In brief: Guerilla marketing uses an unusual execution, place or moment to gain attention with a limited media budget. The idea must respect the space, people, rights and brand reputation.
How I use Guerilla marketing in practice
I use Guerilla marketing as part of coherent communication. The same promise must make sense in advertising, on the website, in a sales call and after purchase. I prepare variants around the audience’s question while keeping facts, tone and visual recognisability consistent. I feed people’s responses into the next version.
What to watch out for
One-off visibility is easy to overvalue. Guerilla marketing needs a connection to a long-term offer and a way to capture a relevant response. If the team watches only reach or media equivalent, it may miss the real business impact.
Questions for a decision
- Whom exactly does the message help, and in what situation?
- What single meaning should the person take away?
- Which evidence carries the main promise?
- How will we capture a quality response and what follows?
