Background of the study
Public relations innovations have rapidly evolved over recent years, influencing how organizations interact with their audiences and build brand advocacy. In the competitive consumer goods market in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, companies are increasingly adopting innovative public relations strategies to foster consumer trust and loyalty. These innovations include the use of digital platforms, interactive media, and strategic messaging, which are critical in enhancing communication and relationship management (Johnson, 2023). The integration of technology in public relations has enabled companies to create more engaging and personalized experiences, thus significantly impacting consumer behavior and brand perception (Miller, 2024). Additionally, such innovations facilitate real-time feedback and dialogue between companies and their customers, thereby strengthening brand advocacy. This study examines the interplay between innovative public relations practices and brand advocacy, highlighting how consumer goods companies in Port Harcourt are leveraging these practices to gain competitive advantages. The research emphasizes the importance of strategic communication in achieving customer engagement, enhancing corporate reputation, and ultimately driving sales growth. The dynamic nature of consumer markets necessitates continuous adaptation and innovation in public relations strategies. This study will therefore provide insights into the operational challenges and opportunities that arise from adopting new communication technologies, while also addressing potential risks associated with rapid digital transformation (Adams, 2025). The analysis aims to contribute to both academic discourse and practical management strategies within the public relations field.
Statement of the problem
Despite the growing adoption of innovative public relations strategies, consumer goods companies in Port Harcourt face significant challenges in effectively integrating these innovations to enhance brand advocacy. Many organizations struggle with aligning their traditional communication frameworks with modern digital tools, leading to fragmented brand messages and reduced consumer engagement (Johnson, 2023). Furthermore, limited empirical research exists on the direct correlation between innovative public relations practices and measurable improvements in brand advocacy in the Nigerian context. These challenges are compounded by budget constraints, technological disparities, and a rapidly changing consumer landscape, which impede the effective execution of strategic public relations initiatives (Miller, 2024). Consequently, companies may not fully realize the potential benefits of these innovations, impacting overall brand reputation and customer loyalty. This study aims to critically analyze these issues to propose viable strategies for overcoming the identified obstacles, thus ensuring a more effective application of innovative public relations practices.
