Abstract

Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that influencer marketing has emerged as a potent strategy for brands like Infinix Mobiles operating in the dynamic Nigerian market. The collaboration with Nigerian Instagram influencers has proven to be an effective approach for enhancing brand awareness, shaping brand perception, and driving sales growth. The study has demonstrated that influencer marketing campaigns can significantly influence consumer behavior and purchasing decisions, as evidenced by the substantial number of respondents who made purchases based on influencer recommendations. Additionally, the ability of influencer collaborations to drive brand engagement and audience growth on social media platforms cannot be overlooked. However, it is important to recognize that the effectiveness of influencer marketing strategies may vary across different segments of the population, highlighting the need for brands to tailor their approaches to specific target audiences. Furthermore, while influencer marketing has the potential to enhance brand awareness, its impact may not be perceived as significant by all consumers. Overall, this study has contributed valuable insights into the realm of influencer marketing within the Nigerian context, providing a foundation for businesses to refine their strategies and leverage the power of influencers to achieve their marketing objectives effectively.
