The focus is on utilizing social media as a political tool to increase Ganjar Pranowo's electability as a presidential candidate. This research was carried out with a qualitative approach, because this qualitative research leads to the interpretation of the phenomena that occur, namely the researcher as the key instrument. Content analysis techniques were applied in this research to understand each of Ganjar Pranowo's digitalization communication strategies in the form of uploading content on social media. The data collection technique uses primary data collected through observation on social media, and secondary data obtained through documentation. The research results show that Ganjar Pranowo is taking advantage of digitalization to increase his electability in the 2024 presidential election. With content that is widely distributed on social media, Ganjar is trying to build strong communication with the public. However, until the end of the campaign, Ganjar was unable to increase his eligibility because the public stigma attached to him caused their trust to slowly recede in the figure of Ganjar who was proposed as a presidential candidate in 2024.</em></p> Muhammad Habibi Putra Pratama, Erwan Efendi Copyright (c) 2024 Medium https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://journal.uir.ac.id/index.php/Medium/article/view/16854 Sun, 30 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0700 Canvassing vs Digital Marketing: Effectiveness of Marketing Communication Methods at PT. Redo Marketing Indonesia https://journal.uir.ac.id/index.php/Medium/article/view/16329 <p><em>Digitization brings about fundamental changes in almost every aspect of life, including marketing communication strategies. PT. Redo Marketing Indonesia, a distributor of beauty clinic equipment, has shifted its marketing strategy from canvassing to digital marketing through the social media platform Instagram. This research aims to examine the effectiveness and the impact of this change on the marketing communication process in the company, and used descriptive qualitative data analysis methods. The data was collected through interviews to several marketing staf.

Redo Marketing Indonesia's efforts to optimize Instagram have built a strong brand image and increased customers interaction.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong> <em>Brand Image, Canvassing, Marketing Communication.</em></p> Nurul Rizkia Ramadini, Arina Rubyasih, Stefani Made Ayu Artharini Koesanto Copyright (c) 2024 Medium https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://journal.uir.ac.id/index.php/Medium/article/view/16329 Sun, 30 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0700 Media Social Sebagai Alat Strategi Komunikasi Politik Untuk Mendapatkan Dukungan Massa: Studi Kasus Akun Tiwtter Anise Baswedan https://journal.uir.ac.id/index.php/Medium/article/view/15894 <p><em>The power of social media to influence society is based exclusively on its social aspect: this means the interaction and participation that can be achieved through campaigns.

The research used qualitative methods with in-depth interviews and observation instruments. The six informants consisted of women who often watch beauty content and are active in the TikTok application. Data analysis used Stuart Hall's reception analysis theory.

The focus of this research is the interpretation of the cover of the single 'Pelangi Cinta' by Diskoria with Afifah Yusuf, which seems controversial if interpreted simply. The results of this research show that a music cover, in fact, can represent the intention or message that the musician wants to convey. The cover of Diskoria's non-album single with Afifah Yusuf is successful in conveying a strong feminine message without discrediting women. This research method uses descriptive qualitative method and uses Roland Barthes' semiotic theory. The purpose of this research is to describe the relationship between signs and meanings of women's courage in expressing their sexuality through the visual design of the cover of Diskoria's non-album single with Afifah Yusuf.</p> <p><strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong><em>&nbsp;</em><em>Pelangi Cinta, Diskoria, Album Cover, Semiotic, Sensuality</em></p> Firli Daffa Satiya, Adhitya M Maheswara Copyright (c) 2024 Medium https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://journal.uir.ac.id/index.php/Medium/article/view/15271 Sun, 30 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0700
