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.
