Tambakasri BUMDes Branding Assistance in Increasing Organizational Value. Tomy R. Muhammad. Muhammad A. Rifaldy A. Introduction Tambakasri Village, located in Tajinan District. Malang Regency. East Java, is a geographical journey that moves the heart. This village is spread between coordinates 3796 to 112. 4234 east longitude and 8. 0477 to 8. 0251 south latitude. With an area of 216 hectares. Tambakasri Village has abundant natural resources, which include the agricultural, livestock and land sectors. Agriculture is the backbone of the village's economy, with a focus on main food crops such as rice, sugar cane and secondary crops. However, other livelihoods such as animal husbandry and trade also play an important role in the daily lives of the residents of Tambakasri Village. While traditional livelihoods still dominate, this village has not escaped the era of globalization and growing economic challenges. In this context. MSMEs (Micro. Small and Medium Enterprise. in Tambakasri Village are an important pillar in local economic development. MSMEs are an effort to address various social problems such as poverty and unemployment (Sony Hendra Permana, 2. They not only create jobs for local residents, but also advance local economic potential and encourage sustainable economic growth. Moreover, with continuous developments in the digital era. MSMEs have the opportunity to increase their competitiveness through digital marketing and graphic design. In this ever-changing context, digital marketing and graphic design have become key elements in efforts to promote MSME products and services. Digital marketing leverages the possibilities of the internet and online presence to reach a larger audience, while graphic design helps in creating eye-catching and attention-grabbing visuals. The internet enables commercial activities where consumers can carry out transactions online (Aris Kurniawan & Moh Asharudin, 2. The use of technology for promotional purposes is an important key for the growth and sustainability of Micro. Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME. , as explained by (Alford & Page, 2. One way to support digital marketing is by utilizing social media and content marketing (Haryanto et al. , 2. Social Media Marketing is an effort to market products through social media platforms, as explained by (Arrigo, 2. Meanwhile. Content Marketing is a marketing strategy that involves creating and distributing relevant content, such as photos, videos, articles, and others, to attract consumer attention (Abidin et al. , 2021. Seyyedamiri & Tajrobehkar, 2. From the understanding of these two forms of promotion, it can be seen that graphic design skills are needed to create content that can attract consumer interest. One design editing tool that can be used is Canva. According to (Nuril Esti Khomariah & Puteri Noraisya Primandari, 2. Canva is a graphic design platform that allows users to easily create various types of creative designs online. Through Canva, we can design posters, flyers and presentations. In this context. Canva can help youth organization members create interesting product content, which can later be uploaded to social media or the Tambakasri Village MSME sales platform. Based on this situation, we plan to hold training for MSME players in Tambakasri Village with the aim of improving skills in digital marketing and product promotion for MSME business people in Tambakasri Village. Tajinan District. Malang Regency. This training will focus on using the Canva App and will include relevant and intensive material. This training activity will be carried out as part of the Community Service program in Tambakasri Village. Tajinan District. Malang Regency. In Tambakasri Village there are a number of MSMEs operating, divided into two main categories, namely production and trading businesses. The main obstacles faced by MSME actors in this village focus on two aspects. First, they experience difficulties in developing and marketing their business. Second, they have to compete with newcomers who have advantages in implementing technological innovation for marketing purposes in Tambakasri Village, thus having an impact on their business competition. In dealing with the problems described previously, the service team has formulated several solutions which are considered One of the main solutions is to invite experts or individuals who are competent in the field of digital marketing to hold discussions. This discussion activity is considered an effective method in overcoming the problems faced, and this approach supports the findings in previous . Tambakasri BUMDes Branding Assistance in Increasing Organizational Value. Tomy R. Muhammad. Muhammad A. Rifaldy A. research as suggested by (Axelsen et al. , 2023. Di et al. , 2021. Muttaqijn et al. , 2023. Palupiningtyas & Mistriani, 2. Therefore, the service team will carry out discussions with the Tambakasri village as a first step in presenting solutions to the obstacles faced. In this discussion, experts will share their knowledge and experience in the field of digital marketing and improving design quality, so that it is hoped that creative ideas and strategies will emerge that can help Tambakasri village optimize their marketing potential With this approach, it is hoped that the problems faced can be overcome more effectively and sustainably. One action that can be taken is to provide training to MSME players about digital marketing, which will help them bring innovation and simplify the product marketing process. This training approach has been proven successful in previous contexts, as has been shown by research conducted by (Kadek Novayanti Kusuma Dewi & Luh Putu Mahyuni, 2022. Susanti, 2020. Product & Masa, 2. Research conducted by (Prihantika et , 2021. Arifudin et al. , 2021. Choirina et al. , 2022. Agustina et al. , 2. also shows a significant impact in improving product design. These studies show that digital marketing training and improving product design for MSMEs can produce innovation and increase their understanding of the importance of digitalization. Therefore, training and mentoring activities must be scheduled regularly to achieve optimal results. Success can be measured by looking at the increase in skills of MSME players in terms of digital marketing and improvement in product design, which is expected to make them active in digital media, reaching more than 10% participation compared to before the training and mentoring was carried out.
