Social media serves as one of the digital marketing channels to promote a brand or product through platforms such as Instagram, WhatsApp, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook. Papa Cookies Ponorogo utilizes social media, particularly Instagram and WhatsApp, as marketing tools to promote its products. Although the Instagram account does not upload content regularly every month, the business still records a significant number of purchases. The purpose of this study is to describe the utilization of Instagram and WhatsApp by Papa Cookies Ponorogo in digital marketing activities. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with primary and secondary data sources. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation involving three informants directly related to promotional activities.
