The method used is a case study with a qualitative approach, involving interviews with business actors, coffee farmers, and related communities. The survey results indicate that implementing BRK city branding strengthens DOA Coffee's brand equity by increasing geographic legitimacy and fostering synergy among farmers, roasteries, and the tourism sector.

These findings contribute to the development of MSME strategies grounded in local potential and provide insights for business actors and the government in building a creative economy based on regionally superior products, with an emphasis on the role of education in enhancing MSME actors' capabilities.
