Marketing activities that occur on the brand's social media sites are also the main reason for generating brand equity and influencing customer response. The followers that are included on the social media sites of the brand are the customers that follow the latest information about the brand’s product, price, and promotion. Consumers look for information about specific brands on these social media sites, especially Indonesian local brands. Furthermore, these websites have a great influence on consumers' purchasing intentions.

The study also showed that value proposition branding on a social media advertisement properly could improve the consumer response.
