Background of the Study
In the rapidly evolving marketing landscape, interactive advertisements have become a significant tool for businesses to engage customers more directly and meaningfully. These advertisements involve the integration of digital platforms where consumers actively participate in the advertisement, creating a dynamic experience rather than just passive consumption (Hsu & Huang, 2023). Coca-Cola, one of the leading global beverage brands, has harnessed this strategy in its advertising campaigns to foster customer engagement. Interactive advertisements can be classified into various forms, including gamified ads, social media campaigns, and augmented reality (AR) experiences. These methods offer customers opportunities to interact with the brand, thereby influencing their perceptions and purchase behaviors (Abubakar & Yusuf, 2024).
Customer engagement, particularly in emerging markets like Nigeria, has become a focal point of marketing strategies. In Kwara State, a region with growing urbanization and a youthful population, Coca-Cola has targeted consumers through digital advertising initiatives that encourage interaction and participation. These campaigns aim to build brand loyalty and improve customer retention by offering personalized experiences. Coca-Cola’s strategic use of interactive advertisements, therefore, provides a unique opportunity to explore how digital engagement influences customer-brand relationships in the context of Nigerian consumers (Oluwaseun et al., 2023).
Understanding the role of interactive advertisements in customer engagement is crucial for businesses aiming to remain competitive in Nigeria’s fast-paced digital market. This study aims to investigate the impact of Coca-Cola's interactive advertisements on customer engagement in Kwara State and determine how effectively such strategies contribute to brand loyalty and consumer satisfaction. Interactive advertisements not only serve to promote a brand but also create lasting connections with the target audience by involving them in the content creation process. Hence, Coca-Cola’s marketing efforts in Kwara State could provide valuable insights into the broader implications of interactive advertisement strategies for customer engagement.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the increasing reliance on interactive advertisements by global brands, there remains a gap in understanding the specific role these advertisements play in enhancing customer engagement, particularly within local Nigerian markets. Coca-Cola, as a major player in the Nigerian beverage industry, has incorporated interactive advertisements in its marketing campaigns, yet the effectiveness of these initiatives in fostering deep customer engagement in Kwara State remains uncertain. While Coca-Cola’s interactive ads are expected to contribute positively to customer-brand interaction, it is unclear how well these strategies resonate with the demographic and cultural characteristics of consumers in Kwara State (Bello et al., 2023).
The limited academic research on this particular aspect of advertising in Nigerian regions further underscores the need for this study. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the impact of Coca-Cola’s interactive advertisements on consumer engagement in Kwara State and determine the level of influence these advertisements have on customers’ attitudes, loyalty, and purchasing behavior. Addressing this gap will not only provide Coca-Cola with critical feedback for improving their marketing strategies but also contribute to the growing body of knowledge on digital advertising strategies in Nigeria.

Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on Coca-Cola’s interactive advertising campaigns in Kwara State, Nigeria, specifically examining the experiences and perceptions of consumers who have engaged with these campaigns. The research will be limited to a sample of individuals in urban and semi-urban areas of Kwara State who have been exposed to Coca-Cola’s digital advertising platforms. While the study will provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of interactive advertisements in this region, its findings may not be fully generalizable to other states or rural populations due to variations in cultural and economic factors.
