Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of events as a digital content marketing strategy. Digital content marketing has two main indicators: valuable content and content sharing. Meanwhile, in the event business, it has indicators of cognitive, psychological experiences, leisure experiences, event satisfaction, and event quality. The method in this study is interviews and direct observation through an internship program at IFCA PT PFN. The results of this study show that the effectiveness of events in the form of training and workshops as a digital marketing strategy has a significant impact on the products owned by IFCA. The content marketing presented by IFCA currently through the IFCA website and social media presents informational content. However, this is still not optimal because the public awareness is still low due to the lack of human resources to manage digital marketing activities.

Key Words: Digital Marketing, Content Marketing, Event, Awareness
