<![CDATA[This research paper examines the influence of content marketing, influencers, and social media platforms, particularly TikTok, on consumer purchasing decisions. The study aims to explore the factors that shape consumer behaviour and purchase intentions within the context of digital marketing strategies on platforms like TikTok. The research incorporates three independent variables: influencers (X1), content marketing (X2), and social media (X3), with the dependent variable (Y) being purchase decisions. Data were collected through a questionnaire-based survey of 100 university students in the Tangerang area, using a purposive sampling approach. The data were analysed using multiple linear regression analysis, with assessments of validity, reliability, and classical assumption testing, conducted via SPSS version 26 statistical software. The results confirm that all three independent variables—content marketing, influencers, and social media—have a positive and significant impact on consumer purchasing decisions. Specifically, the t-test results show that the t-value for influencers (X1), which encompasses dimensions such as communication skills, influence, authenticity, and expertise, is 101.690, exceeding the critical t-value of 1.660, thereby affirming its significant influence on purchasing decisions. Similarly, content marketing (X2), measured by dimensions of reliability, disbelief, and persuasion knowledge, recorded a t-value of 95.240, also surpassing the critical t-value. For social media (X3), the t-value was 98.764, again greater than the t-table value, confirming its significant effect on purchase decisions. In hypothesis testing, all alternative hypotheses (Ha1, Ha2, Ha3) were accepted, indicating that influencers, content marketing, and social media significantly influence the purchasing decisions of students in the Tangerang area who use TikTok. The null hypotheses (Ho1, Ho2, Ho3) were accordingly rejected. The study provides empirical evidence of the substantial role digital marketing strategies, particularly on TikTok, play in shaping consumer purchase decisions.]]>
