Background of the study:
Interactive digital storytelling is emerging as an innovative approach to building brand identity by engaging audiences through immersive narratives. A heritage tourism project in Kano, Nigeria, has adopted digital storytelling techniques—incorporating interactive maps, virtual tours, and user-driven narratives—to highlight its cultural assets and historical significance (Afolabi, 2023). This approach enables audiences to experience heritage sites virtually, fostering emotional connections and enhancing brand identity. By blending traditional storytelling with modern digital interactivity, the project seeks to promote cultural heritage while appealing to tech-savvy tourists. Interactive elements allow users to navigate through stories at their own pace and contribute personal experiences, making the narrative more engaging and authentic (Yetunde, 2024). Despite the innovative potential, challenges such as technological limitations, narrative coherence, and audience acceptance of digital formats persist. The study examines the effectiveness of interactive digital storytelling in reinforcing the project’s brand identity and its role in increasing visitor interest and engagement (Chimamanda, 2025).
Statement of the problem:
The heritage tourism project in Kano faces challenges in establishing a consistent brand identity through interactive digital storytelling. Inadequate integration of interactive elements and narrative inconsistencies have resulted in fragmented audience experiences (Oluwaseun, 2023). Technical issues and limited user engagement further compromise the storytelling impact. These challenges impede the project’s goal of building a strong, recognizable brand identity that resonates with both local and international audiences. Therefore, it is critical to identify and address the barriers that limit the effectiveness of interactive digital storytelling (Funmi, 2024).

To examine the impact of interactive digital storytelling on brand identity.

To recommend strategies for enhancing digital storytelling techniques to reinforce brand identity.

The findings will inform strategic decisions on content design and technology integration, enhancing audience engagement and cultural promotion (Afolabi, 2023).
Scope and limitations of the study:
The study is limited to examining interactive digital storytelling on brand identity for a heritage tourism project in Kano, Nigeria, and does not extend to other marketing strategies or regions.
