Background of the Study
Big data analytics has emerged as a transformative tool in modern marketing, allowing businesses to gather, analyze, and interpret large datasets to make informed decisions. In the telecom industry, where competition is fierce and customer expectations are high, big data analytics enables companies to design targeted marketing campaigns, predict customer behavior, and improve service personalization (Adebayo & Yusuf, 2024).
In Kano State, telecom companies operate in a highly dynamic environment characterized by increasing data consumption and diverse customer needs. The ability to leverage big data for marketing campaigns is critical for improving customer retention, optimizing resource allocation, and driving profitability. However, challenges such as data privacy concerns, lack of technical expertise, and high implementation costs often hinder the effective utilization of big data analytics (Abubakar et al., 2023).
This study examines the application of big data analytics in marketing campaigns by telecom companies in Kano State, focusing on its impact on customer engagement, campaign effectiveness, and organizational growth.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the potential of big data analytics to revolutionize marketing campaigns, its adoption in Kano State's telecom sector remains inconsistent. Many companies face challenges related to data integration, analytics infrastructure, and skill gaps, which limit their ability to harness the full potential of big data (Ibrahim & Mohammed, 2025).
Moreover, the absence of empirical research on the effectiveness of big data-driven marketing strategies in the region creates a knowledge gap that needs to be addressed. This study aims to explore these challenges and provide insights into the benefits and limitations of big data analytics in marketing.
