Abstract

Brand image and brand association are key elements in building brand identity and perception in the eyes of consumers. Understanding how brand image and brand associations influence consumer purchase intention is critical to business sustainability. When products are associated with sensitive issues such as political issues, such as pro-Israel, it can affect consumer perception in a more complex way. The boycott, divestment, sanctions (BDS) movement calls on followers to abandon major brands because of their direct involvement in supporting Israeli atrocities against Palestinians. Pro-Israel associated products can also have associations with certain political values, beliefs or identities associated with supporting Israel. These associations can influence how consumers perceive the product. Product association with pro-Israel issues can affect consumer purchase intention. This study aims to identify and analyze the influence of brand image and brand association on consumer purchase intention on products with pro-Israel associations. The results of this study identify that brand image and brand association have a significant influence on consumer purchase intention for products with pro-Israel associations, at a rate of 68.9%. Brand image demonstrates a very strong influence (60.5%), where consumers' perceptions of the brand image affect their purchasing decisions. Similarly, a strong and positive brand association also increases purchase intention by 60.2%. The combination of a positive brand image and strong brand association simultaneously shows a highly significant impact on consumer purchase intention.

Abstract

This study aims to retrospectively evaluate PT Dirgantara Indonesia’s (PTDI) public relations (PR) management in constructing the image of the N219 aircraft as a “Karya Anak Bangsa” during the initiation phase in 2019, as well as its impact on the product’s reputation in 2026. Using a qualitative approach with a single-case study method, this study examines the implementation of the Planning, Organizing, Actuating, and Controlling (POAC) management functions through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that despite inter-institutional coordination challenges and limited publication budgets, the PR role as an Expert Prescriber—prioritizing physical validation through aerospace exhibitions—proved pivotal in building long-term market trust. This study reveals the existence of an Efficiency Paradox, wherein cost-efficient digital channels are not always effective in mitigating socio-psychological skepticism toward domestic high-tech products when compared to direct physical interactions. Theoretically, this study contributes to the development of Excellence Theory by emphasizing the importance of validating communication in high-risk manufacturing industries. The research findings recommend the need for a single voice policy across institutions to strengthen public loyalty toward national strategic innovations.

Abstract

Digital disruption has forced Indonesian local radio stations to fundamentally re-examine their business models. This study analyzes how entrepreneurial orientation (EO) is articulated in the transformation of Radio 96.8 KPFM Samarinda's business model through the activities of its Event & Creative Division. A qualitative approach with an explanatory case study method was employed, with data obtained from in-depth interviews and observations. The findings indicate that the transformation took place as a gradual radiomorphosis process in four phases (2007–2026), executed through a Triple O strategy (On-Air, Online, Off-Air) that reconfigured the four elements of the Business Model Canvas. The five dimensions of EO are manifested through adaptive intrapreneurship patterns typical of local media organizations with limited capacity.

Abstract

The success of a company's marketing strategy depends mainly on its brand image. Consumers rely on the brand image to evaluate products or brands. The more favorable the brand image, the more interested and attentive consumers will be towards the product or brand. Oreo is one such brand that partnered with the Korean girl group Blackpink to share giveaway merchandise content on their official Instagram account @oreo_indonesia. A quantitative survey was conducted among Instagram followers of @oreo_indonesia, which revealed a positive and robust impact between the giveaway content and Oreo's brand image. The visual cues in the content significantly influenced brand image, as respondents were already familiar with Oreo's strengths, advantages, and uniqueness. Additionally, the language used in the content piqued the audience's interest in the collaboration and the Oreo brand. Therefore, the research findings demonstrate that Oreo can create a compelling message that motivates consumers to participate in the Blackpink Merchandise Giveaway program. Keywords: brand image, giveaway, merchandise, oreo, Blackpink

Abstract

the advent of social media and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI). This study explores the efficacy of AI-powered social media monitoring tools in evolving PR practices and measuring campaign success. Through a qualitative research approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with three social media researchers who utilize these tools in their professional roles. The study aims to understand the subjective experiences of these researchers, the capabilities and limitations of AI technologies, and the impact of AI on key PR metrics such as brand awareness, reputation, and crisis management. The findings reveal that AI-powered social media monitoring tools significantly enhance the ability of PR professionals to track and analyze large volumes of social media data in real-time. Participants highlighted the benefits of these tools in identifying trends, tracking engagement, and conducting sentiment analysis. However, the study also identifies several challenges, including difficulties in capturing nuanced human emotions and occasional inaccuracies in sentiment classification. These findings align with existing literature, which emphasizes the transformative potential of AI in PR while acknowledging current technological limitations. The study concludes by identifying best practices for integrating AI-powered social media monitoring into PR strategies and highlighting opportunities for future research. These include improving sentiment analysis algorithms, developing AI tools capable of interpreting complex emotions, and exploring the ethical implications of AI in PR. By providing a nuanced understanding of the role of AI in PR, this research offers valuable insights for practitioners and stakeholders, guiding the effective and responsible use of AI technologies in the field.
