Background of the study
Mobile social media advertising harnesses the power of social networks and mobile connectivity to engage consumers in real time. This study evaluates how a digital platform in Port Harcourt utilizes mobile social media ads—across platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter—to drive consumer engagement. These advertisements, often featuring interactive and visually appealing content, are designed to capture user attention and encourage actions such as likes, shares, comments, and website visits (Adeniyi, 2023). By leveraging mobile targeting capabilities, the platform can tailor ads based on user preferences and behavior, thereby enhancing ad relevance and engagement. Research suggests that mobile social media advertising significantly boosts consumer interaction and builds brand awareness. However, challenges such as ad fatigue, content saturation, and varying platform algorithms may affect performance. This study will analyze key engagement metrics and consumer feedback to determine the effectiveness of these mobile ads, offering recommendations for optimizing ad design and targeting strategies (Okoro, 2024; Chinwe, 2025).

Digital platforms in Port Harcourt face challenges in converting mobile social media advertising into meaningful consumer engagement. Generic ad content and ineffective targeting often result in low interaction rates and minimal user involvement. Despite investments in mobile social media campaigns, the lack of personalization and dynamic content can lead to diminished consumer interest and reduced engagement levels. This study aims to identify the critical factors limiting the effectiveness of mobile social media advertising and assess their impact on consumer engagement (Adeniyi, 2023; Okoro, 2024).
