WORDS TO DESCRIBE GUERRILLA MARKETING: Unauthorized, disruptive, sticky, and often leaves a long lasting impression on its viewers.
WHERE IT LANDS IN THE MARKETING MIX: Of earned, owned, and paid media options, this falls squarely in the EARNED portion (both traditional and social)

B2B vs. B2C
Due to its inherent nature, guerrilla marketing is traditionally used for B2C products.
However, in some cases B2B brands have seen success. One way to ensure success is to target specific events where there is a high density of desired decisions makers.

5 Steps to Effective Guerilla Marketing
Step 1 - Determine the core objective of your advertising campaign. • Purchase something, support a cause, redefine behavior, etc.
Step 2 - Identify your target demographic. • Consider gender, age, ethnicity, education, occupation, residence, religion, social
status, etc.
Step 3 - Make a list of images and ideas associated with the concept you plan to pitch. • Think of things that would grab attention and might not normally be associated
with what you are trying to promote.
Step 4 - Experiment with alternative concepts/scenarios to convey your concept.
Step 5 - Identify outlets to pitch your message. • Could be installations, email blasts, classified ads, letters, unique signage, blogs,
social media, etc.

IN SUMMARY• Effective guerrilla marketing usually has 3 things in common: Low budget; high
exposure, originality.
• B2C is the most effective audience but B2B can have success
• Guerrilla marketing falls under EARNED in the marketing mix
• Guerrilla marketing is often “unauthorized, and disruptive” and “sticky.” – Brett Zaccardi
• It is done in the streets or other public places with extremely high traffic

Isn't achieving guerrilla marketing success just as hard as making
something go "viral"? How can we help make sure our guerrilla
campaign has success?

Different Tactics of Guerrilla Marketing
• Ambient• Ambush• Stealth• Viral• Street
*Some times these are classified as separate channels but for this presentation we have bundled them into a group.
29
Ambient Communication
Ambient communication is a complex form of corporate communication that uses elements of the environment, including nearly every available physical surface, to convey messages that elicit customer engagement.[5] It is a compile of intelligence, flexibility and effective use of the atmosphere.
• Street
30
Ambush Marketing
Ambush marketing is a form of associative marketing, utilized by an organization to capitalize upon the awareness, attention, goodwill, and other benefits, generated by having an association with an event or property, without that organization having an official or direct connection to that event or property
31
Stealth Marketing
Stealth marketing is a deliberate act of entering, operating in, or exiting a market in a furtive, secretive or imperceptible manner, or an attempt to do so.[7] People get involved with the product without them actually knowing that they are the part of advertisement campaign. This needs to be done very carefully because if the participants are made aware of the campaign, it will have a negative effect on the brand.
32
Viral Marketing
Viral marketing describes any strategy that encourages individuals to pass on a marketing message to others, creating the potential for exponential growth in the message’s exposure and influence. Like viruses, such strategies take advantage of rapid multiplication to explode the message to thousands, to millions. Off the Internet, viral marketing has been referred to as “word-of-mouth,” “creating a buzz,” “leveraging the media,” “network marketing.” But on the Internet, for better or worse, it’s called “viral marketing.”[8]
33
Street Marketing
According to Marcel Saucet and Bernard Cova,[9] Street Marketing™ can be used as a general term encompassing six principal types of activities:
• Distribution of flyers or products. • Product animations. • Human animations• Road shows. • Uncovered actions• Event actions
• Flash mobs.
