"Pemasaran yang dilakukan melalui media sosial (social media marketing) telah banyak dimanfaatkan di era digital. Salah satu keuntungan dalam melakukan social media marketing adalah bisnis dapat mengenalkan merek (brand) kepada khalayak. Beberapa penelitian terdahulu juga telah membuktikan bahwa social media marketing memiliki pengaruh yang positif terhadap brand awareness dan brand image. Tesis ini menguji pengaruh social media marketing (pemasaran media sosial) terhadap brand awareness (kesadaran merek) dan brand image (citra merek) pada HuntStreet.com, bisnis yang bergerak di bidang sustainable fashion. Dimana HuntStreet.com aktif melakukan pemasaran di media sosial instagram, youtube, dan facebook. Namun respon khalayak dapat dikatakan rendah, hal ini dilihat dari hasil penelusuran di search engine Google terkait HuntStreet.com yang masih sedikit dan rating beserta ulasan terkait HuntStreet.com di Google Review yang juga rendah. Hal ini bertolak belakang dari konsep social media marketing dan juga hasil penelitian terdahulu yang menunjukkan adanya pengaruh ketika melakukan pemasaran di media sosial terhadap brand awareness dan brand image dari merek tersebut. Menggunakan paradigma positivisme, penelitian ini adalah penelitian kuantitatif yang menggunakan metode analisis jalur yang menguji empat hipotesis berupa pengaruh social media marketing terhadap brand awareness, brand awareness terhadap brand image, social media marketin terhadap brand image, dan social media marketing terhadap brand image melalui brand awareness. Variabel social media marketing dalam penelitian ini menggunakan 6 dimensi: entertainment, interaction, customization, electronic word of mouth (E-WOM), trendiness, dan advertisement. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ke-empat hipotesis alternatif (Ha) diterima, yakni social media marketing memiliki pengaruh  positif terhadap brand awareness, brand awareness memiliki pengaruh  positif terhadap brand image, social media marketing memiliki pengaruh  positif terhadap brand image, dan social media marketing memiliki pengaruh  positif terhadap adap brand image melalui brand awareness. Kesimpulan bahwa hasil penelitian sejalan dengan penelitian-penelitian terdahulu dan pemasaran yang dilakukan menggunakan media sosial dapat berpengaruh terhadap pengetahuan khalayak terhadap merek dan membangun citra merek.
