25.
Guerilla Marketing ‣ Define your target market (demographics, region, socioeconomic level, etc.) ‣ Research events, conferences, public gatherings ‣ Build for virality. Guerilla 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
