The Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta announces an open competition for a grant to conduct a long-term, multi-channel, strategic communications campaign, involving public messaging through traditional and social media, outreach, events, and media engagement, to increase appreciation and understanding among Indonesian audiences of the positive impact of the U.S. private sector and individual U.S. businesses.
The multi-faceted benefits that U.S. companies and business practices bring to Indonesia have been insufficiently portrayed, defined, and messaged, with U.S. government economic communications focused largely in support of key policy efforts (such as IPEF, Blue Dot Network, JETP), and that of U.S. businesses aimed at strengthening their own respective brands. Successful proposals will convey how to align and communicate the achievements, impact, and excellence of the U.S. private sector, from SMEs to large multinational corporations, in Indonesia in support of Brand USA.
