Background of the Study
Yoruba digital advertising in Lagos has emerged as a dynamic field where traditional cultural expressions meet modern marketing strategies. Persuasive rhetoric in this digital arena employs a blend of visual imagery, language, and cultural symbolism to capture consumer attention and influence behavior (Akinlade, 2023). Advertisers incorporate elements of Yoruba proverbs, metaphors, and idiomatic expressions to create emotionally resonant messages that reflect local values and traditions. Digital platforms enable rapid dissemination of these messages, further amplifying their impact. Recent studies highlight that persuasive rhetoric in digital advertising not only drives consumer engagement but also contributes to the preservation of cultural identity in a rapidly globalizing market (Ogunleye, 2024). By examining online advertisements, this study investigates how rhetorical strategies are crafted and deployed to persuade audiences, emphasizing the role of cultural elements in reinforcing consumer trust and loyalty. The analysis focuses on linguistic choices, narrative techniques, and visual elements, shedding light on the integration of traditional Yoruba rhetoric within contemporary digital marketing practices (Akinlade, 2023).
Statement of the Problem
Despite the critical role of persuasive rhetoric in digital advertising, there is limited research focused specifically on Yoruba digital advertising in Lagos. Existing literature often overlooks the integration of traditional rhetorical strategies with modern digital techniques (Ogunleye, 2024). This gap limits our understanding of how cultural elements are leveraged to influence consumer behavior online. Furthermore, the rapid evolution of digital platforms poses challenges for advertisers striving to maintain cultural authenticity while appealing to a diverse audience. The study seeks to address these issues by examining the rhetorical strategies in Yoruba digital advertising, assessing their effectiveness in persuading and engaging consumers.
