Innocean Indonesia has been named agency of the year by Campaign Brief Asia, the most influential creative advertising trade magazine in the region, the company announced Thursday.
The achievement was driven by the agency's highly successful "Yellow Canteen" campaign for Dulux, a corporate social responsibility initiative aimed at protecting Indonesian students from diseases caused by flies in the country's hot, humid climate.
In addition to securing the top spot, Innocean Indonesia also entered the top 20 agencies in Asia, ranking among the most awarded creative agencies. With the largest population in Southeast Asia and a pivotal role in ASEAN, Indonesia has emerged as a major hub for creative marketing in the Asia-Pacific region.
Lee Yong-woo, CEO of Innocean, expressed his gratitude, stating, 'We are honored to lead the rankings, surpassing our competitors in just five years since Innocean Indonesia's establishment. We will continue to deliver creative work rooted in a deep understanding of regional cultures.'
Yusdina Fibriyanti, managing director of Innocean Indonesia, emphasized the company's long-term vision, 'Our goal is to be a trusted partner that drives client success while making a lasting impact on the community. We will continue to dedicate our efforts to embedding our values in the Indonesian market.'

Foreign workers in S. Korea face triple the workplace death risk of Korean nationals

Foreign workers in South Korea are dying on the job at rates far higher than Korean nationals. In just the first half of this year, 75 workers lost their lives, according to new government figures. The disparity in fatality rates is stark. Foreign nationals make up just 3.4 percent of South Korea's total workforce, about 1 million out of 29 million workers. Yet they account for between 10 and 15 percent of workplace accident deaths each year. Based on those proportions, the likelihood of dying in a workplace accident is roughly three to four times higher for foreign workers than for Korean nationals. The new figures come from the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service, which also tracks injury and illness claims. Between January and June, foreign employees submitted 5,173 claims, up 4.5 percent from 4,950 in the same period in 2024. Most were for accident-related injuries (4,415 cases), while a smaller portion involved occupational diseases (758 cases). During that same period, compensation was approved in 59 of the 75 death cases. Fatal accidents were recognized in nearly every instance (51 approvals out of 53 claims), while occupational disease deaths were far less likely to be approved (8 approvals out of 22 claims). The number of claims from foreign workers has been climbing steadily for years. Annual claims by foreign workers grew from 8,062 in 2020 to more than 10,000 in 2024. Labor experts say this is no coincidence. Many foreign employees are concentrated in sectors with higher accident risks such as construction, manufacturing and agriculture. They also face language barriers, social discrimination and unstable contracts that can make it difficult to demand safer working conditions. Under the current Employment Permit System, changing employers is tightly restricted, even for workers in dangerous environments. The Ministry of Employment and Labor has announced plans to relax these restrictions so that foreign workers can more easily move to safer workplaces. Lee Yong-woo, a senior researcher at the IOM Migration Research and Training Center, said foreign workers face 'a combination of language barriers, social discrimination and unstable employment status' that heightens their risk compared with the broader workforce. He urged authorities to also address 'blind spots' such as workplace safety for undocumented laborers.

BRI Launches Taipei Branch to Provide Financial Services for 360,000 Indonesian Migrant Workers in Taiwan

TAIPEI, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (IDX: BBRI) has expanded into Taiwan and East Asia with the launch of BRI Taipei Branch, located at No. 166, Sec. 3, Nanjing East Road, Zhongshan District, Taipei City. At the Grand Launching Ceremony on Friday, August 8, 2025, Hery Gunardi, BRI's President Director, highlighted, "As the only Indonesian bank branch in Taiwan, BRI Taipei Branch is positioned as a comprehensive financial hub, serving around 360,000 Indonesian migrant workers with remittance, savings, and investment solutions to support their future financial planning." BRI Taipei Branch offers integrated financial services including savings, financing, and remittances, while introducing the Advance FX Licence and BRI ATM cards compatible with Taiwan's banking infrastructure. "Looking ahead, we also plan for BRI Taipei Branch to serve as an investment gateway from Taiwan (China) to Indonesia, helping investors channel their funds through both direct and indirect investment avenues. With more competitive investment yields, we believe this will attract greater interest from Taiwanese investors," added Hery. At the same launching event, Arif Sulistyo, Head of the Indonesian Economic and Trade Office to Taipei, said BRI's presence would boost Indonesia–Taiwan economic ties, noting nearly 400,000 Indonesians, mainly in caregiving and manufacturing, now reside in Taiwan. "Formal Indonesian migrant workers in Taiwan's manufacturing sector earn approximately 28,590 NTD (IDR 14 million), while those in domestic roles earn around 20,000 NTD (IDR 10 million). Each month, 4,000 to 6,000 new workers arrive in Taiwan, contributing to remittance flows exceeding IDR 40 trillion annually," explained Arif. BRI Taipei Branch has held a Full Retail Foreign Bank Branch Office license from Taiwan's financial authority since 2021, allowing it to offer services including deposits, loans, remittances, trade finance, and treasury. As part of its continued growth, BRI Taipei Branch is launching two new products: BRImo Taiwan, a banking super app enabling seamless transactions, including remittances to Indonesia; and BRI Taipei Future Saving, a time deposit program in NTD with instalment options over 12, 24, or 36 months. The Taiwan expansion strengthens BRI's international network, which includes BRI New York Agency (BRINYA), BRI Singapore Branch (BRISG), BRI Hong Kong Representative Office (BRI HKRO), BRI Timor Leste Branch (BRITL), and BRI Cayman Island Branch (BRICIB).
