The research adopts a quantitative approach using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), with data analysis performed through SmartPLS and SPSS. The respondents in this study consist of consumers residing in Kabupaten Pandeglang. The findings reveal that Brand Ambassador has a negative but insignificant effect on Purchase Decision. However, Brand Ambassador significantly and positively affects both Brand Trust and Brand Image. Furthermore, Brand Image has a positive and significant influence on Purchase Decision, while Brand Trust does not show a significant effect. Mediation analysis indicates that Brand Image fully mediates the relationship between Brand Ambassador and Purchase Decision, whereas Brand Trust does not act as a mediator in this study. These results suggest that companies should optimize the role of Brand Ambassadors in their marketing strategies by focusing on enhancing Brand Image to drive Purchase Decisions. Additionally, marketing and distribution strategies should emphasize product innovation, strong promotional campaigns, and the optimization of sales channels to maintain competitiveness in the instant noodle market. date: 2025 type: Thesis type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/50800/8/RIZQI%20HAMDANI_5551210055_Fulltext.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/50800/3/RIZQI%20HAMDANI_5551210055_01.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/50800/4/RIZQI%20HAMDANI_5551210055_02.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/50800/5/RIZQI%20HAMDANI_5551210055_03.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/50800/6/RIZQI%20HAMDANI_5551210055_04.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/50800/7/RIZQI%20HAMDANI_5551210055_05.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/50800/2/RIZQI%20HAMDANI_5551210055_Ref.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/50800/1/Rizqi%20Hamdani_5551210055_Lampiran.pdf identifier: Hamdani, Rizqi (2025) PENGARUH BRAND AMBASSADOR TERHADAP PURCHASE DECISION DENGAN BRAND TRUST DAN BRAND IMAGE SEBAGAI VARIABEL INTERVENING (Studi pada Konsumen Mie Sedaap di Kabupaten Pandeglang).
