Abstract :

This research outlines a strategy for increasing K Commerce’s awareness of the brand in Indonesia’s competitive eCommerce landscape, specifically in the Jabodetabek region. An integrated marketing communication approach combining segmentation, targeting, positioning, values laddering, and the PDB triangle is offered using Kotler’s STP model and differentiation concept. The findings of the study highlight a positioning and differentiation approach based on customer centricity, trust, innovation, and enjoyment. The importance of optimal content, context, and infrastructure is emphasized. Proposed taglines capture K Commerce’s brand spirit, and the marketing communication strategy devised plans to overcome the awareness-appeal gap, placing K Commerce as a top brand choice among Millennials and Generation Z. This research will be used to improve K Commerce’s awareness and position in eCommerce.
