What is Guerrilla Marketing?

Non traditional marketing designed for low

budgets and maximum impact

OR

It is an unconventional way of performing

marketing

activities intended to get maximum results

from

minimal resources.

How it started ?

It’s 1987. The scene at the club is hectic. The lights are flashing, the music is thumping, and The dance floor is full. Suddenly a gorgeous woman sidles up to the bar next to you and purrs “Buy me a drink?”

Since it’s the 1980s and you’re up for anything, you happily agree. It’s a little weird when the woman insists on a very specific brand of vodka…and then goes on and on about why she loves that particular brand of vodka. Before you know it, she slips back into the crowd and you’re left alone at the bar and a little confused but with a strange yen for the lady’s brand of vodka.

Dude guess what ? you’ve been guerrilla-d.
