · Main event · 7 January 2023

Brand activationBooth, performance, games7 January 2023

1Insight

  • Every class ran a booth, so share of attention was the real competition.
  • Gen Z engages through participation, not passive reading; the message had to be experienced.
  • A queue creates social proof and draws more footfall.

2Activation

  • Arta Archery: a dart board with three targets, Water, Fire and Air.
  • Only a hit on Water wins, so the game mechanic itself delivers the campaign message.
  • Two throws per player keeps traffic flowing.

3Brand Experience

  • Winners redeem prizes at “Arta Karun”, a treasure-chest reward station.
  • A water-themed lounge extends dwell time with the brand.
  • Multisensory booth design, branded as “Arta Waterland”.

Strategic Takeaway

Gamification turned the key message into a participation moment: you cannot win without choosing water. The reward closed the loop, and the Waterland environment tied the experience back to Tirta Anyar, building both recall and brand association.

Earned Media Coverage

Arta Laksana · Media coverage 2022–2023

Media relationsTribun Jabar & Pikiran RakyatOct 2022 – Jan 2023

1Pre-launch

Read: Tribun Jabar, 25 Oct 2022

  • Names Devina as Project Manager and quotes her on why the team chose Desa Laksana and water.
  • Previews the plan: content, webinar, school roadshow and poster competition.

2Campaign

Read: Pikiran Rakyat

  • Covers the Road to Urban Village activities under #EveryDropMatters.
  • Placed through the team’s press release, as planned in the media strategy.

3Main Event

Tribun Jabar, 7 Jan 2023

  • Covers the booth: fountain, campaign banners, games and a prize treasure hunt.
  • Quotes the PR division on why water matters to the village.
  • Headline: “Kelompok Arta Laksana Berhasil Kampanyekan Penggunaan Air pada Urban Village 2022 Universitas Telkom”.

What Worked

Issue-led branding: water gave schools, experts and media a reason to engage, with coverage in Tribun Jabar and Pikiran Rakyat.

What I’d Do Next

Track visits to Tirta Anyar and set awareness KPIs per channel, so reach ties directly to tourism outcomes.

Strategic Value

The village gained a brand, a story and reusable content to carry the branding forward.

Strategic Takeaway
