GOJEK rips billboard pages on a daily basis this Ramadan

GOJEK has installed a billboard calendar at Mampang, South Jakarta that displays daily good deeds. The pages will be ripped every day throughout the period of Ramadan to inspire different good deed for different day. At the start of May, GOJEK also wiped out its Instagram account, leaving a post explaining its actions to puzzled followers. The efforts come as part of GOJEK’s #CariKebaikan (#SearchforGoodness) Ramadan campaign, which calls for users to make the most of the holy month. The post, which has garnered over 38,000 likes, said that it is a symbolic move to “cleanse” its social media and start anew by posting only goodness. In a statement to Marketing Interactive, a GOJEK spokesperson said the archival of content represents purity and seeks to welcome Ramadan. During the month, GOJEK’s Instagram will only provide #HanyaKebaikan (#OnlyGoodness) content that inspire users to continue #CariKebaikan, he added. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw8k5_BH3aF/ According to GOJEK’s internal data, there was a shift in trend on consumers behaviour during Ramadan.
