Advances in digital technology have triggered a major transformation in the way marketing is conducted, particularly through the use of social media as a communication tool for marketing. Instagram has become one of the most popular platforms among businesses due to its focus on visual appeal and the various interactive features it offers that can strengthen the bond between brands and customers. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the content marketing methods used by @PrefekturCoffee's Instagram to increase customer purchase interest. This study was conducted using a qualitative approach and case study. Data collection techniques were carried out through in-depth interviews with the business owner, observation of Instagram content, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using Miles and Huberman's interactive model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study indicate that Prefektur Coffee implements a content marketing strategy that emphasises visual consistency, message relevance, and the utilisation of Instagram features such as feeds, stories, reels, and highlights. This strategy is capable of building attention, interest, information search, purchase action, and encouraging customers to share their experiences in line with the AISAS model (Attention, Interest, Search, Action, Share). It is hoped that this research will contribute theoretically to digital marketing communication research and provide practical guidance for businesses on how to optimise content marketing strategies for Instagram.

In the highly competitive sports equipment market, particularly for badminton items, businesses must rely not only on high-quality products but also on efficient digital media marketing techniques. Brands frequently utilize Instagram, a visual social media site, to enlighten consumers about their products and pique their interest. Yonex uses Instagram with the account @yonex_badminton.
