Sumario:Mobile phone has become an integral tool for marketing and advertising. For advertisers to use it successfully to advertise they need to understand the behavior response of consumers toward it. Sequel to the above, the objective of this study is to examine the direct impact of mobile advertising value and attitude on the behavior response of Nigerian youths to mobile advertising. Equally, the study will also ascertain the moderating effects of culture on the relationships of value, attitude, and behavior response of Nigerian youth to mobile advertising. The study is an explanatory research and adopted the quantitative approach of data collection and analysis. Primary data from 296 Nigerian youths in selected tertiary institutions were analyzed using Smart PLS 3. Findings showed that both mobile advertising value and attitude toward mobile advertising have significant impacts on the behavior response of Nigerian youths to mobile advertising. Regarding, the moderating effect, culture moderated between attitude and behavior response, however it did not moderate between mobile advertising value and behavior response toward mobile advertising. A managerial implication from this is that advertisers should send valuable mobile advertising messages which are rich in cultural elements. That will help in eliciting favorable responses from the consumers toward it which can eventually translate to increment in product purchase thereby leading to adequate return on investment.
