Background of the study
Digital public relations (PR) strategies are increasingly important for enhancing brand awareness in a globalized marketplace. Multinational firms in Kano leverage digital channels—such as social media, online press releases, and influencer collaborations—to disseminate their brand message and reach a diverse audience. These strategies facilitate real-time engagement and enable companies to monitor public sentiment effectively. Research indicates that successful digital PR can significantly boost brand visibility and foster positive associations among consumers, thereby driving market growth (Okeke, 2023). However, the rapid evolution of digital media poses challenges, including managing information overload and ensuring message consistency across platforms. This review examines digital PR strategies employed by a multinational firm in Kano, evaluating their impact on brand awareness through quantitative metrics like reach and engagement, as well as qualitative assessments of consumer perception. The aim is to identify best practices and provide recommendations for optimizing digital PR efforts to enhance overall brand awareness and reputation in a competitive digital environment (Adenuga, 2024; Ibrahim, 2025).
Statement of the problem
Multinational firms in Kano often struggle with maintaining consistent digital PR strategies that effectively enhance brand awareness. Inadequate message coordination and digital noise contribute to suboptimal consumer engagement, thereby reducing brand visibility (Chinwe, 2023). The lack of standardized digital PR practices hinders the ability to measure impact accurately and optimize campaigns for better performance.
