Background of the Study
Online advertising in Nigeria has witnessed rapid growth, particularly through viral marketing campaigns that leverage social media platforms to capture consumer attention. This study appraises the pragmatic strategies employed in Nigerian online advertising, focusing on how marketers use language to persuade, engage, and evoke emotional responses. Advertisers incorporate various pragmatic devices such as humor, irony, and emotive appeals to craft messages that resonate with digital audiences (Eze, 2023). Viral campaigns often rely on succinct slogans, creative hashtags, and interactive content that encourage user participation. By analyzing a selection of successful viral marketing campaigns, this research investigates the role of pragmatic strategies in enhancing message effectiveness and brand recall. The study also considers how cultural nuances and digital media trends shape the use of language in advertising. Insights from this appraisal are expected to inform best practices for digital marketing, aiding advertisers in designing campaigns that are both innovative and culturally relevant (Onyema, 2024; Chinwe, 2025).
Statement of the Problem
Although online advertising is a growing field in Nigeria, there is limited research on the pragmatic strategies that underpin viral marketing campaigns. Inconsistent use of pragmatic devices can lead to ambiguous messages that fail to engage consumers (Eze, 2023). The lack of a systematic framework for analyzing these strategies impedes advertisers from optimizing their campaigns for maximum impact (Onyema, 2024). This study addresses this gap by examining the pragmatic techniques employed in viral online advertising, aiming to provide actionable insights that enhance clarity and persuasiveness (Chinwe, 2025).
