ABSTRACT
Tebing Gerinting Village, located in Indralaya Selatan District, Ogan Ilir Regency, is one of the largest kemplang (traditional grilled fish cracker) production centers in South Sumatra and has significant potential for developing local food-based industries. However, local artisans continue to face challenges related to product branding and the creation of social media content, which hinder the growth of their businesses. This community engagement program aimed to: (1) provide training and mentoring on product branding to help artisans develop recognizable brand identities; and (2) enhance their ability to utilize social media through consistent digital content creation to increase product awareness. The implementation methods included socialization, training, mentoring, and evaluation. The evaluation focused on three key aspects: branding through logo development, the use of Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook for business promotion, and the production of social media content. Each aspect was assessed using observation instruments and scoring rubrics. The results indicate that 100% of participating artisans successfully created logos as part of their branding strategy, 100% established business accounts on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook, and all participants produced content ready for upload on their social media platforms. These outcomes demonstrate significant improvements in branding capability and digital marketing readiness among the artisans.
