💰 Is Trolling the New Marketing Angle for Big Corporations?
Once upon a time, brands spoke like buttoned-up professionals.
These days? They’re throwing shade, cracking jokes, and sometimes acting more like your sarcastic friend than a Fortune 500 company.
Wendy’s practically wrote the playbook. Their Twitter roasts - like clowning McDonald’s for always having broken ice cream machines - went viral and won them a cult following.
Other companies have joined the fun too, leaning into witty replies and playful digs to grab attention.
Why does it work? Because it feels human.
People would rather laugh at a clever comeback than scroll past another generic ad.
It makes brands seem approachable, shareable, and just a little unpredictable.
Of course, it’s not without risk. One joke too far can spark backlash instead of loyalty.
But when it lands, trolling can turn an ordinary brand into the main character of the internet for a day.
So is trolling the future of marketing? Maybe not forever, but right now it’s one of the fastest ways to stand out in a crowded feed.
