Background of the Study
Celebrity endorsements leverage the influence and popularity of public figures to promote brands, enhance visibility, and increase consumer trust. For telecommunications companies like MTN Nigeria, celebrity endorsements are a key strategy for driving brand recognition in competitive markets such as Gombe State (Okeke & Bello, 2024).
The effectiveness of celebrity endorsements depends on factors such as the credibility of the endorser, alignment with the brand, and the relatability of the campaign. This study examines how MTN Nigeria uses celebrity endorsements to enhance brand recognition in Gombe State (Adamu & Yusuf, 2023).
Statement of the Problem
While celebrity endorsements are impactful, challenges such as high costs, potential scandals, and mismatches between endorsers and brand values can diminish their effectiveness. For MTN Nigeria in Gombe State, these challenges may limit the overall impact of endorsement campaigns on brand recognition (Ahmed & Adeyemi, 2025).
This study appraises the effectiveness of MTN Nigeria's celebrity endorsement strategies in enhancing brand recognition and suggests improvements.
