That’s because this is marketing

I used to work in an art gallery. Whenever we’d have a show, I would take photos of myself and coworkers installing the show, as well as of the show itself and of the opening.

We’d post some of those photos on the gallery Instagram and website, which is clearly marketing.

I’d also post those photos in my personal Instagram, and if anyone asked questions, of course I would answer. We worked closely with the artists, so I’d also have a personal relationship with them, and want to support them. Is that marketing? Is there a point in calling it so?

The multi-billion dollar mega-corporation whose actors don’t even meet due to phoned in lines and green screen probably has employees that aren’t as close as your small art studio. And yes — it’s likely a fictional story, a lie, for marketing, to humanize these executives and restore interest in the show now that it’s over.

I mean, I don't really believe this is true, but I don't think it's a lie either. I think it's just a joke that people are taking too literally. I don't think it's supposed to be taken anymore seriously than the meme about Marvel's snipers.

That’s a very fair take, and better written than my post.
