Strong brand awareness has a greater chance of being chosen, and therefore, it has the potential to increase purchase intention.

The sample size consisted of 104 respondents, selected using a non-probability sampling technique from the population of potential Traveloka consumers. The survey was distributed online through the Google Form platform. This research follows a quantitative associative approach, employing path analysis and the Sobel test for analysis. The findings of the study reveal that social media marketing has a positive and significant impact on purchase intention; social media marketing has a positive and significant impact on brand awareness; brand awareness has a positive and significant impact on purchase intention; and brand awareness significantly mediates the effect of social media marketing on purchase intention
