Sensory Brand Experience, Brand Self-ConnectionAbstract
This study aims to analyze the influence of Sensory Brand Experience on Brand Loyalty, with Brand Self-Connection as a mediating variable, using a case study of consumers at hotel Ibis Samarinda. A quantitative method was applied, utilizing surveys through structured questionnaires. Data were collected from 201 respondents and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM). The results show that Sensory Brand Experience has a positive and significant effect on both Brand Self-Connection and Brand Loyalty, directly and indirectly through the mediation of Brand Self-Connection. These findings contribute to the development of marketing strategies based on experiential and emotional brand connections in the hospitality sector.
