“Dark Marketing, as sinister as sounds, is not that bad. It is a term used to refer to way of
marketing, brand building and advertising that is opposite to traditional, in-your-face kind
of ways.
Dark marketing is covert, secretive, and coy. It is in direct defiance of the traditional
advertising definition, which states that advertiser/ sponsor should be clearly identified.
According to Wired Magazine’s Jargon Watch, Dark Marketing is “Discreetly sponsored
online and real-world entertainment intended to reach hipster audiences that would
ordinarily shun corporate shilling”.
Marketers are now moving towards more covert techniques specially targeting the young
audience who dislike the blatant marketing communications”.
