CHALLENGE

A leading non-profit-organisation advocating LGBTIQ+ political & human rights in Sri Lanka approached us to develop a comprehensive communication strategy that helps destigmatise current perceptions

    • Defined the communication objectives
    • Crafted the communication concepts that address relevant tensions & helps to achieve the communication objectives
