Background of the study
Integrated marketing innovation involves the use of creative and technological advancements to enhance marketing efforts and influence consumer behavior. This study investigates how an FMCG company in Kaduna utilizes innovative marketing strategies—combining digital tools, interactive content, and experiential promotions—to capture consumer interest and drive purchasing decisions. By integrating traditional marketing approaches with cutting-edge digital innovations, the company aims to create engaging campaigns that resonate with a diverse consumer base (Oladipo, 2023). Such innovation not only differentiates the brand in a crowded market but also facilitates real-time feedback and rapid campaign adjustments. Recent research indicates that innovative marketing practices can lead to significant improvements in consumer behavior, including increased brand loyalty and higher conversion rates (Eze, 2024). However, challenges such as technological barriers and resource constraints may impede the effective implementation of these innovations. This study explores the impact of integrated marketing innovation on consumer behavior and offers recommendations for optimizing innovative strategies within the FMCG sector in Kaduna (Balogun, 2025).

FMCG companies in Kaduna often face difficulties in influencing consumer behavior due to conventional marketing approaches that fail to incorporate innovative techniques. The lack of integrated marketing innovation can result in stagnant consumer engagement and reduced brand competitiveness. Despite significant investments in traditional marketing channels, companies struggle to capture the dynamic preferences of modern consumers. This study seeks to identify the barriers to adopting innovative marketing strategies and evaluate their impact on consumer behavior (Oladipo, 2023; Eze, 2024).
