Up and Away for the Gauge Away Day!

Last Saturday, the Gauge team had an Away Day at Desa Gumati, Bogor. As a new addition to the staff, this was a new experience for me. I learned that Away Day is Maverick’s way to get away from the office and align our thoughts together for the future of the company, and of Gauge Media Monitoring division in this particular instance.

The day started off well, clear blue sky, with no traffic whatsoever. After donning our uniform Gauge t-shirts for the day (yay, free goodies!), we were ready to go. The drive from the office to Desa Gumati was filled with karaoke-ing cheesy old Indonesian pop songs that the bus had provided for us (thank you Mr. Bus Driver!) and as usual, talking while munching away the miles.

Kompas Gramedia Launches Kompas.com Reborn

Kompas Gramedia on Thursday, May 29, 2008, launched Kompas.com Reborn in a ceremony at Hotel Mulia Senayan led by Minister of Communication and Informatics M. Nuh, Kompas Gramedia Chairman Jakob Oetomo and Kompas Gramedia CEO Agung Adiprasetyo. The grand launch marked the rebirth of Kompas.com that had gone through serious changes in layout, content management, format and features.

The transformation from Kompas Cyber Media to Kompas.com was a year-long process. Throughout the period Kompas.com planned its editorial content, built new infrastructure, increased its bandwidth and put its human resources in a single News Room. The new Kompas.com has a cleaner look than before. The layout optimizes readability while still retaining its artistic feel. The site utilizes complementing tones and well-structured format instead of the competing colors and cluttered format of rival news portals.
