This study aims to evaluate the impact of digital marketing on brand awareness and sales, specifically focusing on the effectiveness of social media platforms (Instagram and Facebook), marketplaces (Shopee and Tokopedia), and search engine optimization (SEO). The research uses a qualitative case study approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews with the business owner, analysis of sales data, and monitoring of digital marketing activities.
