The increase in purchasing decisions for Lemonilo Instant Noodles was heavily influenced by the presence of NCT Dream as brand ambassador. However, this effect was short-lived, resulting in a decrease in Lemonilo's sales. The decline in Lemonilo sales was also influenced by negative electronic word of mouth, which affected consumers' purchasing decisions. This study aims to examine the influence of brand ambassadors and electronic word of mouth on the purchase decisions of Lemonilo instant noodles in Medan. This study uses a quantitative method with an associative approach. The sample is taken using non-probability sampling with purposive sampling technique, involving 100 respondents as the sample.
