Overall, 175 social media users among Gen Z in Melaka state were chosen using convenience sampling. Generation Z was chosen because they grow in a technological world and are interconnected with social media platforms. This quantified research accumulated survey questionnaire data to evaluate the hypotheses and the relationship between independent and dependent variables.

The researcher leveraged SPSS version 29.0 to perform an explanatory analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis, and validity and reliability analysis on the information collected intended for the present research. In practical contribution, the expected outcome contributes to the expanded collection of information regarding the factors that inspire food and beverage (F&B) companies to choose suitable mediums for product promotion, whether paid or organic social media advertising and thus alter their strategy for social media advertising.
