The way Telkomsel pivoted from face-to-face media relations to a virtual model that helped it stay close to media is a testament to Telkomsel’s ingenuity and a deep understanding of the media landscape, built on an already strong partnership foundation. The company’s renewed media relations approach earned it a place as a top finalist for Best Media Relations Strategy at
MARKETING-INTERACTIVE's recent PR Awards 2021.
