Background of the study:
Video marketing has revolutionized how brands communicate their stories, enabling a dynamic interaction with audiences through visual content. On streaming platforms in Rivers, Nigeria, companies are harnessing the power of video marketing to craft compelling narratives that resonate with viewers. This study examines the effectiveness of video marketing campaigns in enhancing brand storytelling, emphasizing the integration of narrative techniques, visual aesthetics, and audience engagement strategies (Okafor, 2023). Brands are increasingly investing in high-quality video content that conveys their values, missions, and product benefits in an immersive manner (Udo, 2024). The evolving digital landscape has shifted consumer expectations, demanding more authentic and visually engaging storytelling methods. As streaming platforms become primary sources of entertainment and information, the competitive need for distinctive brand narratives intensifies. However, measuring the impact of video marketing remains challenging due to variables such as audience demographics, platform algorithms, and content saturation. This research aims to evaluate how video marketing campaigns contribute to brand storytelling, exploring both the creative and strategic aspects involved. By analyzing viewer engagement metrics and narrative effectiveness, the study seeks to offer recommendations for optimizing video content that not only attracts but also retains viewer interest, thereby strengthening brand identity and market positioning (Chukwu, 2025).
Statement of the problem:
Although video marketing has become a popular medium for brand storytelling, streaming platforms in Rivers, Nigeria face significant challenges in quantifying its impact. Brands often struggle to attribute increased consumer engagement directly to their video content due to the complex interplay of platform algorithms, viewer preferences, and external market influences (Okafor, 2023). Additionally, there is a lack of standardized metrics to evaluate narrative effectiveness and emotional resonance with target audiences. These challenges hinder the optimization of video marketing strategies, leaving brands uncertain about where to invest their resources for maximum return. The problem is further compounded by the rapid evolution of digital trends, which require constant adaptation of storytelling techniques. Therefore, this study intends to address these challenges by systematically investigating the elements of successful video marketing campaigns and their effect on enhancing brand storytelling (Udo, 2024).
