This study investigates the intricate interplay between social media marketing strategies and the success of cause-oriented campaigns. Focusing on the Lebanese context, the research examines how Audience Engagement, Content Strategy, and Influencer Collaboration impact the effectiveness of cause-oriented programs. A quantitative approach is employed, with data collected through an online survey distributed to over 100 respondents in Lebanon. The analysis employs regression analysis to explore the relationships between the predictors and the outcome variable. The findings underscore the pivotal role of Audience Engagement, well-crafted Content Strategies, and strategic collaboration with Influencers in driving the success of cause-oriented campaigns. While shedding light on these critical factors, the study also reveals the limitations and challenges associated with implementing such campaigns in the Lebanese context. The insights from this research contribute to a deeper understanding of the dynamics involved in leveraging social media marketing for cause-oriented initiatives, offering practical recommendations for practitioners in the field.
