Abstract

Public relations (PR) plays a crucial role in shaping the reputation of healthcare institutions, particularly in building long-term, value-based relationships with the public. In faith-based hospitals, PR efforts are not only about disseminating information but also about reinforcing institutional identity, trust, and emotional engagement through meaningful communication. This study investigates the public relations strategy employed by RSK Mojowarno during its 130th anniversary, which served as a commemorative moment to amplify the hospital’s presence, introduce new healthcare services, and strengthen its public image by integrating Christian values into its messaging. Rather than treating the anniversary as a ceremonial event alone, the hospital implemented a strategic PR campaign involving participatory activities that aligned with both institutional goals and community interests. The research adopts a quasi-qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews with internal stakeholders such as PR staff, human resources personnel, and external community figures, including village leaders. NVivo 15 software was used to assist in thematic coding and analysis, focusing on four dimensions: PR objectives, planning, implementation, and effectiveness. The findings reveal that the strategy centered on three main objectives: promoting healthcare services, reinforcing institutional branding, and engaging with the local community. These were achieved through a series of initiatives such as community health services, blood donation drives, educational seminars, media publication through both digital and offline channels, and collaboration with sponsors and religious institutions. Furthermore, the success of the strategy was measured by event participation, the achievement of program targets, and positive public feedback, especially from social media platforms and direct community responses. The study concludes that commemorative PR, when guided by clear objectives and grounded in institutional values, can serve as an effective approach for enhancing public trust, fostering meaningful relationships, and sustaining a positive institutional image within the healthcare sector.

Abstract

In 2021, East Java Province, Indonesia, stood out as a leading provider of education services among the nation's 34 provinces. Private schools, predominant in East Java, surpassed their public counterparts, demonstrating early marketing efforts and innovation. BMC School, situated in Gresik Regency, known as the "City of the Wali Songo," oversees four schools from kindergarten to junior high, emphasizing a Christian foundation and a Theology curriculum. Their annual Admission of New Students program serves as a crucial marketing initiative, employing Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) strategies such as advertising, digital interactive marketing, personal selling, event marketing, sponsorship, and sales promotion. The research investigates a significant rise in new student enrollments for the 2022/2023 academic year, seeking to determine parents' and guardians' preferred IMC methods. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive approach, the study gathered data through questionnaires, with total sampling involving 70 respondents—parents and guardians who enrolled their children at BMC School Gresik. Survey responses were weighted and averaged, revealing the preferred ranking of IMC activities as interactive digital marketing, event marketing and sponsorship, advertising, and personal selling.
