Education is essential for all human beings with noble goals individually, namely to increase the standard and quality of life, and collectively, to contribute socially to a more prosperous society. An important role is held by formal educational institutions with a set of facilities that they have for the quality of educational services provided to all their students. Elementary schools which are the first and main level of education need to ensure that the quality of services they provide from all aspects can contribute significantly to all students. The concept of inclusiveness which is a friendly service concept for all people is a trend and a special attraction in the world of education today. Educational institutions (including inclusive primary schools) that require financial stability require good business execution to survive facing competition in the market. Alfa Centauri Primary School, which is one of the players in the industry, feels the intense competition within it. For the last six years, Alfa Centauri Primary School has not been able to meet the quota of students they receive, so it can be said that their performance is still not optimal. It is necessary to improve, evaluate and form a good marketing strategy to be able to get consumers, where the actual consumers are parents of students. This study uses qualitative and quantitative approaches in data collection and processing. The analysis boils down to two perspectives, internal analysis using marketing mix analysis, STP, and VRIO; as well as external analysis using competitor analysis, Porter's Five Forces, PESTLE, and customer analysis. There are findings in the customer analysis that the school environment and school accessibility are two things that influence parents' enrollment intentions in sending their children to inclusive private elementary schools. Optimizing social media, strategic collaboration, providing shuttle services, optimizing personalization-based learning, creating a comfortable learning environment, and utilizing activities outside the classroom are marketing strategies formulated in this study to increase the number of registrants from Alfa Centauri Primary School.


INTRODUCTION
Indonesia's economy has been severely impacted by the global pandemic called Covid-19.Many firms have been forced to move their activities online as a result of the government's efforts to contain and mitigate the pandemic.Businesses that have not yet adopted digital technology have discovered that they must change in order to survive.Indonesian enterprises must overcome numerous obstacles before becoming fully digital.Many of these firms lack the infrastructure to enable turning digital, and worries about security have made them hesitant.Due to the risk of cyberattacks and paucity of resources, it was particularly challenging for some firms to fully digitize.Enterprises must enable and reciprocate the digital attitude and culture within the firm in order to pivot and begin the digital transformation process.They need to locate the appropriate personnel who are talented and knowledgeable about the technology that will be adopted or applied.It would take time for them to fully comprehend the extent of what they must do in order to survive.In the wake of the recent global pandemic, many firms are focusing on their information technology capability to deal with the unpredictability that this has brought onto the economy.However, there are new perspectives on the digital transformation in the future due to the low touch economy that is anticipated in the market.Indonesia's government has launched 100 main initiatives in 10 priority sectors, focusing on digital infrastructure, digital government, digital economy, and digital society.There are opportunities for new technology trends to accelerate the digital government transformation such as smart city, cloud computing, cyber security, artificial intelligence, internet of things, big data analytics, etc. Indonesia is one of the 10 top countries with the largest numbers of startups in 2022.These technology companies are heavily relying on digital infrastructure such as internet broadband, mobile applications, data centers, and networks.To lay the groundwork for a company's digital operations, digital infrastructure brings together and links physical and virtual technology such as computing, storage, network, apps, and IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS platforms.This will help businesses in restructuring their services for scaled-up global digital delivery and to have access to the ecosystems and resources they require to quickly create products and services.Digital infrastructure is a business enabler that acts as competitive advantage sources.Businesses must now more than ever offer contactless solutions, and they will need to leverage data to better understand client needs.On the other hand, Indonesia is one of the APAC region's fastest expanding markets.Many of the world's largest cloud service providers are thinking about creating cloud regions within its boundaries.Public cloud industry is now dominated by SaaS and IaaS models, but PaaS is predicted to develop at the fastest rate.Cloudgear (a pseudonym due to confidentiality) as one of local Indonesian cloud service provider wants to take this opportunity to grow their business.Cloudgear has a comprehensive service portfolio consisting of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), Professional as a Software (PaaS), professional services, and multi-cloud services.Focusing on cloud capabilities development itself, Cloudgear is targeted to lead the B2B IT services of its parent company.This led to the needs of Cloudgear to expand and strengthen their capabilities.However, based on the interview with ten cloud engineers and specialists in different companies, most of them are not aware that Cloudgear is a cloud solution from Indonesia.Therefore, the next challenge is how to improve brand awareness of Cloudgear by formulating the right marketing strategy.Because it will strengthen the brand and develop Cloudgear competitive advantage for the company's future growth.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Brand awareness can be broken down into four distinct stages: brand oblivion, brand recognition, brand recollection, and finally, brand persistence at the top of memory where it develops into an automatic nature [1].Three factors can be used to measure brand awareness [2].First, the brand's level of exposure when used as a cue.Second, the degree of familiarity attained through repeated brand exposures, which may lead to a consumer's improved recognition and memory of the brand.Third, how frequently you hear people discussing the associated brand.Marketing communication initiatives across all media support brand equity and sales in a number of ways, including by increasing brand awareness, ingraining the brand image in consumers' minds, evoking positive brand judgments or feelings, and bolstering consumer loyalty [3].Advertising, online and social media, word of mouth, and publicity all have an impact on B2B brand awareness.The organization will be able to influence and mold all awareness sources by effectively managing these factors.Because of their relationship to B2B brand awareness, these variables are being used in this study [4].One of the promotional tools that can affect consumer brand awareness and help to build and maintain a favorable perception of the company and its goods is advertising.Its objective is to inform and educate people about the product while also cultivating positive attitudes and providing incentives for them to purchase it.Additionally, advertising is used to generate immediate sales or to build a strong brand image for a product [5].This emphasis on social influence and the significance of advertising in society is reflected in the new definition of advertising as "brand-initiated communication intended to reach people" [6].Getting coverage (recall), enhancing brand image through persuasion messaging, and providing information are the four indicators to develop an efficacy indicator that is tailored to the needs of each advertiser and applicable to the various communication techniques that may exist.This indicator enhances the metrics in two ways: first, it addresses concepts such as brand image and buying intention, which are crucial to the advertiser, in addition to traditional advertising recall, and second, it removes some biases that frequently appear in the measurements [7].According to prior research on advertising, it is evident that advertising, which serves as the primary information source, plays a significant role in building brand awareness and engaging the target audience.In order to create a strong and positive brand awareness among consumers, businesses are increasingly sharing information about their brands through social media activities like managing user-generated content, blogging endorsements, and advertising on social networking sites like Facebook and YouTube [8].In reality, marketers create brand page posts that feature video content, high- quality photos, creative content, and digital storytelling techniques to tell compelling stories that deepen consumers' understanding of the brand [9].Easy use, interaction and widespread participation, fun and entertainment while using, simplicity of public information dissemination, and high credibility are the features of social media that are used as indicators in this research.Therefore, these earlier studies have come to the conclusion that social media is crucial for spreading knowledge using the right platforms and contents by facilitating interactions and engagement [10].Word of Mouth (WOM) is defined as the process through which customers share information and views that steer buyers toward or away from particular products, brands, and services.WOM is classified into two types: (1) Organic WOM, which is WOM that is formed naturally and when a delighted consumer with a product voluntarily and joyfully promotes the product (very much depends on consumer experience) (2) Amplified WOM, or WOM that is conditioned or constructed such that consumers are willing to inform other consumers by targeting "opinion leaders," or people whose opinions are heard, and "surrogate buyers," or expert buyers.The most significant benefit of WOM is that it lowers the company's promotional costs because WOM is less expensive than other forms of promotion [11].
There are three determinants of word of mouth.Frequent interactions often occur between people who are more extraverted and more susceptible to interpersonal factors to receive the word-of-mouth information.Credible expertise refers to the source's perceived expertise, defined as the source's level of expertise and experience with regard to the product or organization.This can be considered as someone who has a higher level of involvement with the product or service.Closeness defines the tie strength relationship between the source and recipient of the information.Stronger ties, such as close friends, are often more easily accessible and lead to more frequent engagement, allowing for the request or provision of word-of-mouth information [12].The term "publicity" covers a broad range of activities designed to enhance or defend the reputation of a business or specific products.Publicity includes non-personal communications like press releases, media appearances, press conferences, feature stories, newsletters, photos, movies, and audiotapes.Public relations include, among other things, annual reports, membership drives, lobbying, managing special events, and public affairs [13].The establishment and maintenance of strong media relations to get stories covered, lobbying for change in institutions like the government and other organizations, and planning and supporting events are all ways that an organization can achieve its PR objectives.Contrary to advertising, public relations can lead to publicity, which focuses on communications that are not sponsored or managed by the organization [14].Publicity is influenced by the recognition of messages and recall of messages [15].Recognition of messages is the audience awareness of media content displayed while recall of messages is the audience is capable of remembering the message.After determining the variables and indicators, the conceptual framework can be defined as below Figure 1.

METHODOLOGY
The sample size for problem solving research is 200 samples [16].Thus, the customer analysis questionnaire is using 200 samples.The sampling is limited to people that are working in companies that use or look for cloud services information.The questionnaire is using close-ended questions with Likert Scale of 1 to 5 [17] to identify the five variables.Customer analysis is conducted by using multiple linear regression analysis methods in SPSS.A software package for managing data and performing statistical analysis is called SPSS.SPSS played a significant role in revolutionizing social science research methodologies.It allowed researchers to carry As seen in Figure 7, to determine the brand recognition of Cloudgear, there are three questions that are asked to the respondents.
First, regarding the level of exposure is "I have heard about Cloudgear", second is "I am familiar with Cloudgear", and third is "I have listened to people talk about Cloudgear".The result of the first question is that 119 respondents strongly disagree that they have heard about Cloudgear while only respondents strongly agree that they have heard about Cloudgear.This means there are 59.5% of respondents that strongly disagree that they have heard about Cloudgear while only 3.5% strongly agree that they have heard Cloudgear.The result of the second question is that there are 125 respondents that strongly disagree that they are familiar with Cloudgear while only 7 respondents that strongly agree that they are familiar with Cloudgear.The graph indicates 62.5% of respondents that strongly disagree with the familiarity of Cloudgear and only 3.5% that strongly agree.This means that the Cloudgear level of familiarity is very low.The third question resulted in 117 respondents strongly disagreeing that they have listened to people talk about Cloudgear while only 9 respondents strongly agree.It shows that 58.5% strongly disagree they have listened to people talk about Cloudgear and only 4.5% that strongly agree.Therefore, it can be concluded that the level of exposure, level of familiarity, and frequency of listening people talk about Cloudgear as cloud service are very low.

Multiple Linear Regression Analysis
In this study using multiple regression analysis to determine the significant or not the effect of independent variables namely Advertising (X1), Social Media (X2), Word of Mouth (X3), and Publicity (X4) on Brand Awareness (Y).The X3 variable's regression coefficient is 0.130, which means that a 1 unit increase in the X3 variable will result in a 0.130 unit increase in the Y variable.The coefficient is positive, indicating that the X3 variable and the Y variable have a relationship that is directional, meaning that as the X3 variable rises, the Y variable rises as well.This implies that the relationship between the X3 variable's value and the Y variable is inverse: the higher the X3 variable's value, the higher the Y variable's value, and vice versa.According to the t value, the effect of the X3 variable on the Y variable is 0.001 0.050, and the t-count value is 3.448 > the t table (1.97220), where Ho is rejected and H3 is accepted, indicating that the effect of X3 on Variable Y is significant.

Figure 10. Source of Respondents Word of Mouth regarding Cloud Service
In this questionnaire question as shown in Figure 10, respondents are being asked from whom did they get information about cloud services.71.1% of the respondents know the information about cloud service from experts or cloud service users.However, 59.8% of them also get the information from their friends.

D. Publicity (X4)
The X4 variable's regression coefficient is 0.163, which means that a change in the X4 variable of 1 unit will result in a change in the Y variable of 0.163 units.The coefficient is positive, indicating that the X4 variable and the Y variable have a relationship that is directional, meaning that as the X4 variable rises, the Y variable rises as well.This implies that the relationship between the X4 variable's value and the Y variable is inverse: the higher the X4 variable's value, the higher the Y variable's value, and vice versa.According to the t value, the effect of the X4 variable on the Y variable is 0.004 0.050, and the t-count value is Figure 11.Publicity Media Preferences Respondents are being asked regarding in which publicity media did they prefer to looking for cloud service information in Figure 11.78.4% of them prefer go to company website to get the cloud service information.While 48.5% prefer community and 38.2% prefer to get the information from press releases and publications.As can be seen from Table 2, the R Square value is 0.501, or 50.1%.This graph illustrates the combined impact of variables X1 through X4 on variable Y, with the error value or other variables having an influence on the remaining 49.9%.

F Test
The calculated F value is greater than the F table value (49.020 > 2.42), with a significance value of 0.000 0.05, according to Table 3.As a result, H0 is disproved and Ha is accepted, indicating that variables X1 to X4 have an impact on variable Y when tested simultaneously or simultaneously.

Root Cause Analysis
After the customer analysis are done, the root cause is being analyzed by using the five why's method.Low brand awareness of Cloudgear that has been determined by the interview with 10 people as explained before in the business problem caused by Cloudgear is considered as a newcomer in the cloud service industry.This happened because of the unfamiliarity of Cloudgear in the market due to limited information found in online and offline media.The lack of advertising, social media, word of mouth, and publicity are still low because Cloudgear marketing communication is still not developed and integrated as shown in Figure 12.Proposed Marketing Strategy 1. Make a referral program by affiliate marketing A referral program by affiliate marketing is a marketing strategy that rewards people that join on the program for referring new customers to Cloudgear.It works by offering incentives to these people for recommending the business to others.This incentivizes them to promote the business and encourages more new customers to come in.They only need to join the Cloudgear affiliate program and place banner/text ads on their website/blog/social accounts using the links provided.Visitor who clicks through from their ads to the Cloudgear website are considered a referral.If they make a qualifying purchase, they will receive a bonus.This type of strategy works best when businesses have a wide customer base and when the referral program is properly structured and managed.
