🎑 Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! 🌕 喜乐中秋，岁岁年年，好运圆满。祝大家中秋快乐，阖家辛福！ 🥮🍵 The Mid-Autumn Festival is a powerful reminder of unity, gratitude, and cultural richness. As families gather under the full moon, they celebrate it not just with delicious 月饼 (yuèbǐng or mooncake), but also with the stories they tell—each intricate design symbolizing harmony and prosperity. 📈 Through a meticulous analysis of Google Trends data from September 15-17, 2024, I identified a significant increase in global interest in mooncake and the Mid-Autumn Festival. Vietnam emerged as a preeminent region in this trend, exhibiting a remarkable 98% interest, indicative of a deep-rooted cultural connection. Indonesia took the lead in mooncake searches, with a substantial 39% interest, suggesting lucrative market potential. Moreover, other Southeast Asian countries, such as Singapore and Malaysia, demonstrated substantial engagement, underscoring the region's cultural resonance with this tradition. Having lived in China, I've experienced firsthand the magic of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Its growing global popularity is a testament to its enduring appeal and cultural significance. Happy Mid-Autumn to all my Chinese friends. #中秋节 #月饼 #midautumnfestival #mooncake #trend #china #googletrends #insights #datavisualization #dataanalysis #southeastasia #data #analytics #MarketResearch

A blast of my weekend Happy to share the key moment of full-house party at Gác Mê - a new art space in Thảo Điền, on the second floor of Nam Mê Kitchen & Bar. The event Sippin' Across Vietnam was full of joy, excitement, dope music and great connections. It was booming with more than 300 guests, so much more than we can imagine.. I truly believe in the amazing outcomes by connecting the right people with the same mindsets. Together, we will make an impactful collaboration and bring the best we can to our audiences, from that, we will gain so much consolidated value that I can ever imagine. This time, we co-host the event with @nomo.aeo - a community full of cool young expats. The event was planned in 2 months, less than 5 meetings. The results are awesome: - Nam Mê gained lots of traffic and awareness of local neighborhood in Thao Dien after the event, and revenue is skyrockted also - Nomo had a beautiful space to curate a big party - Gác Mê has doubled the followers and acquired 4 leads of future collaboration with artists / art scouters. Catering by Nam Mê Kitchen & Bar Venue by Gác Mê Community Nomo Arts by Dano Cuarvo Music by CLUBMATES, Quân Xmas and Steven Vo It all about expanding, expanding, expanding. Advertisement is a way, yes, but partnership is a much more powerful. I am currently looking for new opportunities to collab and support communities for Nam Mê & Gác Mê (venue and catering, F&B in Thao Dien). If you need a beautiful, aesthetics venue and have an event idea in mind for your audiences, DM me to share more. #Marketing #venue #artspace #Thaodien #event

Happy Holi! As we celebrate Holi, the festival of colors, let's reflect on its deeper meaning and how it translates to our professional lives. Holi symbolizes burning the past year's negativity, just like the Holika bonfire. In the spirit of self-improvement, we can use this as a metaphor to shed old habits, limiting beliefs, and unproductive patterns that hold us back. Just as colors are thrown freely during Holi, let's embrace the vibrant spirit of continuous learning and growth. Here's how the festival inspires our professional journeys: 1. Letting Go: Like the burning of Holika, we can release outdated skills and actively seek new knowledge to stay relevant. 2. Teamwork: Holi is best enjoyed with loved ones. Similarly, professional success often hinges on collaboration and building strong networks. 3. Openness: The vibrant colors of Holi represent embracing diversity. Let's cultivate an inclusive mindset and learn from different perspectives. Remember, self-improvement is a joyful journey, just like Holi! Let's celebrate our successes, big and small, and keep striving to be the best version of ourselves. Wishing you a Happy and Colorful Holi! #holi #festivalofcolors #selfimprovement #growthmindset #professionaldevelopment #ruralsportsdevelopment

Edit: I finally blogged about this matter - https://lnkd.in/gjtesJ4h The original post is also adjusted below. Hello, LinkedIn! We just concluded TOYCON 2024 at SMX Manila (Disclosure: I helped the team as staff while documenting the said event) and I have nothing but gratitude that this year's event is overall successful. This is my 8th year working as part of the team that brings the best of pop culture in the country, since it moved to SMX Manila for the first time in 2016. Following Pokeverse held two weeks ago, another event flopped hard. We talk about the NijiPop Culture Festival in Cebu, part of central Philippines. I am doing my best to understand the fiasco, but I am understanding from multiple accounts that: 1. There're only two main head organizers in the process of building this event. Could be one with how I understand that one of them bailed out. 2. There's lack of accountability to take care of the local guests and artists, most especially those coming from outside Cebu, as well as their carelessness because they are said to have prioritized taking in the guests first without securing the venue and making excuses for it. 3. They didn't listen to the advice of those who have already organized events, even the ones from the local cup sleeve event scene who are also part of NijiPop's staff. There're lots of stories to understand regarding the matter - I have to fully read an account which was produced in a research paper format (a thesis?!), but overall, the addition of NijiPop to the trash pile of events with bad outcomes is giving our country a bad reputation internationally. I have more to say regarding this matter but let me rest first, as this issue kept me awake for long.

Did You Know....Today is Lantern Festival. The Lantern Festival (traditional Chinese: 元宵節; simplified Chinese: 元宵节; pinyin: Yuánxiāo jié), also called Shangyuan Festival (traditional Chinese: 上元節; simplified Chinese: 上元节; pinyin: Shàngyuán jié), is a Chinese traditional festival celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunisolar Chinese calendar, during the full moon. Usually falling in February or early March on the Gregorian calendar, it marks the final day of the traditional Chinese New Year celebrations. As early as the Western Han dynasty (206 BC–AD 25), it had become a festival with great significance. During the Lantern Festival, children go out at night carrying paper lanterns and solve riddles on the lanterns (traditional Chinese: 猜燈謎; simplified Chinese: 猜灯谜; pinyin: cāidēngmí). In ancient times, the lanterns were fairly simple, and only the emperor and noblemen had large ornate ones. In modern times, lanterns have been embellished with many complex designs. For example, lanterns are now often made in the shape of animals. The lanterns can symbolize the people letting go of their past selves and getting new ones, which they will let go of the next year. The lanterns are almost always red to symbolize good fortune. The festival acts as an Uposatha day on the Chinese calendar. It should not be confused with the Mid-Autumn Festival; which is sometimes also known as the "Lantern Festival" in locations such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. Lantern Festivals have also become popular in Western countries, such as the Water Lantern Festival held in multiple locations in the United States. #LanternFestival #culture #dei #DEIU #PartnersPersonnelInAction #ifn #partnerspersonnel #knowledge
