The development of global social media has caused companies' marketing strategies to shift to using social media digital content through influencers, especially macro-influencers who have followers above one hundred thousand to one million. This study aims to analyse the effect of perceived influence on purchase intention through brand engagement in self concept and brand expected value as mediating variables. This study used Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square to analyse the data through SMARTPLS-3 software. The questionnaire was collected through Google Form and distributed through direct message, Instagram, Twitter, Linkedin, and Whatsapp features to 279 respondents. The results of this study prove that perceived influence from Rifat Sungkar can affect Mitsubishi Xpander purchase intention when mediated by brand engagement in self concept and brand expected value (H1 and H2 accepted). However, there is no significant effect on Rifat Sungkar's perceived influence on Mitsubishi Xpander purchase intention directly (H3 is rejected). The results also show that there is a significant relationship between brand engagement in self concept and brand expected value (H4 accepted).
