Abstract

Jembrana Regency, located in the west of Bali, has the potential to become one of Indonesia's leading cocoa-producing regions. However, efforts to brand Jembrana as the ‘Cocoa City’ face several various challenges, including limited global recognition, inadequate infrastructure and a lack of integrated promotion. This study aims to analyse the influence of the six dimensions of the City Branding Hexagon model — Presence, Place, Potential, People, Pulse and Pre-requisites — on Jembrana's branding strength. A quantitative approach involving multiple linear regression analysis was used to collect data through surveys of cocoa farmers, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and local communities. The results show that Place, People, Pulse and Pre-requisites significantly influence city branding, while Presence and Potential do not. This research provides a practical framework for developing regional branding strategies based on local agro-industrial strengths, and it contributes to the theoretical application of the City Branding Hexagon model in semi-rural regions.
