market, but it is still a promising business. Local skateboarding shoes brand developed quite rapidly

of enthusiasm by the society who starting to play skateboard, the high amount of local skateboarding
communities appears in Jabodetabek area and plentiful skateboarding events and competitions. The

Abstrak. Pesatnya perkembangan skateboard di Indonesia menjadi peluang bisnis bagi para
pengusaha lokal. Meskipun pasar skateboard di Indonesia tergolong sebagai pasar yang
tersegmentasi, namun bisnis pada industri ini tetap menjanjikan. Merek sepatu skateboard lokal
berkembang cukup pesat seiring dengan perkembangan olahraga skateboard di Indonesia, hal ini
dapat dilihat dari tingginya antusiasme masyarakat yang mulai bermain skateboard, jumlah
komunitas skateboard lokal yang bermunculan di daerah Jabodetabek, hingga banyaknya acara dan
kompetisi bertajuk skateboard. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat banyak kompetisi
skateboard di Indonesia yang telah digunakan sebagai strategi komunikasi. Kompetisi dianggap baik
dan efektif bagi para merek sepatu skateboard lokal untuk meningkatkan keterlibatan masyarakat
sebagai bentuk kesadaran merek, karena mereka dapat berperan sebagai elemen pendukung atau
penyelenggara kompetisi skateboard. Kompetisi juga dapat memberikan kesan positif bagi merek
itu sendiri. Selain itu, kompetisi yang diadakan secara offline perlu didukung oleh aktivitas online
dan mencakup unsur edukasi. Model Komunikasi Berlo (SMCR) menjelaskan bahwa ketika
menggunakan sebuah kompetisi, perlu didasarkan pada keterampilan komunikasi, pemahaman
csistem sosial dan budaya dari sumber dan penerima pesan yang kemudian dapat dirasakan oleh
panca indera manusia untuk meningkatkan keberhasilan penyampaian pesan dari sumber ke
