Shock marketing is a strategy that uses deliberately shocking or controversial content to attract attention and create a strong emotional impact. Its effectiveness stems from:

Breaking through ad saturation with unexpected content

Increasing recall rates due to emotional shock

Organic spread via user engagement

Technical warning:

Risk of the Boomerang Effect if it crosses cultural boundaries

May damage long-term reputation despite short-term effectiveness

Requires careful audience analysis before implementation

Modern algorithms may automatically reduce the reach of shocking content, increasing campaign costs.
