overmarketed
Too much advertising
Overmarketed describes something promoted so heavily that the marketing becomes counterproductive—creating fatigue, skepticism, or backlash among the target audience.
A product can be overmarketed when ads saturate every platform: The movie was so overmarketed that people were sick of it before it even opened.
The term implies diminishing returns from excessive promotion.
