Abstract

According to Mukromin (2019), advertising refers to activities aimed at introducing goods or services through mass media or other forms of communication, with the purpose of interpreting the quality of a product or service based on consumer needs and desires. The main objective of advertising is to communicate the product being promoted through various media channels. The IM3 advertisement titled "Dekatkan Jarak Nyatakan Silaturahmi" is part of the marketing communication strategy launched by Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison under the IM3 brand. The value of communication conveyed in the advertisement lies in addressing a psychological distance that feels significant, despite the physical proximity between individuals, as portrayed through the characters of a mother and her child. This advertisement builds a myth that IM3 serves as the solution to bridging the emotional gap between a mother and her child.

Abstract

Kampung Tematik Elo Pukek, located along the coastal area of Padang, West Sumatra, is a culturally significant fishing village recognized for its traditional maelo pukek fishing method. Despite official recognition and its potential as a tourism and educational destination, the area remains under-promoted, particularly on digital platforms. This study investigates how social media can be utilized as a strategic communication tool to enhance the recognition and visibility of Kampung Tematik Elo Pukek. The objectives of this research are twofold: (1) to explore effective approaches for promoting the village through social media, and (2) to identify the socio-economic and cultural benefits of increased recognition for the local community. A qualitative research method was employed, involving in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation during the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) community service program. The findings highlight a gap in local digital literacy and community initiative, which limits consistent and impactful content creation on platforms such as Instagram. However, the research also demonstrates that even minimal, well-executed online promotion can positively influence tourism interest and community engagement. Increased recognition through social media has the potential to strengthen local identity, boost economic activity, and preserve traditional knowledge. This study concludes that community-based digital participation is essential for sustainable recognition and development of Kampung Tematik Elo Pukek.

Abstract

This study delves into the nuanced intersection between morality and populism in West Sumatra, specifically examining the emergence of Islamic populism post-Reform.

Conformity, entrenched in tradition and religion, holds substantial sway in societal evaluations and restraints. The communal societal perspective, prevailing over individualistic notions, serves as a regulatory force in tandem with community values
