Pratama Media News, Bandung City, Monday (January 30th, 2023) – The Multimedia Study Program (Prodi) of the Faculty of Visual Communication Design, Widyatama University (FDKV UTama), in collaboration with the Karyawangi Village Office, Parongpong District, West Bandung Regency, carried out a Community Service (PkM) activity. The preliminary discussion for this activity was held last Thursday (December 29th, 2022) at the Karyawangi Village Office.

The Head of Karyawangi Village, Dadang Sudayat, S.E., warmly welcomed the PkM activity in his area, which carried the theme “Making a Video Profile of MSMEs in Karyawangi Village, Parongpong District, West Bandung Regency.” According to him, promotional media for MSMEs is very much needed.

“The promotion of Karyawangi Village’s leading MSME products will have a positive impact on the progress of our village community,” said Dadang.

According to the Head of the FDKV Utama Multimedia Study Program, Marisa Astuti, S.ST., M.M., this activity was carried out in order to help improve the abilities/skills of students in creating multimedia products in the form of video profiles. The creation of these video profiles is closely related to the development of promotional potential in the village.

“Developing the potential of the village is the right and strategic choice for the development of village MSMEs. This activity will focus on promoting the potential of MSMEs that produce superior products from Karyawangi Village, which are not yet widely known by the general public,” said Marisa.

The Chair of the PkM Activity explained that the potential of Karyawangi Village’s MSME products could be developed through appropriate promotional media. Therefore, the Multimedia Program implemented the PkM in the form of creating a profile video for SMEs that produce Karyawangi Village’s signature products.
