Data were collected by interviewing resource persons and also by using documentation techniques. The results of this study indicate that the use of Instagram social media can build a positive image of Joko Widodo as evidenced through his Instagram account by building an impression in front of the audience which includes uploading portraits of his success as a head in the country, among other things, building an idiosyncratic infrastructure as a variety of Indonesian idioms, ideals have as many ilike I on every posting. In addition, there appears to be consistency in building Jokowi's image during the campaign period. This is also supported by Joko Widodo's attitude who is very open-minded and appears offensive in using his personal Instagram for political campaigns.
