What Is Guerrilla Marketing?
Guerrilla marketing is a type of marketing that aims to obtain maximum brand exposure using as few means as possible to convey a message in unconventional ways.
The term “guerrilla marketing” originated because guerrilla warfare is based on a similar combination of surprise and resourcefulness. For example, a typical guerrilla tactic involved using cheap materials such as barbed wire or sharp scraps of metal to stop expensive military vehicles.
Similarly, guerrilla marketing is designed to help businesses to punch above their weight by using common elements in imaginative or unexpected ways.
