Guerrilla Marketing
‣ Define your target market (demographics, region,
socioeconomic level, etc.)‣ Research events, conferences, public gatherings‣ Build for virality. Guerrilla is all about the post-event
PR.‣ Make sure you spend equal if not more time recording
(photo & video) the event and editing the video than
actually planning. Most people won’t see the campaign
in-person. Make the photos and video memorable.‣ Think completely out of the box
