Smart Marketing Knows When to Hold Back
Published on

This visual nails a key marketing truth: too much exposure can backfire. The image shows two candies—one unwrapped and crawling with ants, the other wrapped and untouched. The caption? “Oversharing attracts the wrong attention.” Boom.
Why It Works
- Creates instant emotional contrast (gross vs. clean).
- Uses metaphor to explain social media behavior.
- Makes people instantly connect “oversharing” with vulnerability.
- High visual clarity—no words needed to get the point.
Real-World Examples
- Luxury brands tease products before launch (Apple’s annual keynotes).
- Influencers share behind-the-scenes, not every detail (Emma Chamberlain).
- Wendy’s Twitter reveals personality but filters sensitive info carefully.
