Esirom’s Indonesia work is a channel: people on the ground, a creative residency that has run since 2018, and three years at the Indonesia–Latin America and the Caribbean Business Forum.
That is the record. The rest is view.
What is already there
Esirom has had a team in Indonesia. In a Gleaner interview the company later republished, Alex Morrissey, the director, said the Indonesia shop did strategy, brand, photography and videography, with a small team of four at that time. That headcount is not a 2026 census. The point is older than INA-LAC: the company was already working there.
Sama-Sama Bali is an Esirom Limited programme. It is not Foundation work. Since 2018 it has sent Jamaican practitioners in dance, music, visual arts, new media and literary arts to Ubud for a self-directed stay of up to two months. The 2023 reopen named return airfare, Ubud accommodation, and a competitive age band of 22 to 29. Fellows on the public list include Joanna Francis, Ishaka Shango, Carlyle Grant, Danielle Russell and Tiana Anglin. The old apply URL, esirom.com/bali, is no longer live. The programme is the creative lane that already exists.
INA-LAC is a Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Indonesia forum for business between Indonesia and Latin America and the Caribbean. Jakarta, 16–17 October 2023, at the Ritz-Carlton Mega Kuningan. Lima, 11–13 September 2024. São Paulo, 22–23 September 2025. Esirom has said Morrissey attended 2023 for the Jamaica Chamber of Commerce. The forum is a matching room. It is not a signed deal.
Three lanes
Digital. At Jakarta 2023 the ask Esirom put on the table was Indonesian digital and super-app practice into Jamaica’s market. That is still an ask. It is agency work: product, brand, platforms, introductions. We are not announcing a Jamaican super-app.
Waste. Jamaica and Indonesia share a plastic problem. Morrissey told the Jamaica Observer in September 2025 that the team has visited Indonesia more than once to study plastic processing. That sits with Esirom Makes: type 2 and type 5 research, sunglasses still labelled Research, no type 1 line. Esirom Foundation / KHERI collects harbour waste. Collection is nonprofit. Product research is not. Do not send a Foundation invoice for a commercial recycling conversation, or an agency invoice for a cleanup.
Creative. Sama-Sama is the people-to-people piece. Combining Jamaica’s cultural brand with Indonesia’s production scale is a view we hold. The fact is the residency list.
What this is not
It is not a press note about vision. São Paulo 2025 was the third year in the room. We are not listing closed contracts from that week. Kingston is geography. Scale is the agency’s size in Jamaica, not the parish on the letterhead.
What this means. The Indonesia record is a team on the ground, Sama-Sama Bali since 2018, and three years at INA-LAC. It is not a signed super-app or a recycling plant.
What to do. Harbour cleanup and Foundation programmes sit at esiromfoundation.org. Makes product status is on the manufacturing page.
