Background of the study:
Big data analytics has revolutionized marketing strategies by providing actionable insights derived from large volumes of data. FMCG companies in Lagos are increasingly harnessing big data to optimize marketing campaigns, tailor product offerings, and enhance customer targeting (Ibrahim, 2023). This study examines how big data analytics is used to drive strategic decision-making, improve customer segmentation, and forecast market trends in the fast-moving consumer goods sector. By analyzing consumer behavior, purchasing patterns, and social media interactions, companies can develop more effective marketing strategies that yield higher returns (Okafor, 2024). The research discusses the integration of advanced analytical tools and machine learning algorithms in processing big data, enabling firms to identify emerging market opportunities and adjust their strategies in real time. Furthermore, the study evaluates the challenges related to data quality, privacy issues, and the complexity of data management that may affect the successful application of big data analytics. Recent studies underscore the importance of data-driven insights in achieving competitive advantage and driving revenue growth (Adeleke, 2023). This investigation aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how big data analytics optimizes marketing strategies within the FMCG sector.
Statement of the problem:
FMCG companies in Lagos face challenges in fully leveraging big data analytics to optimize their marketing strategies. Despite substantial investments in data infrastructure and analytics tools, many companies struggle with issues such as data integration, quality control, and the translation of insights into actionable marketing strategies (Okafor, 2024). This gap results in suboptimal campaign performance and missed market opportunities. The study addresses these issues by examining the role of big data analytics in informing marketing decisions and identifying barriers to effective data utilization. The objective is to provide solutions that can enhance strategic marketing outcomes (Ibrahim, 2023).
