Abstract

In the increasingly competitive culinary industry, food businesses must adopt strategies to differentiate themselves in what is often referred to as a “red ocean” market. This Program Kreativitas Mahasiswa (PKM) project focuses on enhancing consumer engagement and brand loyalty for One More, a culinary business offering churros that blend international culinary trends with local flavors. The project employs a digital marketing strategy through Instagram, utilizing interactive features such as Stories and Reels to engage consumers actively. The implementation of this strategy has led to a significant increase in consumer engagement, evidenced by higher interaction rates and a growing number of followers on Instagram, along with positive word-of-mouth promotion. This social media-based marketing strategy is anticipated to effectively build brand loyalty for One More, thereby strengthening its position in the competitive market. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of ethical branding practices in gaining consumer trust and loyalty. By leveraging modern digital tools, One More aims to create meaningful connections with its audience, fostering a sense of community around the brand. This approach not only enhances market presence but also ensures that One More remains responsive to consumer needs and preferences.
