Mission, integrity and supported by staff-chef which is professional and experienced in providing catering in large quantities and kitchen facilities complete with good and hygienic cooking utensils to serve products with delicious and fresh taste quality [2], Jasaboga Company continues to develop its performance by marketing its products to the recreational park and non-recreation park markets. Jasaboga companies need to develop a brand communication strategy because the current marketing communications are deemed to be minimal and inconsistent, do not have the right strategy, and do not have a special staff/team focused on creating and implementing brand communication programs as a marketing strategy.
