This study aims to examine the Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) strategy implemented by ME.DIA Coffee & Roastery in attracting consumer interest. This research employed a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research informants were selected using purposive sampling consisting of the owner, media administrator, barista, and customer of ME.DIA Coffee & Roastery. Data were analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model, while data validity was ensured through source triangulation and technique triangulation.
