Urban Dictionary Submission: “slagvertising”
slagvertising
noun
When brands use young social‑media influencers who promote products through highly attention‑seeking, self‑display‑heavy content — usually for a fraction of what traditional advertising used to cost.
It’s the modern marketing strategy where companies skip big ad agencies and instead send discount codes, free samples, or tiny payments to influencers who post provocative, algorithm‑baiting videos to push a product. Cheap for the brand, high‑visibility for the feed, and everywhere on TikTok and Instagram.
Example:
“Why is every fast‑fashion brand relying on slagvertising now? They just send a crop top to a 19‑year‑old and call it a campaign.”
Another example:
“Traditional modelling is dead — slagvertising took over the whole industry.”
Related: influencer marketing, micro‑promo, sponcon, thirst‑trap economy.
