PROPOSED INTEGRATED MARKETING COMMUNICATION
STRATEGY TO PROMOTE BRAND AWARENESS OF ONLINE
LEARNING PORTALS: STUDY OF MOJADIAPP.COM
ABSTRACT
Indonesia, as one of the largest countries in the world, with a projected population of 274 million
people in 2020, will enjoy a demographic dividend in 2030-2040. Amidst the Covid-19 Pandemic,
this opens new opportunities for those in the education sector to develop a feasible business in
online learning.
PT Mojadi Aplikasi Indonesia (MOJADIAPP.com) is a new player in the online learning industry
and faces a tough competition with over 200 existing local brands in the country. A strong brand
awareness is needed to be recognized and thus compete in the existing competition. An
appropriate marketing strategy needs to be formulated and implemented to help
MOJADIAPP.com raise awareness of its brand.
This Final Project aims to find suitable Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) strategies.
To propose suitable IMC strategies for MOJADIAPP.com, the author first analyzes the internal
environment (using current STPD analysis, current Services Marketing Mix, and Resource-Based
View with the VRIO framework) and external environment (using PESTEL, Porter’s Five Forces,
Competitor Analysis, and Customer Analysis). SWOT analysis is used to summarize the internal
and external analysis. Quantitative and qualitative research methodology is done using market
survey of 499 respondents to understand the preferred marketing strategy from a customer’s
point of view and interview with the MOJADIAPP.com senior management and co-founders to
understand the internal and external condition of the company.
iii
The formulated IMC strategy uses the Service Marketing Mix (7P’s) and the New Customer Path
(5A’s) touchpoints as the input, and applies Human Centric Marketing, Content Marketing, and
Engagement Marketing as a general strategy guide. The implementation of these strategies are
marketing initiatives that use the Promotion Elements which cover activities of Advertising, Sales
Promotion, Direct Marketing, Marketing Public Relations, Sponsorship, e-Communications, and
Relationship Marketing.
A key pre-requisite for the IMC strategy is for MOJADIAPP.com to develop a mobile app for its
portal and expand its online presence through more social media accounts, particularly those that
can reach the target market of MOJADIAPP.com, such as WhatsApp, Twitter, and TikTok,
followed by implementation of the marketing initiatives to boost their brand awareness.
The marketing initiatives can support the creation of a positive customer experience throughout
the customer path. Customers who have gone through this path with a positive experience can
then act as advocates to promote the MOJADIAP.com brand to new customers. This positive
experience can be achieved through application of IMC using human-centric marketing, content
marketing and engagement marketing. Human-centric marketing can be implemented through
the implementation of good customer service and various sales promotions. Content marketing
can be implemented through sponsorships and creation of appealing content for the marketing
tools. Engagement marketing can be implemented through the use of mobile apps and
gamification for promotions, and the use of existing user base for a more personalized approach.

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Indonesia, as one of the largest countries in the world, holds 4th place in 2020 with a
projected population of 274 million people, positioned only behind China, India, and the
United States. The massive population growth in the country happened in the past 50
years with an estimated 70 million people in 1950, almost quadrupling in size (291.4 %
increase) (Hadya Jayani, 2019).
Population
Millions
- 500 1,000 1,500 2,000
China 1,439
India 1,380
Indonesia 274
Pakistan 221
Brazil 213
Nigeria 206
Bangladesh 165
Russia 146
Mexico 129
Statistics Indonesia (BPS) 2020 Population Sensus, recorded that Indonesia’s population
increased by 32.56 million in the last decade with an average annual growth of 1.49%
during 2010-2020. It is estimated that the population growth would continue and increase
to 297 million in 2030-2040 (Ketenagakerjaan Dan Pendidikan, 2017).
During this period, Indonesia could enjoy what is called a “Demographic Dividend”,
defined by United Nations Population Fund (UNFP) as the economic growth potential
that can result from shifts in a population’s age structure, mainly when the share of the
working-age population (15 to 64) is larger than the non-working-age share of the
population (14 and younger, and 65 and older) (Demographic Dividend | UNFPA - United
Nations Population Fund, n.d.).

Amidst the Covid-19 Pandemic, the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture
(Kemendikbud) has gathered support from the private sector and encouraged the use of
2
technology to enable online learning during the physical distancing (Ali, 2020). Online
learning has been a long-term trend, was accelerated by the Covid-19 Pandemic, expected
to continue to be the future of learning (Doughty, 2021).
This opens opportunities for those in the education industry to develop a feasible
business in the online learning industry.
Online learning is not a new trend and actually started in the 1980’s with the use of
computer conferencing by the Western Behavioral Sciences Institute in 1982 to provide a
distance education program for business executives. This trend continued to rise as
technology evolved and peaked during 2020 due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, which forced
nearly all educational institutions were forced to switch to online class rather than hold
classes in person (Thompson, 2021). For this project, the terms “Online Learning” and
“Online Education” will be used interchangeably.
Online learning requires the use of internet, something we might take for granted
nowadays, but was considered a luxury by most people living in Indonesia According to
Statista, barely half the population in Indonesia had access to internet before 2016 (42.65%
by 2015). It was not until 2017 that more than 50% of the population could enjoy internet
service. Nowadays, almost everyone in Indonesia has access to internet which means that
online learning businesses has a huge potential market to penetrate.

1.9 Research Methodology
The research will use a combination of qualitative and quantitative methodology for the
analysis. Primary and secondary data are collected to support the analysis.
Sampling method will be used to measure and support the argument of this research,
which will be related to MOJADIAPP.com brand awareness, preferred marketing
channels as well as the use of MOJADIAPP.com services through multiple
questionnaires, open question, and Likert scale questionnaires.
Marketing strategy theories will be used to analyze the qualitative and quantitative data
such as PESTEL, Porter Five Forces, Customers Survey and Competitor for external
analysis. A use of STPD, Service Marketing Mix and Resource Based View will be used
for the internal analysis. The secondary data is collected from company internal data,
journals, articles, publication, media website industrial analysis, etc. to support the
analysis.
• For the author, it is expected to provide further knowledge about marketing strategy,
brand awareness in the sustainability of their business, and how they can also

1.11 Research Limitations
For this project, the author will use publicly available information as well as discussion/
interview results from parties in MOJADIAPP.com, internal company data of
MOJADIAPP.com, as well as survey subjects that fit into the segmentation of this project.
The survey subject will be focused on the students at high school to university and/ or
their parents that are the target market of MOJADIAPP.com, who are in Indonesia. The
strategy proposed will focus on using integrated marketing communication that aims to
raise brand awareness as MOJADIAPP.com. Further customer paths (Appeal, Ask, Act and
Advocate) will be explored under the assumption that MOJADIAPP.com has launched its
website completely. The result of strategy formulation is in the form of marketing
initiatives. These initiatives are not a business plan, so elements of cost are not
considered.
12
CHAPTER II BUSINESS ISSUE EXPLORATION
To gain complete understanding of the business, analysis will be done for the internal
and external factors that affect the company. Internal analysis will use STPD analysis,
Service Marketing Mix, and Resource Based View (using VRIO framework) to explore
the internal factors of MOJADIAPP.com. External analysis will use PESTEL, and as
mentioned in the previous chapter, this research will use interviews with
MOJADIAPP.com team and surveys, which will be used to support the analysis for
Porter’s 5 Forces Analysis, Customer Path Analysis, and Competitor Analysis.
After understanding the internal external factors, SWOT analysis will be used to
determine the strength and weakness of MOJADIAPP.com as well as opportunities and
threats that it faces.
The formulation of strategy based on the above analysis will be driven by the integrated
marketing communication strategy to optimize the delivery of marketing ideas to the
target consumers. This strategy is developed to support MOJADIAPP.com in developing
awareness toward its brand. Figure 2.1 shows the Research Design and Methodology for
this project to guide this research.
2.1.1 Interviews
Interviews with MOJADIAPP.com team is conducted to gain understanding
MOJADIAPP.com’ current internal and external situation as well as future goals for the
company. The information obtained is used to support the internal and external analysis
in this chapter.

at a lower level than vocational school or high school. It is assumed that such
students usually have parents or guardians to make the decisions for them.
• Public. Adults who are not in either one of the categories above.
14
The sample size used in this research is 499 respondents, which is a number that follows
the rule of thumb of sample size greater than 30 and less than 500 to be appropriate for
most sample studies (Sekaran & Bougie, 2016).
The survey questions use a combination of multiple choice as well as Likert Scale with
the scale of 1 to 7. Likert scale is applied as one of the most fundamental and frequently
used psychometric tools in educational and social sciences research (Joshi et al., 2015).
The purpose of using 1 to 7 Liker Scale as opposed to a 1 to 5 Likert Scale for this survey
is so that the survey result has a wider range of responses which can more accurately
gauge the level of importance of the item in question, using the three-box method.
The three-box method is used to interpret the Likert scale result (Ferdinand, 2006) by
dividing the increment between the highest scale of 7 and the lowest scale of 1, which is
an increment of 6. The increment is then divided into three, which will result in the
smaller increment of 2. The result of this will be three categories for the Likert scale result
which are:
The three-box method will be used to interpret the importance of a Likert scale result to
the development of marketing strategy for MOJADIAPP.com.
15
2.2.1.1 Segmenting
The segmenting step covers the identification of specific consumers that are most likely
to purchase the brand, based on their needs, attitudes and interest. The most common
segmenting approaches are by demographics, psychographics, generations, geographic,
geodemographics, benefits, and usage (Clow & Baack, 2017).
Demographic
Clow & Baack identify that segmentation by demographic is clustering the customer by
the gender, age, education, income, social classes, occupation, and ethnicity. Based on
discussion with MOJADIAPP.com Creative Lead and Co-Founder, Widi Baskoro, the
demographic segmentation of MOJADIAPP.com customers are as follows:
• Age
o 15 – 25 years old
The age is divided in such way because MOJADIAPP.com considers these age ranges
are related to the stages of maturity in terms of how they think about their future.
• Gender
• Education
o Primary school
o Middle school
o Vocational school
o High school
o University
o Higher education
Education level is important as it relates to the learning materials and products that
Lower, Lower-Middle, Middle, Upper-Middle, Upper. The social class can determine
whether they would need alternative education such as online learning to support
Geographic location, although less relevant in the provision of online learning services,
can be related to the needs of online services. For example, those who are in the rural or
underdeveloped areas of Indonesia, can gain more benefit from online learning due to
the lack of quality educational facilities in their area (Hussain et al., 2013).
2.2.1.2 Targeting
The main target of MOJADIAPP.com is lower to middle class students at middle school
to university, including vocational school living in Indonesia and have access to internet,
who are concerned about their future and need support to achieve a bright future through
alternative education services.
A discussion with Widi emphasized the importance of the students who are concerned
with their future as it determines the products that MOJADIAPP.com offers. Damy
added that “Most of online education platform focus on exam preparation but they forgot about
the essence of education and most of them are too expensive”.
Based on the segmenting and targeting steps of MOJADIAPP.COM, Damy explained that
MOJADIAPP.com aims to provide an innovative and affordable, high quality standard
education platform that can cater to the needs of students to improve their future. As can
be seen in figure 2.2 below, one of the key methods MOJADIAPP.com differentiates its
brand from the competitors by providing continuous learning to prepare their students
for the job market.
For students at middle school, vocational school, high school, and university who are concerned
about their future or are preparing for their future, MOJADIAPP.com is an online learning
platform that is innovative, affordable, and has a high quality.
17

(Source: MOJADIAPP.com at a Glance)
Apart from that, MOJADIAPP.com also provides 6 Step continuous learning which
include:
• Q&A in expert sharing sessions (as opposed to only using video sharing or one
way communication)
• Well-rounded service offerings that can not only support school and/or university
academic materials, but also support the development of skills and competence
services such as resume builder and business English, all under one platform
To summarize based on the information above, the differentiation of MOJADIAP is as
follows:
Unlike most online learning platforms, MOJADIAPP.com provides 6 steps of continuous learning
that will help students prepare not just for exams, but also for their future career development in
the job market.

2.2.2 Service Marketing Mix
Expanding from the original 4P’s (Product, Price, Promotion, Placement) Marketing Mix
expressed by E. J. McCarthy in his book “Basic Marketing – A Managerial Approach”, in
1981, Bernard H. Booms and Mary J. Bitner further developed the concept from four to
seven elements so that the framework could also be applied to the service industry, by
adding 3 more P’s that are People, Process and Physical Evidence (What Is the Service
Marketing Mix (7P’s) by Booms and Bitner | Toolshero, n.d.).
The original 4P’s concept could not be directly transferred to service company where
there is no physical transfer of ownership of a product from a business to a customer.
There are four characteristics of services that are that differ from products, which are
intangibility, heterogeneity, inseparability of production and consumption, and
perishability of output. Hence, the nature of services poses distinct marketing challenges
for service companies (Wirtz & Lovelock, n.d.).
2.2.2.1 Product
The first step of the marketing mix starts with developing a service product that offers
value to target customers an satisfy their needs better in comparison to available
competing alternatives (Wirtz & Lovelock, n.d.).
19
MOJADIAPP.com offers a range of products and services that focus on online education
under one platform. The currently available services are:
2.2.2.2 Price
Price is a key factor for a customer in deciding whether to purchase a product. The value
they get from the product must be equal or more than the price that they are paying
(Wirtz & Lovelock, n.d.).
Although the product is not yet launched, MOJADIAPP.com has taken the pricing
strategy of giving free-mium services for their customers with a pre-requisite to register
an account in their website.
Video sharing and Webinars are provided for free so that customers can try out their
platform, while other services are charged at a relatively lower price compared to their
competitors. For example, they offer the bundling package which is sold as an annual
subscription at IDR 400,000/ year which offers the complete experience for a customer.
In the case of online learning service, all services are delivered electronically either
through a website, a computer application, or mobile application. This means that anyone
can access the service almost instantaneously from any location in the world that has
internet access.
Now, MOJADIAPP.com only provides their services through their web-based platform
at www.mojadiapp.com. Based on discussion with Widi, at the time being, there is no
plan to expand the availability of their platform to mobile apps or desktop clients as they
consider that most students would be on either a laptop or a desktop when they engage
in online learning. However, Widi emphasized that their website is mobile phone
friendly, meaning the interface can still be accessed through mobile devices quite well.
21

2.2.2.4 Promotion
Promotion is the way a company tells the customers about their services, so it plays a
vital role in providing the needed information about their services, persuading customers
to buy, and encouraging these customers to act at specific times (Wirtz & Lovelock, n.d.).
YouTube
On FaceBook, MOJADIAPP.com feed is less active, the posts are mostly the same videos
they have on their YouTube Channel. The campaign on internship and Tokyo Olympics
can also be found in their FaceBook feed.
24
Figure 2.11 MOJADIAPP.com FaceBook Page
(Source: MOJADIAPP.com FaceBook)
In their business model, MOJADIAPP.com relies heavily on the skills of the experts they
hire to deliver the materials to students. To ensure that these experts have the necessary
qualifications and the appropriate attitude in delivering the service, MOJADIAPP.com
carefully handpicks these experts. As mentioned by Heru Zen, Co-Founder and
Commissioner of MOJADIAPP.com, experts are handpicked from the pool of
professional experts that the founders of the company personally know. This ensures that
these experts have the appropriate competency for their subject and have the same vision
as MOJADIAPP.com founders.
Customer service that handles customer inquiries, as well as complaints also plays an
important role in the service industry. Customers need to have access to an available
person that can answer any of their questions about the product or services. As confirmed
by Widi, at the moment, they do not have systemized customer service and are only
reachable via email or direct messages on each of their online accounts. However, they
plan to implement this customer service as the platform goes live.
For MOJADIAPP.com, which offers a full online service, their physical evidence is their
online presence, including their name and logo. The name, logo, user interface of their
website, their online accounts as well as their online media campaign acts as the physical
form that a customer or potential customers can see.
Damy also added that although they plan to cater to professional customers in the future,
they do not plan on providing any offline services. All trainings will be online. This re-
26
emphasizes the importance of MOJADIAPP.com’s user interface on all their online

Based on discussion with Krishna, Co-Founder and COO of MOJADIAPP.com, the origin
of the name MOJADIAPP comes from the Indonesian culture of asking young children:
“Mau jadi apa?”, which roughly translates to “What do you want to be?”. Although this
saying is usually asked as a friendly gesture from an adult to a child, Krishna believes
that the question is still relevant as the child grows as they are trying to find the answer
to that question, such as when deciding where to continue their study or even what
profession they would like to pursue for their future.
However, contrary to their brand name, MOJADIAPP.com does not currently have nor
plan to develop a mobile app soon. This may cause some dissonance between the brand
“MOJADIAPP” and the fact that there is no app for it.
To mitigate this, MOJADIAPP.com needs to consider developing an app for their portal.
MOJADIAPP.com Logo
MOJADIAPP.com logo shows two links chained together with the meaning as follows:
• The bigger link with a darker color resembles experts with experience
• The two links chained together resembles hand-in-hand knowledge sharing &
• The shape of triangle links was chosen so that the combination of the two chains

2.2.2.7 Process
Service companies would want to create a smooth, efficient, and customer-friendly
journey, which can only be achieved with the right process behind the scenes. The process
needs to be aimed toward providing a positive experience for the customers (The 7Ps of
The Marketing Mix | Oxford College Of Marketing, n.d.).
MOJADIAPP.com needs to develop such processes once their products go live. Currently
what they have available are only the registration process, where a new customer can
register and modify their profile from their dashboard.
The customer experience needs to be developed from the initial registration, up to the
point they experience the MOJADIAPP.com services and along in the journey, a positive
experience with customer service which encourages them to repeat the purchase.

Damy and Heru pointed out several resources that they consider key in shaping the
competitive advantage of MOJADIAPP.com. These resources are analyzed using the
VRIO Framework in table 2.1.

The goal of this partnership is for both parties to provide employment experience for the
students and to complement the students’ diploma/ certificate once they complete their
study.
Since Kampus Merdeka is endorsed by the government, engaging and co-branding with
Kampus Merdeka can help increase brand awareness and promote the brand penetration
to its target market through the word of mouth that's generated by the students, on top
of the main benefits of obtaining support for program development funds as well as
getting a number of students who can be utilized for the purposes of a growth company.
30
However, MOJADIAPP.com needs to keep in mind that the internship program by
Kampus Merdeka is open to all parties that wish to participate, including the competitors
of MOJADIAPP.com, meaning that this partnership is only a temporary competitive
advantage.

2.3.1.1 Political
The political landscape had always been a key driver in determining the playing field for
most businesses in Indonesia. A whole industry in Indonesia can either be encouraged or
hindered, depending on the priority of the leaders at that time (Yamin, 2018).
Fortunately for the education industry, the newly appointed Minister of Education and
Culture, Nadiem Anwar Makarim, had been mandated to provide full support by
President Joko Widodo to promote and improve the quality of human resources of the
31
country, through improving the country’s education system (Mendikbud Tetapkan Empat
Pokok Kebijakan Pendidikan “Merdeka Belajar,” 2019). Nadiem had elaborated seven priority
programs that he plans to enroll during his term that can well support the education
system in Indonesia (Kasih, 2020). These programs are:
• Education Financing
• School Digitization
MOJADIAPP.com has also contributed directly to improve the Cultural and Language
Advancement as they promote national songs in their YouTube channel and provide
services to improve business English for their students. Politically, the external
environment is very supportive of MOJADIAPP.com business, and they can continue to
capitalize on it to accelerate their business growth.
2.3.1.2 Economic
Since the Covid-19 pandemic, Indonesia’s economic performance have been
continuously decreasing. World Bank has demoted Indonesia’s status from a country
with an average “middle-upper” income to “middle-lower” following the decline of
Indonesia’s Gross National Income per capita to US$ 3,870 in 2020 (Annur, 2021).
Institute for Development of Economics and Finance (INDEF) predicts that this trend will
continue for a longer period and that it would be difficult for Indonesia to recover from
due to the inconsistency in the economic structure (Said, 2021).
During economic difficulties, households have the tendency to focus on expenditure for
the very basic needs - food, shelter, and clothing. This lessens the opportunity for
businesses in other sectors to increase their market, including education industry.
MOJADIAPP.com has attempted to offset this threat by offering affordable pricing for
their services and reiterate the importance of education in improving the economic
condition both for the student’s family, as well as for the country.
32
2.3.1.3 Social
The Covid-19 pandemic has caused a significant shift of the social environment
worldwide. The enforcement of physical distancing impacted almost all existing
industries. Businesses must limit their operations, employees must work from home,
schools must close, and students must study at home. This trend has continued from the
second quarter of 2020 throughout 2021.
For the conventional education industry, this situation is a major challenge to overcome.
A lot of changes are required for the learning system to accommodate effective learning
without having the “luxury” being face-to-face. Major changes need to be made to the
curriculum, the materials as well as the method of delivery (Hendayana, 2020).
33
However, for companies that operate in the online learning industry, this is a big
opportunity as the services they offer, rely on customers preferring online learning
sessions over learning in person. MOJADIAPP.com can capitalize on this situation and
even promote online learning to continue even after the social distancing period has
ended in Indonesia.
2.3.1.4 Technological
Although Indonesia is far from being the most technologically advanced country,
Indonesia has a significant portion of its population possessing smart phones. A survey
done by Pew Research Center with more than 30,000 respondents from 27 countries, has
put Indonesia at the 24th (Alfarizi, 2019). However, being third from last, does not mean
Indonesia has a low number of smartphone owners. According to Ministry of
Communication and Information, 89% of Indonesian population (approximately 167
million people) already use smartphones (Hanum, 2021). This is a huge opportunity for
the online education industry as smartphones are the bare minimum requirement, apart
from internet connection, for people to enjoy online learning products.
MOJADIAPP.com has ensured that their platform is smartphone friendly but has
additional opportunity to tap into through mobile app development for their platform.
2.3.1.5 Environmental
The environmental factor of Indonesia lies with its geographical landscape and culture.
Extending more than 5,000 KM from east to west, Indonesia has more than 13,000 islands
across the whole archipelago. Within the country, there are around 260million people
with thousands of dialects, put together only by the national language, Bahasa Indonesia.
The environmental factor is not a major obstacle for MOJADIAPP.com, however similar
business models also have this benefit compared to offline and/ or global companies.
34
2.3.1.6 Legal
Online learning is not a new thing in Indonesia. In 2012, the Ministry of Education and
Culture issued Ministry of Education and Culture Regulation Number 24/2012 with
regards to Remote Education. As defined by Ministry of Education and Culture
Regulation Number 109/2013, remote education is the process of teaching and learning
conducted remotely using various communicative media. Ministry of Education and
Culture Regulation Number 119/2014 also defines this for the elementary and middle
school level (Pendidikan Jarak Jauh (PJJ) Di Masa Pandemi Covid 19 Halaman All -
Kompasiana.Com, 2021).
Online learning has been supported by the government, especially since the Covid-19
pandemic to enable the continuation of learning activities during the enforcement of
physical distancing. The legal environment is accommodative towards businesses that
can support online learning activities.
The summary of PESTEL analysis for MOJADIAPP.com can be seen in table 2.2 below.

Figure 2.18 The Original Porter’s 5 Forces Published in Harvard Business Review
(Source: Harvard Business Review, 1979)
Porter’s 5 forces can be used to analyze the external environment of a company so that it
can formulate strategies that can capitalize on the opportunities and/ or mitigate the
threats it faces in this environment. Based on discussion with Damy, Widi and Heru,
below are the five competitive forces in MOJADIAPP.com’s competition landscape.
For individuals, the barrier to enter this industry is low. Cost wise, there is little to no
financial investment to start given the availability of multiple free online platforms you
can deliver your service through, if you have the necessary materials to deliver (Tips
Memulai Bisnis E-Learning - Entrepreneur Bisnis.Com, n.d.). An example of a successful
online learning that started without proper financial investment is the Khan Academy
founded by Salman Khan that started in Yahoo Doodle and gained a massive following
in YouTube (What Is the History of Khan Academy? – Khan Academy Help Center, n.d.).
For business organizations on the other hand, the barrier to enter is relatively steeper as
it would require some investment, a team of professionals, as well as good quality
contents to bring in new customers or attract customers from existing competition. An
article on RacoonGang.com shows that a typical online learning company requires an
investment of up to US$ 36,000 just to start and create 1 hour of e-Learning ready content
(Movchan, 2020). More investment would have to be made to compete with existing
content from existing competitors.
36
To add to the inherent barrier of cost for new entrants, MOJADIAPP.com plans to create
additional barrier through the number of available high-quality contents from more than
500 experts in Indonesia. Although the barrier is quite low for new individual entrants,
they are not necessarily a threat to the online learning companies as these companies
differentiate by providing multi-service under one platform.
MOJADIAPP.com offers one of the cheapest alternatives for the complete online learning
service. Below is a summary of the annual subscription cost of full online learning service
offered by five of the biggest players in the industry, all in IDR.
MOJADIAPP.com offers IDR 400,000 for annual subscription fee which gives the full
experience of the services, just below the cheapest package offered by Zenius. Although
Rumah Belajar, offers a free service, it only offers the basic curriculum by the government,
while MOJADIAPP.com offers more content outside the basic curriculum. This puts
MOJADIAPP.com in a good position in terms of value and pricing.
Guest experts are those who provide services on a pro-bono basis, and do not have a
contractual commitment to MOJADIAPP.com. On one hand, this means that
MOJADIAPP.com can get a free service from them, but on the other hand,
MOJADIAPP.com does not have the legal right to drive the quality of the content that
38
these experts deliver. Committed experts are those who provide services on a contractual
basis, although now these types of experts are not yet present. These experts work based
on a contract, so MOJADIAPP.com has the legal right to drive the quality of the contents.
Although these experts have the option to create their own online learning portal as
individuals or join a competitor, Damy mentions that since they know these experts
personally, MOJADIAPP.com maintains a good and trusting relationship with these
experts.
Based on discussion with the MOJADIAPP.com team, the substitute products that they
see are offline learning, which can be seen as a backwards evolution in the education
industry. Considering the current circumstances with the Covid-19 pandemic, it is highly
unlikely that offline learning will be fully operational soon and disrupt the online
learning industry.
According to Damy, even if online learning is back in full operations, online learning will
still have a market as part of the digitization and more people will already be accustomed
with it.

• Services Offered. Most online learning platforms provide specific services only,
• Pricing. Most online learning platforms offer premium membership only, while
Based on the information above, the rivalry among existing players is high.

customers. The detailed survey result can be seen in figure 2.4 below.

MOJADIAPP.com currently only provides their service through their website. Although,
Widi explained that their website interface is already mobile friendly, MOJADIAPP.com
should really consider building a mobile app as based on the survey, it is still much
preferred than using a web-based platform. In addition, mobile apps deliver a different
experience for users in terms of communication. Desktop client, although should be
considered, will be a bit more challenging to implement. A more detailed plan and
further action on the above will be explored further in The next chapter The detailed

in the future once MOJADIAPP.com has already gained the desired level of brand
awareness to either further improve it or maintain the level.

CHAPTER III BUSINESS SOLUTION
The input for the strategy formulation is the internal and external analysis in Chapter II,
further exploration of The Services Marketing Mix (7P’s) framework after survey, and the
New Customer Path (5A’s) framework.
Since it was popularized, IMC has gone through some evolution, following the evolution of
technology in general. The American Marketing Association defines IMC as “a planning process
designed to assure that all brand contacts received by a customer or prospect for a product, service,
or organization are relevant to that person and consistent over time.” (Davenport, n.d.).
3.3.1 Product
MOJADIAPP.com offers variety of products as explored in Chapter II. In this chapter,
additions as well as improvements to what MOJADIAPP.com currently has is analyzed
based on the survey result.
Respondents were asked what their main reason to use an online learning portal is. Based
on the survey, 49% of the respondents answered that they would like to gain knowledge
and skills outside formal education, followed by 32% answering that they want intensive
study to support their performance in formal education. This confirms that what
MOJADIAPP.com currently offers has value to the market.

56
Based on the survey, both academic and non-academic services provide value to the
market. However, as explored in the previous chapter, online learning portals with the
same target market as MOJADIAPP.com, offers mostly academic services for the
students. To confirm whether non-academic services are as important, respondents were
asked to answer a Likert scale question. Using the three-box method, the importance has a
level of 5.94, which is high.

the most chosen answer with 363 answers, followed by hard skill development with 243
answers. Information on higher education as well as job market also gained quite a lot of
interest with 111 and 103 answers, respectively.

Based on the information above, MOJADIAPP.com can continue offering their core
products, while considering providing additional services through information on higher

Respondents were asked about the main factors that they consider when choosing an
online learning portal. Based on 909 answers from 499 respondents, relevant study
materials were the most chosen answer with 338 answers, followed by reputable
lecturers/ presenters with 180 answers. Price being the third most chosen answer with
137, shows that customers would not mind the price as much if the quality that they
expect is met.

3.3.1.3 Features
Apart from core products and their quality, features of a service can also help
differentiate, even give brands an edge over its competitors. To find the most liked
feature of an online learning portal, respondents were asked about the main features that
they look for in an online learning portal. Based on 890 answers from 499 respondents,
1on1 sessions with experts was the most chosen answer with 337 answers, followed by
built-in forum for students with 174 answers. Student answer comparison and generic
chat bot also gained some interest with 155 and 136 answers, respectively.
MOJADIAPP.com has only offered video sharing from experts and could consider
developing 1on1 sessions with the experts to fulfil such interest.
Some online services such as online gaming companies, have built-in community forums
in their website where the users can share experience or help each other answer some
basic questions. MOJADIAPP.com can consider implementing this in their website to
accommodate similar communication between students while building loyalty through
the community.
Chat bots are already a common feature in web-based services as it helps customers
understand the products/ services while being low cost compared to having a customer
service team to answer generic questions.

one of the most popular methods of payment. Setting up virtual accounts can also be
considered as apart from being quite popular, it can also help simplify MOJADIAPP.com
operation by reconciling incoming payment with the user account.
Based on 889 answers from 499 respondents, mobile was the most chosen answer with
376 answers, followed web-based platforms with 174 answers and desktop client with

interaction as well as the content itself need to be considered carefully.

YouTube and LinkedIn. Based on 896 answers from 499 respondents, Instagram was the
most chosen answer with 389 answers, followed YouTube with 159 answers. The

Respondents were asked on what their sources of reference are when deciding to

respondents, customer review/ feedback was the most chosen answer with 317 answers,
followed information from brand with 151 answers. Reference from friends/family and
teachers/lecturers also have quite a lot of answers, followed by community/forum.
Customer review/ feedback plays a significant role because new customers can refer to
the experience of existing customers and understand what they expect to experience
based on those reviews/ feedback. Direct review seems to be the most reliable source of
reference, but indirect review such as reference from close people and communities can
also influence a purchasing decision.
MOJADIAPP.com can utilize these tools by ensuring existing customers have the best
experience they can get so they can leave positive feedback.

Traditionally, customer service is done by actual persons, but with the development of
technology, tech-assisted customer services are now available. Respondents were asked
to choose their preferred form of customer service.
70
Based on 930 answers from 499 respondents, call center was the most chosen answer with
25 answers, followed by support live chat with 237 answers. Self-service and e-mail
support also gained some interest, each with 138 answers.
Call center and live chat provides the most personal experience as users know that they
are communicating with another person, and that they can communicate easier.
Although e-mail can give a somewhat similar experience, the delayed response or the
now popular automated email reply can diminish the experience.
Self-service such as FAQ, tutorial videos and user guide can be implemented but will
require customer education to familiarize the customers with such self-help service.
However, in the long run, it could potentially cost less as it does not require any form of
continuous personnel interaction.
Self-Service 138
Walk-In Service 60
MOJADIAPP.com can start implementing these popular choices, but considering the
current size of the organization, support live chat might be the most feasible option as
one personnel can handle multiple chats simultaneously. The next step would be to set
up self-service and e-mail support. Call center could be set up once MOJADIAPP.com
organization grows.

3.3.8 Summary of Service Marketing Mix Based on Survey Result
Below is the summary of service marketing mix comparison between the existing
condition and the proposed condition.
72
Registration Simple Maintain and add social login
3.4.1 Aware
At this stage, the goal of communication is to gain or increase awareness from the
audience. This stage is where most marketing activities is performed to get a massive
exposure toward the target audience, both traditional and digital, to build brand
awareness.
73
Digital awareness can be raised through collaboration with an iconic figure such as brand
ambassadors or Key Opinion Leaders (KOL) to reach and communicate with the target
audience. MOJADIAPP.com can engage with their existing network of experts or with
more well-known experts for this purpose. This initiative can be deployed in
combination with other marketing campaigns through optimization of
MOJADIAPP.com’s existing social media accounts. MOJADIAPP.com should also
consider using other social media accounts to amplify the effect of their marketing
campaigns such as TikTok and Twitter.
Traditional awareness can be raised through mass media promotion such as advertising
via radio stations, newspaper and flyers distributed to educational entities such as
schools and campuses.
Once the service launches, MOJADIAPP.com will have additional tools to raise
awareness by utilizing positive customer reviews and community insights via various
relevant forums.
3.4.2 Appeal
In this stage, the goal of marketing communication is for the brand to be appealing to the
audience, meaning that the audience feels connected with the brand. There are various
advertising appeals that can be used at this stage. According to Clow and Baack in
”Integrated Advertising, Promotion, and Marketing Communications”, advertising can appeal
by using messages oriented toward fear, sex, scarcity, music, humor, emotion and
rationality (Clow & Baack, 2017).
The most applicable approach for MOJADIAPP.com is the usage of emotion, humor, fear,
and rationality. MOJADIAPP.com can build campaigns that build around the scarcity of
affordable high-quality education, humorous and witty messages, emotional campaigns
toward nationality, as well as rationality toward being educated to be successful.
3.4.3 Ask
At this stage, customers have already built curiosity and start to ask for more information
about the brand. The information sought about the product usually revolves around how
to purchase, how it compares to other brands, reviews, or product specifications.
To optimize this stage of customer path, MOJADIAPP.com needs to ensure that they can
provide all the answers in a timely manner. For digital marketing, this can be achieved
by preparing appropriate platforms such as forums, social media Q&A, community
clubs, as well as other supporting informative tools in MOJADIAPP.com website. For
traditional marketing, call centers can be set up to accommodate questions from phones.
74
3.4.4 Act
At this stage, customers will have been reinforced by a lot of information, and is making
the decision whether to purchase, for new customers, or repurchase, for existing
customers. To ensure that the customer acts toward purchasing, the experience of making
a purchase should be made as convenient as possible. An act of a customer at this stage
could also be additional queries or complaints about the product or services.
3.4.5 Advocate
At this last stage, the customer has built trust toward the brand, and would do the extra
mile of recommending the product or services to others through good feedback or review.
This stage can reinforce the aware stage for new customers.
In this category, customers ask about the brands and will only act if they like what they
hear. They will only advocate if they have experienced the services/products themselves.
Overall customer experience really maters because customers may choose not to continue
with the brand at any point in the path. Hence, it is important for MOJADIAPP.com to
manage multiple touchpoints advertising (aware and appeal), website and call center (ask),
sales channel (act), as well as post-purchase services (advocate).
75
Figure 3.18 Industry Archetypes of the Customer Path
(Source: Kotler et al., 2017)
MOJADIAPP.com should utilize human centric marketing to get customers to the aware
stage and move them to appeal stage. One of the ways to do this is by collaborating with
Key Opinion Leaders or engagement with a brand ambassador to reach out to
communities.
MOJADIAPP.com should utilize content marketing to get customers to boost the appeal
stage and move the customers into ask. For an online and offline business, usually the
next step to move a customer from ask to act, requires. The Omnichannel Marketing.
However, since MOJADIAPP.com is a fully online business, they can use content
marketing to do so.
MOJADIAPP.com can utilize this strategy to move the customers from act to advocate and
create loyal advocates that can help promote awareness and boost exposure to new
customers.

3.6 The Marketing Program
According to Kitchen and De Pelsmacker in “Integrated Marketing Communications: A
Primer”, the modern integrated marketing communication elements consist of
Advertising, Sales Promotion, Direct Marketing, Marketing Public Relations, Sponsorship, e-
Communications, and Relationship Marketing (Kitchen & de Pelsmacker, 2004).
The Marketing Program is broken down into activities using these IMC elements while
keeping in mind the marketing strategies mentioned in the previous section. These
activities will then be mapped into a matrix to identify which points in the 7P’s and 5A’s
are addressed in these activities. To identify which marketing strategy is applied, color
coding will be applied to the matrix.
3.6.1 Advertising
Effective advertising campaigns can raise brand awareness, provide information to
customers, generate persuasion, encourage action, as well as support other marketing
efforts (Clow & Baack, 2017). Human centric marketing can be applied to advertising to
raise awareness, brand appeal, even raise curiosity of the brand and get customers to start
asking further. Content marketing strategy can also be applied in advertising to amplify
the impact. To be noticeable, characteristics of advertisement needs to be repetitive,
dramatical and personalized (Kotler & Keller, 2006).
Based on the survey, the preferred digital channels for advertising are Instagram and
YouTube, there are other online social media accounts such as TikTok and Twitter that
have a massive following of the target market of MOJADIAPP.com. Traditional
advertising channels such as radio and television, although less popular, can still be
considered as there is still a massive following.

3.6.2 Sales Promotion
Sales promotion consists of all the incentives that are offered to customers to encourage
purchases and are usually aimed toward people who use the products (Clow & Baack,
2017). The main goal of sales promotion is to encourage existing customers to act on a
purchase but can also be used to attract new customers by offering appealing special prices
for first time users. Content marketing can be applied in sales promotion by sending a
message that creates urgency for customers to act as soon as possible.
Although based on the survey result, most customers love seasonal promos program,
MOJADIAPP.com should still consider referral promos to support the growth of their
customer base, considering one of the preferred references before purchase is the
recommendation and customer feedback.
Based on this, some of the sales promotion activities that can be deployed are:

3.6.4 Marketing Public Relation

which involves identifying and external stakeholders, assessment of the corporate
reputation, corporate social responsibility as well as control of image damage (Clow &
Baack, 2017).

appropriately, and professionals are interested to join as experts. (A5, C4)
2. Issue press releases as marketing tools for media and bloggers so they are up to
date on the latest development of MOJADIAPP.com. Press releases should cover
important announcements such as new collaborations with Ministry of Education
and Culture, as well as other prominent individuals hired as experts. (C4)
3. Create CSR programs related with education such as free classes for under-
privileged children. (A4, E4)
3.6.5 Sponsorship
Sponsorships are used by many marketers to build brand loyalty and positive feelings
toward a brand. Sponsorship programs can create situations where many stakeholders
of the company gather in one place and when optimized, can bring positive attitudes
toward the company effectively (Clow & Baack, 2017).
Based on this, some of the sponsorship activities that can be deployed are:
1. Sponsoring major national sports events to raise awareness from target market
which is a relatively young audience. (A4, E4)
2. Collaboration with campus and schools to hold a business case competition and
provide scholarship as the prize. (B4)
3. Holding a musical concert with talented amateur performers to launch them into
the public. (B4)
3.5.6 e-Communications

components of e-commerce, internet marketing, and mobile marketing (Clow & Baack,
2017). E-communications has the most application for marketing as it covers virtually
endless possibilities for a marketer to deploy marketing strategies.
