Background of the Study
In the modern marketing landscape, interactive advertisements have gained considerable attention for their ability to engage consumers in two-way communication, allowing brands to capture attention, spark interest, and encourage participation. These ads, which often include features like quizzes, polls, clickable banners, and video interactions, are designed to elicit direct responses from viewers, creating an immersive experience that strengthens the connection between the consumer and the brand.
Airtel Nigeria, a major telecommunications provider, has integrated interactive advertising into its marketing strategies to engage its customers across the country, including in Katsina State. By leveraging digital and mobile platforms, Airtel aims to create ads that not only promote its services but also involve consumers in meaningful ways. Interactive advertisements are particularly relevant in the telecom industry, where customer engagement is critical to brand loyalty and market competition.
This study will examine the impact of Airtel Nigeria’s interactive advertisements on customer engagement in Katsina State. It will focus on how interactive features in Airtel’s ads enhance consumer participation, increase brand interaction, and contribute to customer loyalty.
