Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic enhanced digital penetration in Indonesia’s social media environment. After YouTube was commercialized, social media influencers on the platform started to create their own personally developed brands. One such case was Menantea, a brand that successfully developed during a pandemic despite only being conceptualized by a YouTuber several weeks prior to launch. Thus, the researchers were interested in understanding the reasons behind the successful launch of Jerome Polin’s Menantea brand. The research framework analyzed the indirect relationship between physical attractiveness, attitude homophily, social attractiveness, interactivity and openness towards purchase intention through credibility and parasocial interaction. The research was conducted through a quantitative approach with simple random sampling through online questionnaires on a sample that has seen Jerome Polin’s YouTube channel. Data from 106 respondents were analyzed using PLS-SEM through SmartPLS 3. The findings showed that physical attractiveness and attitude homophily had a significant positive effect on credibility, and that interactivity had a significant positive effect on parasocial interaction. Additionally, the findings also indicated that credibility and parasocial interaction had a significant positive effect on purchase intention. Notably, physical attractiveness, attitude homophily, social attractiveness and openness were not found to have a significant effect on parasocial interaction.Keywords: Purchase intention, Physical attractiveness, Attitude homophily, Social attractiveness, Interactivity, Openness, Credibility, Parasocial interaction

With a strong customer base mainly coming from millennial and Gen Z, Spotify is often considered to be the leading pioneer in music streaming service through the implementation of freemium business model. Although Spotify has dominated the music streaming market in the West, there is a much intense competition in the East – specifically in Indonesia – given the existence of other powerful players. Therefore, the researchers are eager to identify the factors influencing the intention to keep on using Spotify Premium among millennial and Gen Z users in Indonesia based on a “Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2)”. This research will be conducted through a quantitative approach using simple random sampling with the use of online questionnaire, and will be analyzed through “Partial Least Squares – Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM)” with the help of SmartPLS software. A total of 100 valid responses are obtained from this research, showing that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and habit significantly affects behavioral intention, whereas social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, and price value do not.Keywords: UTAUT2, Behavioral intention, Music streaming service, Spotify Premium, Millennial, Gen Z, Indonesia

Among all the players, J&T Express is one of the most prominent courier providers being used in Indonesia.

To conduct the study, respondents with a minimum age of 17 years old, who have ever used J&T Express’ service and seen its official social media content, were selected through simple random sampling method. A total of 104 valid respondents were analyzed using PLS-SEM. The findings show that brand image significantly influenced purchase intention.
