We’ve seen brands say bae, but that’s only one horrifying facet of the Brands Unleashed revolution. A major part of corporate social media is the prolific, epidemic, and ineffective use of hashtags. The # is being abused by marketing teams that are desperate to reach a “young”, “hip,” “millennial” consumer.
Matter took to Instagram and found some of the most cringeworthy examples.
Trying to make #boothie happen:
The entire concept of #Snacketology:
#FrostyNose could also be about cocaine:
How high was the social media editor when they came up with #SplitsOnTrees?
This is the exact opposite of #beautiful:
Reject all #TacoBellPromposals:
Is #fall what God has in mind when he came up with seasons?
This would actually make for an incredibly un- #HappyMothersDay:
Somehow, this doesn’t give me #FOMO:
A #ChickenCorsage might be the only good thing about prom:
#The #lesson #learned #here #is #don’t #hashtag #lightly.
