Dark Posting is a sneaky yet strategic tool that lets brands and creators run super-targeted ads without cluttering their main feed. It’s all about showing the right content to the right audience, minus the spammy vibes.

What Is Dark Posting?

Dark Posting refers to paid social media ads that don’t appear on a brand’s or creator’s public feed. Instead, they’re shown exclusively to specific audience segments based on targeting criteria like interests, demographics, or past interactions.

These ads can be:

• Unpublished Posts: Ads that never make it to the main profile or feed.
• Highly Targeted Content: Designed to appeal to specific groups without messing up the general aesthetic of the feed.
• Flexible Testing Tools: Allows brands to test various creatives, captions, or CTAs without overloading their organic audience.

When to Use Dark Posting

Dark Posting is your go-to strategy when you want to:

• Test new ad concepts before launching them full-scale.
• Target hyper-specific audiences for special promotions or offers.
• Experiment with different messaging and visuals without impacting your main feed’s look.
