Background of the Study
Social media marketing has revolutionized the way businesses engage with their customers and build brand awareness. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn allow organizations to reach large audiences in real-time, creating opportunities for cost-effective and interactive marketing campaigns (Kotler & Keller, 2023). Globally, companies that integrate social media marketing into their strategies report higher engagement levels, improved customer reach, and enhanced brand visibility.
In Nigeria, the rapid adoption of social media, driven by increased internet penetration and mobile device usage, has transformed marketing practices across industries. The Dangote Group, one of Africa’s largest conglomerates, operates in Kaduna State with significant influence in manufacturing, construction, and agriculture. For the Dangote Group, leveraging social media marketing is crucial to maintaining its competitive edge and strengthening its brand presence in the region (Adedeji & Oke, 2024).
This study investigates the impact of social media marketing on brand awareness, focusing on the Dangote Group’s operations in Kaduna State.

In Kaduna State, where digital literacy varies among consumers, maximizing the potential of social media marketing requires tailored approaches. This study examines the challenges and effectiveness of social media marketing in enhancing brand awareness for the Dangote Group.
