The results derived from our study not only highlight the profound impact and potential of social media marketing in increasing brand equity and engagement, but also highlight the myriad challenges marketers face. These challenges arise from the rapidly changing algorithms, changing user behavior and the evolving nature of digital platforms. As the digital space continues to evolve, it is essential for marketers to keep up with these changes and adapt their strategies accordingly to ensure optimal brand visibility and engagement.
