During collaboration strategies, companies combine two or more products with different characteristics. This strategy is interesting to research because it is an out-of-the-box strategy. In general, brand partnerships usually occur between companies with similar values, missions, and consumer target markets. This study aims to examine the effect of co-branding and promotions on customer-based brand equity and repurchase intentions with customer-based brand equity as a mediator. This paper used a quantitative approach. Data collection was carried out through online surveys distributed among 115 buyers of a collaborative product of Upmost Beauté cosmetic item and Tolak Angin herbal medicinal item in the city of Semarang, Central Java Province, Indonesia. Data analysis used regression tests and Sobel tests with SPSS 24.0 software. The research results found empirical evidence that co-branding and promotions increase customer-based brand equity, and customer-based brand equity increases repurchase intentions. These results also reveal the mediating role of customer-based brand equity in contributing to increased repurchase intentions. Co-branding and promotional strategies increase repurchase intentions through customer-based brand equity.
