A few years ago, it was reported that digital marketing in Nigeria was worth $2 billion, but by 2020, it could reach $10 billion. According to Jesse Soleil, Executive Vice President of Porter Novelli, the factor that halters the growth of Nigerian digital marketing is the fact that most people and companies involved in it do not take consumers’ needs and behaviours into consideration when creating their digital marketing campaigns.
Thus, in order to facilitate the development of digital marketing in the country, companies need to implement marketing communication in order to reach their consumers in more effective ways. After all, even the best digital marketing strategies will not work if consumers have no interest in them. Therefore, it is important not to forget about the needs and wants of the people when creating a digital marketing campaign.

All things considered, Nigeria (as well as many other countries across the world) still has a long way to go when it comes to successful digital marketing. That said, digital marketing in Nigeria is on the right track, and as long as things continue to develop, we will definitely see many improvements along the way.
