1.1 Background of the Study
Publicity campaigns are essential tools for attracting attendees to events, leveraging various communication channels such as social media, radio, television, and print media. In Lokoja Local Government Area, Kogi State, events ranging from cultural festivals to educational seminars depend heavily on effective publicity to generate awareness and interest. The advent of digital media has revolutionized publicity strategies, enabling targeted and real-time engagement with potential attendees.
