Extremist marketing messaging, which often involves fear, anger, or outrage, can be even more insidious. Such messages are designed to provoke strong emotional reactions to capture attention and drive engagement. While this can be effective in the short term, it has long-term psychological implications.
Fear-based marketing, for example, capitalizes on consumers’—and voters'—anxieties and insecurities. This type of messaging can be seen in campaigns that emphasize the dangers of not using a particular product or service, such as hygiene products or security systems. While fear can be a powerful motivator, chronic exposure to fear-inducing messages can lead to heightened anxiety and stress levels. Studies have shown that fear-based advertising can be effective initially but may lead to defensive avoidance, where consumers ignore the message altogether to protect their mental well-being.
Anger and outrage are other powerful tools used in extremist marketing. Political campaigns and media outlets frequently use these emotions to galvanize support and increase viewer engagement. However, constant exposure to anger-inducing content can lead to an increased sense of hostility and aggression. Research has found that media-induced anger can contribute to polarization and reduce individuals’ ability to engage in constructive dialogue and compromise.
“Political advertising ought to be stopped. It’s the only really dishonest kind of advertising that’s left. It’s totally dishonest.” – David Ogilvy, advertising guru
I disagree that “it’s the only really dishonest kind of advertising that’s left,” but that surely hits the nail on the head as far as political advertising’s ethics. Let's not forget that neuromarketing is a multibillion-dollar industry in which advertisers deliberately seek to impact certain brain areas to create the desired reactions.
