This part will lay the groundwork for the investigation, identify any knowledge gaps, and present a theoretical structure by reviewing and synthesizing the existing literature.

2.2 Role of Advertising in community-building Activities

In accordance with the views of Desai, and Vidyapeeth (2019, p. 199) Marketing is extremely important in several different ways within the context of participatory events. Marketing primarily serves as a strategic instrument for advertising the event, luring participants and attendees, building awareness, and building a company's image in the framework of the tourism endeavor organized by Cake International Birmingham. This chapter examines the various roles that marketing plays in interactive events, with a particular emphasis on the tourism initiative run by Cake International Birmingham. In the beginning, marketing is crucial in spreading awareness of the event. Nabieva (2021, p. 335) stated that it entails creating and putting into practice efficient communication methods to contact the intended audience and notify them of the event. This can be accomplished using a variety of marketing channels, including websites, e-newsletters, social media platforms, and conventional advertising techniques. Event planners can interact successfully with the event's value proposition, unique selling factors, and advantages of engaging or visiting by making use of various mediums.

According to the connective Advertising Theory, marketing builds mutually beneficial stories between individuals as well as companies. Advertisement fosters psychological relations by using familiar images and compelling ideas to strengthen identities within groups. It draws attention to local values, sparks discussions, and promotes involvement in common concerns (Hagen, et.al, 2022). It promotes unity and also increases public awareness of society's problems. Extreme marketing yet is able to harm originality and diminish ties among communities. Advertisements must successfully strike equilibrium between offering goods for sale and upholding real participation in order to properly support developing communities' initiatives. Marketing is used to draw visitors and participants to the event. Event planners can find and connect with potential attendees who are interested in cake design and baking through focused marketing initiatives. To do this, the target population can be segmented using demographic and emotional information, and advertising messages can be adjusted accordingly. For example, Cake International Birmingham may reach people who have expressed a desire for similar events, cooking fans, cake designers who work in the industry or people who want to improve their talents in the area.

Silvia, (2019) identified in their study that in building and improving the event's brand image, marketing also contributes significantly. A powerful brand image establishes the event's uniqueness from rivals and inspires confidence and trust in the target audience. To develop distinctive and recognizable branding for Cake International Birmingham, event planners can use a variety of branding methods like logo layout, consistent advertising, and visual branding. The event may establish a solid reputation and encourage participant and attendee loyalty by continuing to deliver on its commitments made throughout marketing efforts. Marketing also encourages involvement and communication with the desired market. Participant participation and engagement are essential to the success of participatory events like Cake International Birmingham. Event planners may promote participation, get feedback, and create anticipation and excitement before the event by using successful marketing methods. This may be accomplished by running interactive social networking campaigns, holding freebies, and contests, and using hashtags for the event to foster a feeling of community and promote conversation between participants. Additionally, promotion is quite important for the event's financial success. Event planners may boost ticket sales, and land sponsorship agreements, and draw exhibitors and vendors by engaging in focused promotional initiatives. Cake International Birmingham can use marketing tactics to raise funds and ensure the event's survival by strategically portraying the event as a useful promotional venue for pertinent companies and sponsors.

According to Rosokhata, et.al, (2020) marketing aids in gauging the event's performance and obtaining input for future enhancements. Event planners may learn a lot about the success of their marketing campaigns by monitoring and analyzing marketing indicators like web traffic, social networking engagement, and reservations. Additionally, qualitative suggestions from guests and participants can be obtained using marketing research techniques like focus groups, survey forms, and post-event assessments. This information enables event planners to make educated decisions and execute changes for subsequent iterations of the event. In particular, in the context of the tourist event run by Cake International Birmingham, marketing is crucial to participatory events. It serves as a tactical tool for raising awareness, luring participants and guests, building a brand, encouraging involvement, bringing in money, and gauging the event's effectiveness. Event planners can increase the event's visibility, significance, and overall efficacy by putting good marketing techniques into place. This helps to make the event unique and beneficial for participants and guests. Advertisement has two purposes in developing communities. Certainly, it encourages common ideals, encourages involvement, and promotes knowledge. Yet, it may commodity local factors, which would weaken validity. Dependence excessively on marketing might marginalize real participation and result in ties that are only apparent. For communities to be successful, it is crucial to strike equilibrium between advertising and substantive involvement.

2.3 Challenges associated with promoting interactive events

Due to the distinctive features of interactive shows and the problems posed by involving the target audience, advertising them can create some challenges. This section examines some of the challenges associated with promoting social occasions and suggests strategies that might be applied to effectively solve them. Hagen, et.al, (2022, p. 103548) assessed getting the target audience's focus and interest as one challenge in marketing interactive events. It might be difficult to get out and raise awareness when there are so numerous initiatives and events vying for everyone's attention. Event planners might use a tailored marketing strategy to solve this. To successfully reach them, advertisements and platforms must be tailored to the event's precise target group. Event planners may develop persuasive marketing strategies that appeal to the audience they seek and grab their attention by researching their interests, tastes, and demographics.

Communicating the interactive elements and distinctive value of the event is another challenge. Interactive events provide chances for active engagement and deeper experiences that may be difficult to promote through conventional marketing means. Event planners can use digital marketing methods to tackle this issue. Van Dinter (2021, p. 106589) examined such as producing captivating and engaging content, for example, movies, live streams, or on-the-inside material, can excite the target audience and offer a preview of the event experience. Social networking sites may be utilized to promote interaction, disseminate user-generated material, and raise excitement before an event. Creating engaged attendees and promoting active participation can sometimes be difficult for interactive events. Event planners can solve this by implementing beforehand engagement initiatives. These may be competitions, difficulties, or engaging online discussion boards where attendees could get in touch, exchange ideas, and form connections before the event. This encourages attendees to actively participate throughout the event itself by fostering a sense of fellowship and anticipation.

Linnenluecke (2020, p. 177) ascertained the fact that promoting the advantages and worth of engagement can be challenging as well. Some people could be reluctant to join because they don't fully grasp the possible advantages or are concerned about the participatory character of the event. Event planners may tackle this by emphasizing the learning, socializing, and experiencing benefits of participation. Investigations, success stories, and participant testimonies can serve as concrete instances of the benefits that involvement can have. Furthermore, addressing participants' fears and demonstrating the stimulating experience they can anticipate through clear and thorough details about the event program, workshops, and events might be helpful. Additionally, practical difficulties may make it difficult to advertise interactive events. Marketing efforts may be impacted by problems including venue choice, schedule issues, and a lack of resources. Event planners can put a priority on efficient organizing and coordinating to tackle these issues. Making sure that participants are informed properly and with confidence about the event arrangements can inspire trust and spark enthusiasm. By utilizing relationships and partnering with pertinent businesses or sponsors, you can increase the event's audience and share resources and knowledge while overcoming logistical difficulties.

Additionally, it might be challenging to assess the effectiveness of marketing initiatives for interactive events. Traditional metrics might not fully reflect attendee engagement levels or the total effect of an event. Event planners might employ thorough collection and evaluation of data methodologies to overcome this issue. Hanelt, et.al, (2021, p. 1160) defined this may entail gathering attendees' feedback via surveys or post-event assessments, monitoring social media involvement, and examining participant behavior and interactions throughout the event. Creating decisions based on data for future advertising for events and assessing the efficacy of marketing campaigns can both benefit from these findings. Advertising interactive events present its challenges. Yet, event planners can successfully deal with these issues by adopting focused marketing techniques, utilizing digital tactics, highlighting the advantages of participation, managing logistical issues, and putting in place thorough data gathering and analysis. Interactive events may draw in and interest the target audience, raise awareness, and offer participants a worthwhile and enjoyable time through innovative and appealing marketing initiatives.

2.4 Significance of Digital Marketing for event promotion and brand recognition

On a critical note, Figueiredo (2021, p. 74) said that Digital marketing has a big impact on event advertising and brand recognition, providing event organizers with many advantages and chances. The importance of digital marketing is examined in this chapter, with special emphasis on how it affects audience reach, involvement, and strong brand presence. The potential of digital advertising for reaching a large audience represents one of the main benefits of using it to promote events. Utilizing a range of digital channels, such as emails, social networks, search engine optimization (SEO), and display ads, event organizers may reach and engage a global audience. Contrary to conventional marketing techniques, digital marketing allows for precise targeting based on interests, behaviors, and the population, assuring that advertising efforts are targeted to the right audience. Event organizers may increase participation with a participant of this site by luring participants from all geographical areas and developing a diversified and exciting event experience. Digital marketing also enables greater engagement with the targeted audience. Using personalized and engaging material, event organizers can develop strong relationships with prospective guests. Social media platforms provide a forum for face-to-face interaction whereby event organizers can respond to inquiries, disseminate information, and forge relationships with attendees. Aguinis (2023, p. 47) mentioned in their study that by providing interactive tools like video games, surveys, and live chats, digital marketing promotes involvement. This invites attendees to participate in event discussions, share their personal stories, and broaden the events' audience by using user-generated content.

Strong methods and instruments are available through digital marketing to develop and support a business's presence based on reputation. A unified brand identity is made possible through uniform branding over digital channels, such as websites, social networking accounts, and email correspondence. Event planners may demonstrate their knowledge, offer insightful information, and establish themselves as a business leader by using content marketing strategies like articles, blogs, and videos. Event planners can increase their credibility, draw a devoted audience, and improve the reputation of their company by offering high-quality and pertinent material. Digital marketing also offers quantifiable outcomes and insightful data. Event planners can monitor a variety of data, including website visitors, social media involvement, opened emails, and sales rates, using the aid of analytical software. This information makes it possible to continuously examine and improve marketing initiatives. Event planners may improve their tactics to connect with their intended audience, maximize ad expenditure, and increase the effectiveness of event advertising overall by analyzing audience behavior and preferences. The cost-effectiveness of digital advertising in comparison to conventional marketing strategies is another important feature. Print and broadcasting are two examples of traditional media that might be pricey and have a small audience. However, Polanco-Diges, (2020, p. 218) argued that flexible budgeting choices are frequently provided by digital marketing platforms, enabling event planners to effectively deploy their budgets. Paid advertising efforts can be very specifically targeted, assuring that marketing initiatives are focused on the most appropriate groups of audiences. Additionally, online advertising tends to be less expensive than conventional media. Digital promotion has an increased possibility of return on investment (ROI). It allows event planners to track and analyze campaign outcomes; they may make decisions based on data and improve their marketing tactics. Online advertising has a significant influence on brand awareness and advertising for events. On the plus side, it has unmatched reach, allowing worldwide advertising and immediate communication across a variety of channels. Exact analytics improve tactics and increase ROI. By encouraging real relationships, interactive material strengthens brand identification. On the other hand, drawbacks involve data collection raising privacy problems, as well as data overflow diluting the content. Algorithm modifications might also affect readability. However, in our tech-driven environment, the value and quantifiable effects of online advertising continue to be vital for generating enthusiasm, increasing brand exposure, and encouraging engagement.

Finally, constant interaction and prompt feedback are made possible by digital marketing. Event planners can interact with guests through websites and online events, respond to their queries, and take care of any issues as soon as they arise. Hiebl, (2023, p. 260) described this in-person interaction improves attendees' pleasure and contributes to a successful event. In addition, comments and reviews posted on digital channels offer event organizers useful information that they may use to improve current events and boost the overall client experience. Digital marketing is crucial for the recognition of brands and event promotion. It makes it possible for event planners to reach a larger audience, encourage participation, build a solid brand identity, and assess the success of marketing initiatives. Event planners may increase event attendance, forge deep connections with participants, and strengthen brand reputation by utilizing digital marketing methods as cited by Haddaway, et.al, (2020, p.1585). Digital marketing is an essential instrument for effective event advertising and building a strong event brand because of its affordability, metrics, and real-time interaction features.

3.3 Research Approach

When conducting inductive studies, the scholar gathers and examines data to create ideas, conceptions, or assumptions that rely upon the themes and findings revealed by the information. The study is conducted using the "bottom-up approach, where the scholar begins with particular findings before moving on to further general hypotheses or concepts. Inductive analysis is frequently employed in experimental investigations or when there has not been enough previous study on a particular subject. A framework, hypothesis, or generalization is the starting point for deductive inquiry that is subsequently tested by data and evidence gathering. It employs a top-down method, where the scholar begins with a broad hypothesis before it tests it using comprehensive data collection (Mehrad, 2019). The deductive analysis is frequently applied to verify a theory or examine a well-established notion.

3.4 Research philosophy

According to the positivism hypothesis, all real information may be confirmed with methods of science, including testing, observing, and analytical and arithmetic evidence. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the French philosopher and economist Auguste Comte coined the phrase “positivism.” Each of the three different phases of social life, according to Comte, was religious, spiritual, scientific in nature, or positive. The author thought society had reached the stage in which as a consequence of improvements in scientific research and rational thinking, an optimistic view regarding science was beginning to emerge. A method to study society known as interpretivism tends to be qualitative. According to interpretivists, persons are not merely simple robots that respond to societal pressures, but rather sophisticated, multifaceted beings. They contend that people perceive the same world in various ways and that's why they frequently act in various ways. Interpretivism contends that human behavior analysis should not use scientific approaches. To examine how people behave and how societies function, interpretivism suggests qualitative techniques like peer observation as well as unorganized interviews.

An interpretivism-based research philosophy is used in a case analysis (Tamminen and Poucher 2020). This school of thought places a strong emphasis on the personal comprehension of social events and aims to clarify the interpretations and implications that people give to their personal experiences. The study accepts the idea that individuals' perceptions, assumptions and life experiences influence how they engage with strategies for digital marketing at participatory events. The methodology of interpretivism enables broad perspectives into the phenomenon being studied by enabling an in-depth awareness of the societal and cultural circumstances underlying internet advertising in participatory events. Thus, by interpreting qualitative aspects related to digital marketing and participatory events solution has been presented.

3.5 Data collection

In research, data collection can be done mainly from two sources such as primary and secondary. It may be in the greatest position for an organization to only do primary studies after identifying gaps in the current secondary data because it often takes longer as well as has greater related expenses. Similarly to the investigation learners do during school, the second study is conducted (Burdon 2020). Research inquiries already have answers that may be found on the internet, in research databases, within the media, in printed books and journals, etc. Obtaining knowledge that is relevant to the specific study subject requires sifting over the material that already exists and is published.

For evaluating research problem effectually secondary data has been gathered from books, journals and scholarly articles. To lay the theoretical groundwork and develop an understanding of the issue, the scholar performs an extensive review of pertinent books, journals, conference papers, and business publications. To learn more about Cake International Birmingham including its internet promotional methods, the investigator also peruses web-based databases, company websites as well social networking channels. To comprehend the function and significance of online advertising in participatory things, secondary information is carefully analyzed and synthesized. The study is focused on finding trends, standard procedures, obstacles to overcome, and elements of success related to internet marketing for events. The incorporation of secondary information study enables a dissertation to take advantage of already-existing expertise to offer a thorough analysis of the subject by pulling from an array of pertinent sources.

3.6 Data analysis

The software program named SPSS (statistical package for the behavioral sciences), sometimes known as the SPSS program by IBM data, is employed for the analysis of data from statistical analyses. The name SPSS refers to its initial application in social science research, however, it is being thought about expanding into additional sectors. Studies in the fields of healthcare, advertisement, and education frequently use SPSS (Amarasinghe, et.al, 2020). One way to analyze qualitative data is through thematic analysis. It entails going by a piece of data (e.g. a text or transcripts of interviews) and looking for similarities to determine themes. To interpret the information, the personal viewpoint is crucial.

The thematic investigation is incorporated as a significant analytical strategy based on the case study of Cake International Birmingham. A method of qualitative study called thematic evaluation is employed to find, examine, and analyze trends, themes, and interpretations inside a set of data. To find common themes and trends relating to the implementation of digital advertising in participatory events, the data collected was recorded and organized for analysis. Thematic evaluation is a multi-stage procedure that includes familiarizing yourself with the information, coding, developing themes, and interpreting. The scholar carefully studies the information, categorizing text passages that correspond to particular concepts or thoughts. The substance of the information is then captured by such codes and arranged into overarching themes that shed light on the study issues. The themes that have been highlighted are additionally looked at and understood in light of their importance and ramifications about internet marketing in participatory events.

Enhanced exposure, participation, and client comfort are just a few of the many advantages of online advertising. But it also raises possible ethical issues that need to be taken seriously. The study must depend on reliable online sources, respectable business papers, trade publications, and academic databases. To ensure openness and enable users to find the primary sources, correct referencing and offering comprehensive citations for any secondary information utilized is essential. When individual information is gathered by Internet advertising platforms, concerns about confidentiality arise.

The gathering of information must be clear, and individuals must give informed permission (Navalta 2019). Digital inequality is a possibility, meaning that some sections of people may not provide equitable access to online channels. This might outcome in an absence of engagement with events and fairness. Different marketing tactics must be taken into account if you want to attract a varied market and guarantee equal engagement chances. Internet marketing ought to abide by marketing norms and stay away from dishonest tactics. To keep the trust of attendees and prevent misrepresenting them, it is crucial to explain the function, its services, and all linked advertising in an easily understood and factual manner.

3.8 Research limitations

There can be several restrictions that investigators may run into while studying the implementation of digital advertising in participatory occurrences, such as financial, timing, and limited resources. Cost may represent a major impediment. Financing is needed for studies to cover a range of expenses, including data collecting, analytical instruments, participants' promotions, as well as research people. The number of participants in the sample being studied, its scope, and its capacity to use cutting-edge research techniques and technology may all be constrained by a lack of funding.

The method of investigation might be impacted by time restrictions (Ross 2019). Research initiatives frequently have deadlines, and carrying out thorough studies inside these restrictions may be difficult. Time constraints could force researchers to gather data more quickly, use fewer data, or only partially explore challenging research subjects. Research efforts might also be hampered by financial constraints. For the research's different components, such as data gathering, participant recruiting &evaluation, adequate financing is required. Lack of funding may make it difficult to get the necessary equipment, engage capable scholars, or carry out extensive studies. To overcome these constraints, investigators can look into alternate approaches, including using already-existing databases or working with organizations to pool assets and lower expenses. The finances and time that are accessible can also be used to their fullest with proper preparation and the prioritization of study goals.

3.9 Reliability and Validity

Making sure the findings are reliable and valid is essential when undertaking studies regarding the usage of Internet advertising in participatory events. Validation is the degree to which the study's results are accurate and true, whereas reliability represents the degree to which they are stable and consistent.

When researching developments in internet advertising, originality is crucial. Assure that the information gathered and analyzed appropriately reflects the situation that would occur in the world of reality. By utilizing trustworthy and respectable data sources like actual event documents or reports from the industry, investigators can work towards validity (Naveed 2020). The results of studies have a greater probability to be accurate when real data is used in their analysis.

Understanding digital advertising is important because it is a quickly growing subject, thus the latest component is equally important. It's crucial to use current data and sources to improve the study's validity and dependability.
