ROLE CONTEXT & CHALLENGE

Executive Responsibility & In-House Pivot

As the sole internal Corporate Communications Specialist for the GIIAS 2025 project, Devina spearheaded the end-to-end execution of the Astra Financial Journalist Competition 2025, taking over and optimizing responsibilities previously handled by a 5-person external agency. In 2024, the baseline delivered only 90 submissions (45% target) with vendor delays. The challenge was rebuilding trust, simplifying terms, and driving rapid participation.

Key Bottleneck Solved: Eliminated agency dependency to achieve 3.3x output growth

  • Event Co-ordination: Coordinated media handling during GIIAS 2025 press day and AsFin Talks sessions.

TACTICAL EXECUTION

Strategic Innovations & Campaign Tactics

One Budget, Two Benefits Incentive Strategy

Designed an early-bird incentive of Rp100,000 AstraPay balance for the first 50 submissions (funded outside the Rp35M prize pool). This mechanic drove fast submission conversion right after GIIAS press day while exposing the AstraPay e-wallet ecosystem to 300+ national journalists.

Single Source of Truth T&C & 1-on-1 Media Outreach

Created a clean one-page T&C infographic answering all key questions (theme, angles, deadlines, prizes) upfront. Engaged 300+ journalists via personalized WhatsApp messages (no broadcast spam), leading to 8 published press releases and 5 announcement publications.
