君子坦荡荡,小人长戚戚

jūnzǐ tǎndàng dàng, xiǎo rén zhǎng qī qī

A gentleman is frank and honest, but a villain is long and sympathetic (jūn zǐ tǎn dàng dàng, xiǎo rén cháng qī qī)

Confucius

This Chinese proverb emphasizes the importance of honesty, integrity, and transparency in one's actions. As a SEA professional, it is important to maintain a high level of transparency in your online advertising campaigns. This means being open and honest about your products or services, providing accurate and relevant information to your consumers, and avoiding the use of misleading or false claims in your advertising.

In the modern digital landscape, online trust and reputation are essential for success. If consumers feel misled or deceived by your advertising, they are less likely to engage with your content, and may even speak negatively about your brand to others. Conversely, if you present your brand and products honestly and transparently, you can build a good reputation, earn the trust of your customers, and establish a solid foundation for long-term success. Therefore, the proverb reminds SEA professionals to conduct themselves with integrity and be honest in their online advertising practices.
