Abstract

Digital marketing is developing more and more significantly, especially since the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. The decision to stay at home in several countries including Indonesia has forced various levels of society to work from home. As a result, many individuals use social media to carry out activities such as seeking entertainment, socializing, and shopping for daily necessities.

Buzzohero as a Social Media Advertising Platform takes this opportunity by optimizing the TikTok Live Streaming feature in marketing products from various brands, which are their clients. This study aims to analyse Buzzohero's strategy in forming engagement through Social Commerce on TikTok Live Streaming. This study uses a qualitative methodology with an interpretive paradigm. The data collection technique uses interviews as primary data. While the secondary data the authors obtained through observations on TikTok Live Streaming content, documentation, and literature. The results of this research analysis associated using the RACE model (Reach, Act, Convert, and Engage) as a digital marketing framework representing distinct stages of the marketing process that is widely used that facilitates the development and implementation of successful marketing strategies.

Abstract

One compelling example of events that attracted public interest in crisis response and image repair is the episode of a deadly explosion that rocked Ibadan, the capital city of Oyo State, Nigeria, especially because of its implications for public safety, citizens’ well-being, and the government’s reputation. However, despite the prevalence of crises among Nigerian institutions, and how crises can be politicized to lead to more crises, there is a dearth of empirical investigations on the application of Benoit’s Image Repair, particularly regarding how the government repaired its reputation during crisis. Therefore, this study, adopting the Image Repair Theory as a framework, examined how the Oyo State Government of Nigeria repaired its reputation following the recent explosion that claimed many lives and left many injured. Data were sourced from responses and communication of the Oyo State Government on the official X page. Findings revealed that the government’s denial was not accepted by the public. However, the government managed its reputation through corrective action and compensation. This paper argues that government must not be discreet with its crisis response strategies. The analysis finds that a political leader’s presence and empathy are crucial in making compensation more effective as an image repair strategy.

Abstract

Recent commodification studies tend to pay more attention to what is commodified but less to exaggerated narration that aims to boost the process specifically, particularly in Indonesia’s YouTube industry. This study aims to deconstruct how Atta Halilintar (AH), a top Indonesian YouTuber, uses exaggerated narrations as an extra flavor in his commodification practice in order to manage his power in the industry. Using Vincent Mosco’s view on commodification and multimodal critical discourse analysis framework, this study reveals how those exaggerated narrations are embedded in various aspects of the content such as titles, thumbnails, photography compositions, and conversations. The result of this study shows that AH exaggerated the narrations in his content to make it more enjoyable and subsequently easier to market both to the audience and advertising messages, no matter if the information is truly valid or not. Eventually, this action can be seen as an attempt by the content creator to do their political economy of communication agenda in the context of Indonesia’s YouTube industry, which is to help the content creator keep his power. As a consequence, this action at some point can harm the doer’s public image since there is an impression that they tend to neglect ethical values just for their political economy agenda. Thus, exaggerated narrations should get more attention in the future commodification of content studies due to insufficient conceptual exploration.

Abstract

Premised on media substitution and uses and gratification theories, this study evaluates the increasing prominence of TikTok media content as it transforms traditional television viewing practices focusing on users between 18 and 34 years old. This research analyzed quantitative data to understand how short-form customized interactive TikTok content affects people's media habits and advertising results. User behavior has drastically evolved since people now dedicate their time primarily to TikTok rather than traditional television watching. Users transition to this platform primarily because it offers straightforward features and intelligent recommendation systems together with time-efficient content delivery. The research finds that TikTok continues to expand its influence on digital advertising landscapes. The research demonstrated that people chose TikTok ads over conventional television advertisements because they felt more connected and got better buying influences. Through its features of interactive content and user-generated material as well as viral trends TikTok functions effectively for advertisers by engaging audiences. According to the study conventional television networks need to find ways to innovate and integrate short-form digital content within their strategies for remaining relevant amid ongoing digital platform evolution. These findings suggest that the media world is transforming because viewers now interact with ads differently through TikTok and its associated apps as digital platforms take over consumer habits.

Abstract

This literature review examines social media's role in increasing public political engagement in the digital era, synthesizing 17 scientific sources from the last five years. Digital transformation has reshaped political participation, fostering faster, more open, and decentralized interactions. The study explores five key themes: the theoretical basis of political participation, mechanisms for increasing engagement through social media (e.g., shaping public opinion via digital platforms and phenomena like "Emergency Warning"), digital mobilization strategies of political figures (illustrated by the "Anies Bubble" discourse and its use of symbols and narratives), the impact of information technology on political communication and elite-public interaction, and the challenges and opportunities of digital democracy, including disinformation, polarization, and digital literacy gaps. Findings indicate social media's strategic role in promoting broader political participation. However, realizing its full potential necessitates robust digital literacy, adaptive regulations, and responsible platform governance to enhance the quality of digital democracy.

Abstract

This study takes a theoretical approach to examine the interconnectedness of brand management, influencer marketing, and public relations within Nigeria’s hospitality industry, focusing on the growing role of social media celebrity influencers. Brands serve as symbolic constructs that shape consumer perceptions, emotional connections, and purchasing decisions. Successful branding extends beyond differentiation to foster trust, loyalty, and engagement. With the rise of digital media, public relations strategies have evolved, allowing hospitality businesses to leverage influencers for enhanced visibility and consumer connection. These influencers, perceived as credible and aspirational figures, play a pivotal role in shaping consumer attitudes and brand perception. To maximise the impact of influencer marketing, Nigerian hospitality business owners are to carefully select influencers whose values align with their brand identity. Reliable partnerships foster stronger consumer trust and engagement. Stakeholders need to integrate conventional and modern branding elements, focusing on consistent visual identity, consumer experiences, and reputation management. Emotional connections, built on shared values and positive brand experiences, are essential for long-term success. Additionally, PR experts should utilise data analytics to guide strategic decision-making in brand management, influencer partnerships, and service delivery. By adopting a holistic, data-driven approach to influencer marketing and public relations, hospitality businesses can enhance their competitive edge, sustain growth, and navigate the evolving dynamics of Nigeria’s digital marketplace.

Abstract

A compelling example of events that attracted public interest in crisis response and image repair is the recent deadly explosion in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, Nigeria, an event with significant implications for public safety, citizen well-being, and government credibility. This case is particularly relevant to governmental communication, as effective crisis communication strategies are vital for image repair during and after such events. Despite the frequency of crises involving Nigerian institutions, and the tendency for such crises to be politicized, there is a notable dearth of empirical studies applying Benoit’s Image Repair Theory to governmental responses. This study addresses that gap by examining how the Oyo State Government restored its image and reputation following the explosion. Using Image Repair Theory as a framework, the study analyzed official communications posted on the Oyo State government’s X (formerly Twitter) page. Findings indicate that the public rejected the government's initial denial, but image repair was achieved through corrective action and compensation. This paper argues that government must not be discreet with its crisis response strategies. The analysis, therefore, underscores the importance of transparency and political leaders' visible presence and empathy in enhancing the effectiveness of image repair strategies. These findings contribute to the crisis communication and governance literature, offering broader implications for crisis management and political accountability in Nigeria.
