The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results show that Social Media Marketing and Influencer Endorsement do not have a direct effect on consumer purchase decisions. However, Brand Awareness has a positive and significant impact on purchase decisions.
