Background of the study
Visual brand storytelling leverages imagery, video, and graphic design to create a compelling narrative that resonates with audiences. For creative startups in Lagos, where competition is fierce and digital presence is critical, visual storytelling is essential to capture attention and drive engagement. These startups employ a mix of high-quality visuals, dynamic social media content, and interactive digital experiences to communicate their brand values and creative vision (Adeleke, 2023). By using visual elements that evoke emotion and communicate complex ideas succinctly, these narratives can enhance audience recall and foster deeper connections. The integration of user-generated content, behind-the-scenes footage, and animated storytelling further enriches the brand’s narrative, encouraging audiences to participate and share their experiences. Digital platforms amplify these visual stories, creating an ecosystem where creativity and authenticity merge to form a unique brand identity. As consumer attention becomes increasingly fragmented, the ability to tell a compelling visual story is crucial for maintaining and boosting audience engagement. This study investigates how visual brand storytelling influences audience engagement, exploring the elements that drive interactive responses and contribute to overall brand equity.
Statement of the problem
Despite the widespread use of visual storytelling, creative startups in Lagos face challenges in measuring its direct impact on audience engagement. Many startups invest in sophisticated visual content without a clear framework to evaluate which elements—such as color schemes, imagery, or animation—most effectively capture consumer attention (Adeleke, 2023). Variability in digital platform algorithms and audience preferences further complicate the assessment of engagement outcomes. This study aims to address these issues by examining the relationship between visual storytelling strategies and audience engagement, identifying key components that yield higher interaction levels, and proposing methods to overcome measurement challenges.
Objectives of the study:
To evaluate the influence of visual storytelling on audience engagement.
To identify key visual elements that drive consumer interaction.
To recommend strategies for optimizing visual narratives.
Research questions:
How does visual brand storytelling affect audience engagement?

The findings will assist marketers in refining their visual content strategies to achieve better digital performance and stronger brand identity. By linking specific visual elements to engagement metrics, the research offers actionable recommendations for optimizing narrative techniques in a competitive digital landscape (Adeleke, 2023).
