Background of the study
Advertising campaigns play a crucial role in shaping customer perceptions and influencing product purchase behavior, particularly in the highly competitive food industry. In Abuja, food brands deploy diverse advertising strategies to capture consumer interest and drive sales. The effectiveness of these campaigns is largely determined by how customers perceive the authenticity, creativity, and relevance of the advertising message (Afolabi, 2023). Recent studies highlight that advertising not only informs but also emotionally engages consumers, thus impacting their purchase decisions (Babatunde, 2024). For food brands, the challenge lies in crafting campaigns that resonate with a diverse customer base while conveying trustworthiness and quality. The dynamic nature of consumer preferences, influenced by socio-economic factors and evolving digital media trends, requires food brands to continually adapt their advertising approaches (Afolabi, 2023). Furthermore, consumers in Abuja increasingly rely on digital platforms to gather information, making the assessment of campaign effectiveness both complex and multidimensional (Babatunde, 2024). This investigation seeks to explore how customer perceptions of advertising campaigns influence their product purchase decisions, ultimately providing insights that can help food brands refine their strategies to enhance market competitiveness and customer loyalty (Chukwu, 2025).
Statement of the problem
Food brands in Abuja are confronted with the challenge of ensuring that their advertising campaigns effectively translate into product purchase behavior. Despite significant investments in advertising, there remains a disconnect between campaign messaging and actual consumer buying patterns (Afolabi, 2023). Misalignment between customer expectations and the portrayed brand image can lead to reduced campaign effectiveness and lower sales (Babatunde, 2024). In addition, the rapid evolution of digital media often leaves brands struggling to maintain message consistency and authenticity, further undermining customer trust (Chukwu, 2025). This study is designed to investigate these challenges by analyzing customer perceptions of campaign effectiveness and the subsequent impact on their purchase decisions, thereby identifying key areas for improvement.

Its findings will offer valuable insights to marketing professionals and brand managers in Abuja, enabling them to refine advertising strategies for improved customer engagement and sales performance (Afolabi, 2023; Babatunde, 2024). The study also contributes to the academic literature on advertising effectiveness in emerging markets (Chukwu, 2025).
