Background of the study:
Viral marketing campaigns have become an influential tool for enhancing brand awareness in the digital age. For consumer tech gadgets in Lagos, these campaigns offer a dynamic platform to reach a broad audience quickly. By leveraging social media, user-generated content, and word-of-mouth, companies aim to create buzz that transcends traditional marketing channels (Eze, 2023). This study investigates how viral marketing, through the use of creative content and interactive challenges, can drive consumer engagement and establish a strong market presence. Recent technological advancements and the ubiquity of digital networks have provided tech companies with innovative ways to create and disseminate content that resonates with their target demographics (Chukwu, 2024). The research examines the factors that contribute to the success of viral campaigns, such as emotional appeal, shareability, and timing, and discusses the measurable impact on brand visibility and consumer perceptions. In addition, the study highlights the potential risks associated with viral marketing, including message misinterpretation and rapid content saturation, which may adversely affect brand reputation (Okafor, 2023). This investigation provides a holistic view of the strategies employed and their effectiveness in elevating brand awareness in a competitive market.
Statement of the problem:
Consumer tech companies in Lagos face the challenge of maintaining consistent brand awareness amid an oversaturated digital landscape. While viral marketing campaigns have the potential to create significant buzz, their unpredictable nature and fleeting impact often leave companies struggling to sustain long-term brand recognition (Nduka, 2023). This study seeks to address the gap in understanding how viral marketing efforts convert into lasting brand awareness and customer loyalty. It further explores the balance between generating rapid online buzz and ensuring that the brand message remains coherent and impactful over time (Chukwu, 2024).

The findings will enable tech companies in Lagos to design more effective campaigns that not only generate immediate buzz but also contribute to sustained brand equity, thus supporting long-term market success (Eze, 2023; Chukwu, 2024).
