Abstract

Digital marketing is growing in significance from year to year in the age of digital progress as a component of marketing strategies used by businesses of all shapes and sizes. This necessitates content marketing since the effectiveness of an organization's online consumer communications is mainly dependent on the calibre of its content marketing. Enhancing the quality of content marketing is necessary in this situation, and digital marketers must analyse the effectiveness of focused content marketing to modify their material and select the most effective promotion strategy.

The purpose of this study was to examine the company's use of content marketing in social media communities, the audience's interactions with the brand, and the company's brand awareness. The study employed statistical methods to scrutinize approximately (208) customer opinions for the ALWatani Internet Company, utilizing the AMOS.V.24 program and the SPSS.V26 program to analyze the questionnaire. The results showed an impact of content marketing on brand awareness. These categories offer ample evidence of how content marketing can effectively introduce, raise awareness, and familiarize consumers with the brand through the achieved results.
