Hotel Indonesia Kempinski is one of Kempinski’s growing collection of distinguished properties around the world.It has introduced Indonesia with its European fair, providing its guests witha lifestyle that is incomparable to other luxury hotels. It does not only serveguests with a hotel bed and a meal, “at Kempinski it’s all about bringing a story to life.”
Rosmalia Hardman, Director of Sales and Marketing at Hotel Indonesia Kempinski Jakarta, is now leading this 5-star hotel into an era in which the hospitality industryhas to adapt itself to the techno-driven and digital world. The Jakarta CMO Club was fortunate enough to have Rosmalia Hardman host the 22nd Jakarta CMO Power Dinner at the Paulaner Bräuhaus, whereguests were able to enjoy authentic Germanic cuisine, including theirhouse-brewed beer.
After the guests enjoyed their Bavarian cuisine, Rosmalia initiated the event with a short welcoming speech, explaining a little bit to the guests of what the Paulaner Bräuhaus is all about. She emphasized that even though the Paulaner Bräuhaus brewed its ownbeer, it is meant to be and has beenpromoted as a family restaurant and not a beer house. She also stated that there have been challenges in marketing therestaurant, but it has been a successstory since the day it opened.
The mic was then passed to Hermawan Kartajaya, one of the founders of the Jakarta CMO Club, who then gave a short presentation regarding theMarketing 3.0 Museum in Ubud and the actual Marketing 3.0 concept. Hermawanbegan the presentation with a nostalgic picture of Philip Kotler and himself in1998 at the World Marketing Conference in Moscow. At that time, Hermawan was still President of the Asia Pacifc Marketing Federation. That year is the year where Asiais experiencing an economic crisis, and because of this crisis, Hermawan wasinvited to share about his experience in Indonesia.
“Everyone in Moscow wanted to know what was happening in Indonesia,” Hermawan stated. He also shared his story ofhow he was lucky enough to have had a conversation with Philip Kotler. “At thattime in Moscow,no one spoke English. Usually, Philip Kotler would be surrounded by many people who want to speak with him,share knowledge, or even to get his signature. I was lucky because the conference committee allowed me to accompany Philip Kotler,” he added. Hermawan Kartajaya has co-authored many books with Philip Kotlersince 2000. His latest book with Philip Kotler and Iwan Setiawan, Marketing 3.0, was launched at The Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University. This book is written in English and will be translated into 17 non-English languages, including German, Korean, Indonesian, Japanese, Danish, Dutch, etc.He then continued with a short summary of how Marketing 3.0 evolved from a focus on product, to customer to fnally, human spirit. Products from China were considered as Marketing 1.0, orproduc-centric, because it only focuses on the quality of the product and howthe product can satisfy the basic needsof the human being. Starbucks was mentioned by Hermawan because of its Marketing 2.0 approach, orcustomer-centric. We can all admit that Starbucks does not have the best coffeein the world, but it has defnitely changed the way we enjoy coffee. It has hada great impact on the public’s lifestyle and has made it the third best place to enjoy your coffee, the frst and second beingthe house and the offce, where there are noguarantee that you will be in a good mood.
He then further explains that we arenow moving forward to an even higher
level of marketing, where marketers will now have to consider the humanspirit. It is no longer enough to have a mere product with high quality. “This is why it was so hard to fnd examples of Marketing 3.0 for this book, but weare able to fnd 30 cases,”
Hermawan stated. Marketing 3.0 is not an approach of how a company is able to
create great profts, but it is about being honest and ethical.
