Abstract

This study examines the effects of Social Media Marketing Content and Peer Influence on the purchase intention of rice bowl consumers in Makassar, with Attitude toward Advertising as a mediating variable. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 150 Gen Z respondents through questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The study aims to explain how visually engaging content and social interaction influence consumer attitudes and purchasing decisions in a highly competitive culinary market. The findings provide practical insights for MSMEs in designing socially responsive digital marketing strategies.
