<![CDATA[ABSTRACT Drug abuse young people in the Sukabumi area continues to increase, requiring adaptive communication strategies. BNNK Sukabumi utilizes the Instagram account @infobnn_kab_sukabumi as a digital communication, information, and education medium, although its management still faces challenges related to engagement and inconsistent content uploads. This study aims to analyze the strategy and implementation of Instagram management by BNNK Sukabumi in building awareness of drug abuse prevention using The Circular Model of Some approach. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method with an inductive approach. The results show that in the sharing stage, the educational content distributed had been adjusted to the characteristics of adolescent and young adult audiences. The optimizing stage indicates that the use of reels and hastags became the most effevtive strategy for expanding the reach of educational messages. The managing stage still faced obstacles in the form of limited human resources and the absence of structured content calendar. The engaging stage revealed that audience interaction remained passive and was dominated by llikes, although it was strengthened through collaboration with Duta Anti Narkoba as peer educators. Keywords: instagram, awareness, management, the circular model of some.
