TY - THES N1 - Anan Izzul Khoiry, NIM: 6662190179. ?Gen Z?s Space as Positioning in a Café Marketing Communication Strategy (A Case Study of Empat Coffee and Space in Cilegon).? Advisor: Dr. Husnan Nurjuman, M.Si. The development of coffee shops among Generation Z reflects a shift in café functions from merely consumption spaces to social and productive spaces. In this context, Empat Coffee and Space in Cilegon adopts a spatial concept aimed at Generation Z and establishes its positioning as ?Gen Z?s Space.? This study analyzes the implementation of segmentation, targeting, and positioning (STP) and explains how the positioning is communicated and perceived by consumers through marketing communication strategies. The research applies a qualitative case study approach; data were collected through in-depth interviews with internal café stakeholders and Gen Z consumers, direct observation, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model with triangulation to ensure validity. Findings indicate that Empat Coffee and Space targets Generation Z by offering spatial experiences that are comfortable, aesthetic, and supportive of both social and productive activities; consumers perceive the café as aligned with the Gen Z lifestyle, providing comfort, freedom of expression, and a sense of belonging. These perceptions reinforce the ?Gen Z?s Space? positioning, which is realized through spatial design, personalized service, and consistent marketing communication, highlighting the importance of consumer perceptions and spatial experiences in strengthening café positioning for the Generation Z market.
