Background of the study
Public relations (PR) innovations are increasingly shaping brand reputation in today’s fast-evolving digital landscape. For consumer goods companies in Lagos, embracing new PR tactics—such as interactive digital campaigns, virtual events, and AI-driven sentiment analysis—is critical to staying competitive and maintaining a positive brand image. Innovative PR practices enable companies to engage with consumers in novel ways, build authenticity, and respond swiftly to market trends (Okeke, 2023). Research suggests that when companies integrate innovative PR strategies into their communications mix, they can significantly enhance brand reputation, foster loyalty, and drive sales growth (Adenuga, 2024). This study examines how a consumer goods company in Lagos has adopted PR innovations to improve its brand reputation by analyzing campaign outcomes, media coverage, and consumer feedback. The research evaluates the effectiveness of these innovations in overcoming traditional communication challenges and offers recommendations for further adoption of emerging PR technologies. The findings are expected to provide actionable insights into leveraging PR innovations for enhanced brand reputation and competitive advantage in the dynamic consumer goods sector (Ibrahim, 2025).
