<![CDATA[The rapid expansion of e-commerce, particularly in the fashion retail sector, has emphasized the importance of digital marketing strategies such as user-generated content (UGC) and influencer marketing. This study investigates how UGC and influencer marketing influence consumers' purchase intention on Shopee, with user engagement as a mediating variable. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through online surveys from 150 Shopee users who had encountered fashion-related content either from users or influencers.

The study underscores the importance of fostering authentic engagement through personalized content and strategic influencer partnerships. These insights offer practical implications for fashion brands and marketers in optimizing their social media strategies to drive online sales effectively.]]>
