AKHMAD FIRMANNAMAL

Hey there!
I'm Firmannamal, and I'm all about connecting people and ideas in this ever-evolving digital world. With over 17 years of experience, I've had the incredible opportunity to work as a Public Relations (PR) professional and digital communication expert, crafting winning partnership strategies for both private companies and government initiatives. Think of me as your go-to person for bridging gaps and building strong, lasting relationships.

My passion lies in leveraging the power of communication to tell compelling stories and drive meaningful engagement. Whether it's social media management, branding, or designing a clever creative communication strategy, I thrive on finding innovative ways to get messages across effectively.

You might have also seen me on stage!
I'm a skilled speaker and facilitator, having shared insights at numerous national and international forums. I love diving into discussions on public relations, social media management, branding, and creative communication strategy, helping others navigate the exciting landscape of modern communication.

Let's connect and collaborate!
