description Sustainability is increasing important, particularly in higher education institution (HEI) in Malaysia. In order to sustain, social media marketing (SMM) efforts are seemed necessarily to promote customer-based brand equity (CBBE), and as a result lead to electronic word of mouth (eWoM) intention and BCI (choice of the university to further their higher education) for HEI.
