Vital Strategies has been collaborating with Indonesia’s Ministry of Health on media campaigns since 2014. But to date, the ministry has spent only a mere fraction compared to the tobacco industry’s Goliath promotional budget.

The Vital team continues to initiate campaigns combining creative flair, community engagement, as well as social and earned media.
