Background of the Study
In recent years, digital marketing has revolutionized how brands communicate with consumers. Among the various digital platforms, YouTube has emerged as a dominant force in video advertising due to its massive global audience and engaging content format.

The company, which operates several branches across Nigeria, including in Yobe State, uses YouTube to promote its products and services, targeting both local consumers and a wider audience through captivating video content.

It will focus on how well YouTube ads capture attention, build recall, and drive customer recognition of Shoprite’s offerings, ultimately influencing consumer perceptions and decision-making.
