antimarketing

Opposing commercial promotion

Antimarketing is a stance or strategy that deliberately avoids or subverts conventional promotional techniques.

A company practicing antimarketing might refuse to advertise, cultivate an image of not caring whether you buy, or mock the very idea of selling.

Paradoxically, antimarketing often functions as marketing itself—the rejection of hype becomes its own form of appeal: Their antimarketing approach made the brand seem more authentic.
