Background of the study
Media strategy integration has become essential for enhancing public relations (PR) effectiveness, especially for tech startups operating in dynamic markets like Lagos. This study examines how a tech startup integrates various media strategies—combining traditional press releases, social media outreach, influencer collaborations, and content marketing—to create a unified PR approach that improves overall communication effectiveness (Adeyemi, 2023). The research explores the synergistic effects of blending digital media with conventional methods, enabling the startup to reach diverse audiences and build a strong brand narrative. Effective integration helps ensure that messages are consistent and timely, thereby increasing stakeholder engagement and enhancing corporate image. As digital platforms evolve rapidly, the ability to adapt and harmonize multiple media channels is critical. The study investigates the specific tools and methodologies employed to measure the impact of media integration on PR outcomes, including reach, sentiment analysis, and audience feedback. By evaluating these integrated strategies, the research aims to provide actionable insights that can help tech startups optimize their communication efforts. The findings are expected to contribute to a deeper understanding of how integrated media strategies not only amplify message delivery but also foster long-term stakeholder relationships in a competitive market environment (Chinwe, 2024).
Statement of the problem
Tech startups in Lagos often struggle with fragmented communication strategies that diminish the effectiveness of their public relations efforts. Inconsistent messaging across different media channels can confuse stakeholders and weaken brand credibility (Obi, 2024). The lack of integrated media strategies leads to missed opportunities for engagement and reduced impact of PR campaigns. This study seeks to identify the obstacles to effective media strategy integration and determine how a cohesive approach can enhance PR effectiveness. Addressing these challenges is essential for startups aiming to build strong relationships with customers, investors, and partners. The study will focus on the difficulties of coordinating diverse media tools and measuring their combined impact, which are key issues hindering optimal PR outcomes.
Objectives of the study:
To evaluate the impact of integrated media strategies on PR effectiveness.
To identify challenges in achieving cohesive media integration.
To recommend best practices for optimizing integrated communication efforts.
Research questions:
How does media strategy integration influence PR effectiveness?
What are the main challenges in coordinating multiple media channels?

Significance of the study (simulated 100 words):
This study is significant as it offers insights into how integrated media strategies can enhance PR effectiveness for tech startups in Lagos. The findings will help practitioners develop more cohesive communication frameworks, leading to improved stakeholder engagement and brand reputation. By bridging theory and practice, the research contributes to the academic literature on integrated communications and provides actionable recommendations for optimizing media strategies in competitive digital markets (Adeyemi, 2023).
Scope and limitations of the study:
The study is limited to a single tech startup in Lagos and focuses exclusively on media strategy integration in PR. It does not examine other aspects of overall corporate communication.
