Abstract
This study examines the influence of iconization in beer advertising on the patronage of select beers among Ibo students of the University of Uyo, Nigeria. Iconization refers to the use of symbols, images, or personalities to represent a brand and create a desirable image. The research investigates how iconization in beer ads shapes students' perceptions and preferences for specific beer brands. Using a survey research design, data was collected from 100 Ibo students through questionnaires. Findings reveal that iconization significantly influences beer patronage, with students more likely to choose beers associated with aspirational lifestyles, cultural symbols, or celebrity endorsements. The study also identifies key factors driving beer preferences, including taste, brand image, and peer influence. Results suggest that beer marketers can leverage iconization strategies to appeal to young adult consumers in Nigeria's competitive beer market. The study contributes to understanding the interplay between advertising, cultural identity, and consumption patterns among young Nigerians. Recommendations are made for targeted marketing strategies that align beer brands with the aspirations and values of Ibo students and similar demographics.
