This transformation has also reshaped the landscape of marketing communication. Innovations in artificial intelligence (AI) play a critical role in facilitating marketing communication in the digital age, enabling companies to engage audiences in more personal and compelling ways. This study aims to explore the role of AI in enhancing the effectiveness of marketing communication compared to traditional methods. It employs a systematic literature review methodology guided by PRISMA protocols. The research focuses on analyzing academic literature and previous empirical studies on AI's role in content personalization, marketing efficiency, consumer behavior analysis, and its impact on customer engagement. The findings reveal that AI offers significant advantages over traditional methods, including improved content personalization, enhanced marketing efficiency, better consumer insights, increased customer engagement, and cost savings. However, challenges such as limited consumer understanding of AI and concerns over data privacy underscore the need for a more humanistic and transparent approach, emphasizing clear communication of AI's tangible benefits to consumers. Successful AI integration requires balancing human expertise with machine capabilities, aligning with broader business strategies, and addressing ethical considerations in its application.</em></p> Dinni Aulia Copyright (c) 2024 Dinni Aulia https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 8 2 1 16 10.51544/jlmk.v8i2.5120 Preservasi Digital Seloko Adat Jambi, Pantun Betawi dan Berkisah Budaya Batam https://e-journal.sari-mutiara.ac.id/index.php/JLMI/article/view/5398 <p><em>Maintaining sustainability and facilitating access through digital preservation is a crucial technique for safeguarding traditional cultural heritage amid globalization and advancements in information technology.

This research aims to explore the perception of Generation-Z towards the political amateur phenomenon that emerged in the Regional Head Election (Pilkada) of Bengkulu City 2024, focussing on one of the candidates for deputy mayor, Nuragiyanti Dewi Permatasari, M.Arch. Generation Z, which is now a potential group of voters, has different political views and values from the previous generation. Through a descriptive qualitative approach with the constructivism paradigm, this study uses an in-depth interview method to identify attitudes, judgements and reasons that underlie the perception of generation-Z towards Nuragiyanti Dewi Permatasari as a political amateur, as well as how the candidate's educational background and political experience affect the acceptance of the younger generation. Overall, despite the challenges related to the lack of political experience, the opportunity for Nuragiyanti to gain support from generation Z is very wide open if he is able to utilise technology, transparency, and active involvement with social and environmental issues. The use of social media by Nuragiyanti to convey its vision, mission, and campaign programs transparently and directly to young voters is considered crucial to build a positive image and show commitment to openness. The results of this study provide insight into how generation Z views new leader candidates in the political world and what are the factors that affect their decision to vote in the 2024 Regional Election.</em></p> Preiz Paskah Hutabarat Wahyu Widiastuti Sonde Martadireja Copyright (c) 2024 Preiz Paskah Hutabarat, Wahyu Widiastuti, Sonde Martadireja https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 8 2 47 56 10.51544/jlmk.v8i2.5481 Corporate Communications and Public Relations: Technological Transformation and Digitalization Towards Society 5.0 https://e-journal.sari-mutiara.ac.id/index.php/JLMI/article/view/5519 <p><em>The insurance sector is undergoing a substantial shift in the swiftly changing environment of society 4.0, entering society 5.0 marked by digitization, mobile technologies, and artificial intelligence (AI). The formerly deemed conservative sector increasingly embraces innovative technology to improve operational efficiency and transform consumer interaction. This paper examines the influence of mobile and AI technologies on corporate communication and public relations, explicitly analyzing their effects on the insurance industry via the perspective of technological determinism. The objective is to examine how new technologies transform consumer interactions, trust dynamics, and organizational tactics while addressing ethical issues such as AI transparency and data protection. This study, rooted in technological determinism, highlights technology's independent and socially influenced effects on organizational behaviors. It uses a qualitative approach, phenomenological method, and semi-structured interviews with industry experts to investigate lived experiences and insights. The findings indicate that mobile platforms improve consumer interaction through immediacy and accessibility, while AI enhances operations through predictive analytics and automation. Nonetheless, issues about diversity and ethical responsibility persist as significant concerns. The research suggests that mobile and AI technologies serve as transformational agents, necessitating enterprises to reconcile technical innovation with ethical accountability. By implementing inclusive, transparent, and proactive communication strategies, insurance businesses may use these technologies to cultivate trust, enhance stakeholder relationships, and adeptly negotiate the intricacies of Society 4.0. This study offers a framework for incorporating developing technology into corporate communication and public relations by social norms and expectations.</em></p> Natasha Constantin Raynaldi Nelwin Irwansyah Copyright (c) 2024 Natasha Constantin, Raynaldi Nelwin, Irwansyah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 8 2 57 74 10.51544/jlmk.v8i2.5519 Penggunaan dan Kepuasan terhadap Video Pendek melalui Media Sosial TikTok: Systematic Literature Review https://e-journal.sari-mutiara.ac.id/index.php/JLMI/article/view/5540 <p><em>In the ever-changing internet era, mobile media consumption has shifted significantly from text content to video content. Short video applications serve as a solution to fill fragmented free time, offering fast and easily accessible entertainment. These videos often have diverse content and can interact with each other across platforms, allowing users to engage more deeply and enjoy a more dynamic viewing experience. Since the advent of the Internet, uses and gratifications theory has also been applied to various types of digital platforms, for example, to help understand the role of E-WoM moderation and traditional media advertising in choosing fast food outlets. This study aims to analyze user motivations and satisfactions in using TikTok as a digital platform with uses and gratifications theory (UGT). This study uses the Systematic Literature Review method to obtain research data. The results of this study indicate that uses and gratifications theory (UGT) has a relationship with awareness and use of TikTok social media. There are several drives and motivations that each user has related to the use of TikTok social media, especially the FYP feature, namely entertainment, media for self-expression, escape from reality, and user loyalty to access certain content.</em></p> Almira Adani Rusman Nabila Adistri Irwansyah Copyright (c) 2024 Almira Adani Rusman, Nabila Adistri, Irwansyah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2024-12-21 2024-12-21 8 2 75 88 10.51544/jlmk.v8i2.5540 Komunikasi Partisipatif Relawan Pemadam Kebakaran dalam Menanggulangi Kebakaran di Kota Bengkulu https://e-journal.sari-mutiara.ac.id/index.php/JLMI/article/view/5546 <p><em>Fire is a disaster that often occurs in Indonesia, one of the areas that has a fairly high fire rate is Bengkulu City.

Utilizing a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews, it explores the motivations, experiences, and perceptions of active TikTok users, predominantly digital natives.

A survey was distributed to 1,109 respondents, with 109 participants) forming the core group for analysis. The research aims to assess snake owners’ knowledge about venomous snakes, handling snakebites, and myths surrounding these reptiles. Findings indicate that while the public generally fears snakes, many reptile enthusiasts in Indonesia keep snakes as pets for reasons such as hobby, conservation, and education. However, a significant gap in knowledge exists regarding the identification of venomous versus non-venomous snakes, with some respondents unable to distinguish between them accurately. Additionally, while most respondents recognized the importance of immobilization following a snake bite, some still believed in outdated and dangerous practices, such as suctioning or cutting the wound. The study also uncovered that while most participants view snakes as ordinary creatures, a small portion still holds superstitions, such as believing snakes are evil spirits. This perpetuates fear and misunderstanding of snakes. In conclusion, the research highlights the need for better education on snake identification, proper bite management, and debunking myths to improve the safety of snake keeping in Indonesia. Increased public awareness and accurate information can help mitigate the risks of keeping snakes as pets and foster a more informed and responsible approach to reptile care.</em></p> Fahira Salima Rayhani Herlina Agustin Gumgum Gumilar Copyright (c) 2024 Fahira Salima Rayhani, Herlina Agustin, Gumgum Gumilar https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2024-12-29 2024-12-29 8 2 117 128 10.51544/jlmk.v8i2.5602 Pemanfaatan Instagram Sebagai Media Promosi Make Up Artist Anabella https://e-journal.sari-mutiara.ac.id/index.php/JLMI/article/view/5607 <p>Pengguna internet media sosial semakin ramai digunakan oleh masyarakat dunia.
