Grace Susetyo

I'm a seasoned features writer with distinct storytelling capabilities that can add unique human insights valuable to making your brand's narrative a personal one to your audience/consumers. Culture and creative energy have always been my passion in journalism and storytelling, and in the last five years I have been focusing on writing about heritage and social conscious traveling--currently "sexy" themes in Indonesian branding. In addition to journalistic experience in print media, online media and television, I also conducted research pertaining to the impact of business presence on the narratives of the industry and local stakeholders. I am currently working on a book on cultural identity and reflections of interconnected consumerist development dynamics in Indonesia's diverse communities, packaged in the format of a literary travel memoir. I am trained in SEO and e-mail direct marketing, and am keen to help companies/organisations develop newsworthiness in the media/social media through building socially conscious reputations. Am also able to write scripts and host videos for web content. Can work as a native speaker in English and seven local Malay dialects of Indonesian, and communicate in Dutch--a language that may come in handy if colonial history and vintage Indonesian imagery is relevant to your brand.
