<![CDATA[Purpose of the study: This study examines how platform power, digital packaging innovation, and visual branding techniques interact to influence consumer engagement within digital media ecosystems, with particular attention to emerging markets such as Indonesia. Materials and methods: A systematic literature review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A comprehensive electronic search was performed across four databases—Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and DOAJ—using Boolean keyword combinations. Twelve peer-reviewed studies published between 2021 and 2025 were ultimately selected for full analysis following the application of predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The synthesis reveals that effective visual branding in platform-mediated environments is governed by three interdependent dimensions: (1) platform architecture and algorithmic logic; (2) content strategy encompassing gamification, live-streaming, and owned media; and (3) consumer engagement outcomes at cognitive, emotional, and behavioural levels. Digital packaging innovations—including QR codes, NFC technology, and augmented reality—function as bridges connecting physical products to digital brand ecosystems, while cross-cultural differences significantly moderate strategy effectiveness. Conclusions: Brands operating in complex multi-platform digital environments must adopt context-sensitive, platform-specific visual branding strategies that integrate technological innovation, cultural nuance, and ethical data practices. A one-size-fits-all approach is inadequate in today’s fragmented digital ecosystem. Future longitudinal and cross-cultural empirical studies are needed to validate the proposed integrated framework.]]>
