Background of the study
Digital public relations (PR) have emerged as an integral component in shaping consumer perceptions, particularly for tech companies operating in fast-paced markets like Lagos. By leveraging digital channels such as social media, blogs, and online news platforms, tech companies can disseminate targeted messages that build brand credibility and foster positive consumer attitudes (Okeke, 2023). This study reviews various digital PR strategies used by a leading tech company in Lagos to enhance consumer perceptions, examining the effectiveness of online press releases, influencer collaborations, and interactive social media campaigns. Research indicates that when digital PR efforts are aligned with brand values and consumer interests, they significantly improve public sentiment and trust (Adenuga, 2024). However, challenges such as negative online reviews, misinformation, and rapid information dissemination can adversely affect consumer perceptions. This review synthesizes evidence from multiple digital PR initiatives to identify best practices and potential pitfalls. The study aims to provide actionable recommendations for optimizing digital PR efforts to boost consumer perceptions and support long-term brand success (Ibrahim, 2025).
Statement of the problem
Tech companies in Lagos often encounter difficulties in managing digital PR to enhance consumer perceptions effectively. Negative online narratives, misinformation, and inconsistent messaging can undermine PR efforts and damage brand credibility (Chinwe, 2023). The lack of standardized metrics for evaluating digital PR success further complicates the ability to measure its impact on consumer perceptions. This study addresses the need to review and consolidate effective digital PR strategies that enhance consumer trust and positive brand image. Without clear guidelines, tech companies risk inefficient PR practices that fail to fully leverage digital channels for reputation management.
