Key Points
• Current Web 2.0 conversations often
reflect a Western bias
• Ecosystems and online behaviors differ
• We should invest in market data if we wish
to spot the opportunity and correct channel
• Make data-driven decisions

Takeaway
Take the best from the West….
adapt to the rest

Lenovo Olympic Blogging

The Challenge
How do you position Lenovo as a company
providing solutions…as something more than
just providing computers to the Olympic
Games? How do you deliver this message
across 25 countries, numerous languages,
and varied ecosystems? Once you have fans,
how do you keep them engaged with the
Lenovo brand throughout the Games?

Lessons from Lenovo
• Asia’s diverse ecosystems can be bridged
• Interesting and timely content helps you to
engage people
• Staying away from a specific celebrity
broadened the reach—and lowered risk
• Question: why not host at Wordpress,
Blogger, Facebook, or My Space?

Takeaway
Asia offers many leading
examples…find them and learn
from markets similar to our own

Quotes from South Korean Blogs
April 24
The first locations that mad cow disease
meat will go into are the schools and army
camps. An unprecedented human experiment
in the history of mankind will take place
against the youngest and brightest of this
country.

Quotes from South Korean Blogs
April 28
Our people (Koreans) have the genetic makeup
with the highest propensity of being infected with
mad cow disease in the world…. While only
38% of Americans are known to have the MM
genes, an astounding 95% of Koreans have the
MM genes. Koreans also have a culture of
consuming high danger parts such as the head,
intestines and spine. - ID (gyunnam)

More Rumors (all are false)
• BSE is carried through knife or cutting board that
touched infected meat. If you wash those things in water,
BSE virus will survive in the water -- even through water
treatment -- and will eventually infect the drinking water.
• There are 5 million Alzheimer's patients in the U.S., and
roughly 250,000~650,000 among them are suspected
cases of BSE.
• American slaughterhouses are mismanaged and allow
unsafe SRM to be sent to Korea.

Lessons from South Korea
• Mainstream media can be too slow in an
information society
• Emotion spreads effectively, while rational
discourse presents a greater challenge
• Emotion rapidly galvanizes support
• We must update our media strategies to
account for digital channels

The Obolo StoryIt all began in 2003 when architecture graduates Mac Woo
and June Lee started baking from home for families and
close friends out of interest and passion. After forming
Obolo, an online patisserie specializing in gourmet
cheesecakes and chocolates in 2004, word of mouth
spread quickly about their highly-acclaimed creations.
In June 2007, Obolo launched her flagship “Boutique de
Pâtisserie” at Joo Chiat, a well-known Mecca for good
food in Singapore.

“I admire those who follow their passions
and make their dreams come true. Imagine
looking forward to work and creating lovely
pastries everyday because you love it! I
wonder if I’ll ever be that lucky.”
“Just the average
praline cake with
chocolate mousse and
genoise which was far
too sweet and rich.”
The blackcurrant filling in Cassis was too
sweet and jam-like; Chocolate Hazelnut
was slightly better with a bittersweet
ganache.

The Siren’s Final Alarm
I really wanted to like Obolo but
its creations didn’t impress me
enough. After awhile, the law of
diminishing returns sets in and
everything becomes cloyingly
sweet. Definitely a case of sugar
overload! (Oct 2, 2009)

As an avid food blogger, I share my dining
experiences (whether good or bad) with my readers.
Sometimes, I would also send an email to the
restaurants…That was what I did after visiting a local
pastry boutique. I praised X on its boutique decor and
also commented that the desserts….
The next day, I was shocked and disappointed to read
X's reply. To cut a long email short, the gist is that she
has referred my blog url to her legal consultant and
wanted me to remove my post within 24 hours to
avoid any legal proceedings, if any. I was appalled by
this and hence, decided to write to this forum…

Nature of Information Societies
• Networks are critical (Siok Siok)
• Media destinations are not equal within a
market; we must adapt to new reality(KFC)
• Examples of successful Web 2.0 can be
found in our own backyard (Lenovo)
• Trans-media consumption is a reality (Beef)
• Search is critical to success in a rapid,
trans-media world (H1N1)
