This study aims to analyze the influence of Content Marketing Strategy and Promotion on Customer Loyalty at TOP Advertising. This study uses a quantitative method with primary data obtained through distributing questionnaires to 126 respondents using a saturated sample method. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, partial tests (t-tests), simultaneous tests (F-tests), and coefficient of determination (R²) tests. The results show that Marketing Strategy has a positive and significant effect on Customer Loyalty with a t-value of 1.660 > t-table 1.657 and a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05. This finding is in line with the research of Setiayasa et al. (2024) and Darado et al. (2023) which also stated that Marketing Strategy has a significant effect on Customer Loyalty. Meanwhile, Promotion does not have a significant effect on Customer Loyalty, with a t-value of 0.843 < t-table 1.657 even though it has a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05. Simultaneously, Marketing and Promotion Strategy does not have a significant effect on Customer Loyalty, indicated by the Fcount value of 1.770 < Ftable 3.07 with a significance of 0.000 < 0.05. The results of the determination coefficient (R²) test of 0.427 indicate that 42.7% of the variation in Customer Loyalty can be explained by Marketing and Promotion Strategy, while the remaining 57.3% is influenced by other factors outside this study, such as service quality, trust, and customer satisfaction.

In today's digital world, alongside worldwide problems like environmental harm from human actions and rising global temperatures, there's a growing understanding of the need to protect our environment. The extensive reporting on waste-related issues has captured widespread attention, leading to heightened public worry and greater environmental consciousness. This situation has motivated businesses to actively participate in environmental preservation efforts, working alongside the community. This research seeks to determine how financial technology impacts brand loyalty, to explore green marketing's effect on brand loyalty, and to assess the combined effect of financial technology and green marketing on brand loyalty. This study will survey all Starbucks customers in 2024, using a sample group of 160 individuals, obtained using Hair et al collected using questionnaire. The study's findings indicate that both financial technology and green marketing independently influence brand loyalty to some extent, and that together, they have a combined impact on brand loyalty partially or simultaneously.

The amusement park industry is experiencing rapid growth, driven by rising consumer expectations and an increasing emphasis on sustainability. This study explores the integration of facility quality and service quality as a strategic approach to enhancing long-term visitor satisfaction within the amusement park sector. Grounded in the SERVQUAL model and the principles of sustainable service design, the research investigates how the synergy between physical infrastructure and human-centered service delivery influences visitor satisfaction and loyalty. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative survey data from amusement park visitors with qualitative insights derived from management interviews. The findings reveal that both facility quality and service quality significantly impact visitor satisfaction, with service quality exerting a more direct effect. Furthermore, sustainability practices embedded within these elements function as mediators that strengthen visitors’ trust and their intention to revisit. This study underscores the importance of holistic and integrated strategies for amusement parks aiming to sustain competitive advantage and foster long-term relationships with visitors in an increasingly experience-driven economy.

The purpose of this research was to ascertain the connection between sex and their awareness of ecological issues in relation to purchasing decisions that promote sustainability, as well as the employment of environmentally friendly marketing strategies. In addition, this research endeavors to discover if ecological marketing can regulate the effects of both gender and ecological awareness on the encouragement of sustainable purchasing habits. One hundred participants were chosen for the study, all of whom had bought items from the Gajah Mada Medan branch of Pizza Hut while the study was being conducted; the exact number of respondents was not known. Purposive sampling was the method utilized in the selection of the sample. The findings of the study demonstrated that there was a substantial and favorable association between one's gender and their acceptance of green marketing strategies; that there was a considerable and favorable association between one's ecological awareness and their acceptance of green marketing strategies; that there was a substantial and favorable association between one's gender and their adoption of sustainable consumption habits; that one's ecological awareness had no bearing on their adoption of sustainable consumption habits; that there was a substantial and favorable association between the use of green marketing and the promotion of sustainable consumption; that green marketing was able to act as a mediator in the connection between one's gender and their engagement in sustainable consumption; and that green marketing was unable to act as a mediator in the connection between one's ecological awareness and their engagement in sustainable consumption.

This research is motivated by the low levels of customer involvement and loyalty at The Body Shop Thamrin Plaza Medan, despite the outlet implementing promotions, various programs, and recycling workshops. To address this issue, the study employs a quantitative approach with a sample of 100 customers selected using incidental (convenience) sampling through a structured questionnaire. The data were tested for validity and reliability, were found to meet the classical assumptions of normality and multicollinearity, and were then analyzed using multiple linear regression on SPSS version 25. The t-test shows that digital marketing strategies have a significant positive effect on brand loyalty (β = 0.408, t = 4.703, p < 0.05) while environmentally friendly innovations also have a significant positive effect (β = 0.456, t = 4.765, p < 0.05). The overall F test indicates that both variables collectively explain 58.8% of the variation in brand loyalty (F = 69.278, p < 0.05). These results support all three hypotheses and recommend enhancing digital content personalization as well as regularly scheduling green programs to strengthen relationships with consumers and potentially increase brand loyalty for The Body Shop Thamrin Plaza Medan.

This research aims to analyze the role of innovation capability and human resource management in realizing Angliss Bakehouse's competitive advantage in Medan City. The quantitative research method with the Structural Equation Modeling approach based on Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) was applied to 100 consumer respondents through incidental sampling techniques. The results of the analysis showed that innovation capability had a positive and significant effect on competitive advantage with a path coefficient of 0.335 (p=0.021) and an effect size of f² of 0.143, although it was relatively weak. Meanwhile, human resource management exerted a stronger influence with a path coefficient of 0.554 (p < 0.001) and f² of 0.390. The two variables together explain the 71.7 % variation in competitive advantage (R²=0.717, Q²=0.677), confirming the model's predictive relevance. These findings indicate that innovation needs to be supported by effective HR practices for the consistent implementation of new ideas. The practical implications of this research prompted Angliss Bakehouse to strengthen its R&D team, develop structured training modules, and integrate R&D and HR functions. In addition, the digitization of operational and marketing processes, as well as the implementation of an open innovation framework are proposed as strategies to strengthen the competitive base and encourage sustainable business growth.
