Background of the Study
Social media has become a powerful marketing tool in the financial services sector, offering real-time engagement, brand building, and direct communication with clients. Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) leverages social media platforms to enhance its marketing strategies in investment banking by disseminating market insights, promoting innovative financial products, and engaging with potential clients through targeted campaigns (Olu, 2023). The bank uses a mix of platforms—including LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook—to reach diverse audiences and create a strong digital presence. These strategies are designed to build brand credibility, improve customer relationships, and drive client acquisition in a competitive market. Moreover, the integration of social media analytics enables GTBank to monitor campaign performance and adjust strategies dynamically, ensuring effective communication and timely responsiveness. However, the rapid pace and complexity of social media also introduce challenges, such as managing reputational risks, ensuring regulatory compliance, and maintaining consistent messaging. This study examines the impact of social media on GTBank’s investment banking marketing strategies, evaluating its influence on brand awareness, customer engagement, and overall market positioning.
Statement of the Problem
GTBank faces challenges in harnessing social media for effective marketing in its investment banking division. A primary issue is ensuring consistent and high-quality engagement across multiple platforms, which can lead to fragmented brand messaging and potential reputational risks (Ijeoma, 2023). In addition, the fast-paced nature of social media requires constant monitoring and rapid response, which may strain internal resources and lead to inconsistencies in communication. Regulatory concerns also complicate the use of social media, as the bank must adhere to strict guidelines while promoting financial products. These challenges can undermine the intended benefits of increased market visibility and client engagement. This study seeks to identify the obstacles that hinder the effective use of social media in GTBank’s marketing strategies and assess their impact on overall performance. The objective is to develop strategic recommendations that enhance consistency, regulatory compliance, and customer engagement in the digital marketing realm.
