How to Use Guerrilla Marketing to Your Advantage
23 August 2021
In this day and age, people all over the world are doing their absolute most to avoid adverts. It’s very difficult to get people to listen to the five-minute-long adverts in between your music on Spotify or be interrupted in the middle of watching The Chase with adverts about toilet roll.
There has to be a way to make marketing noticeable without being an unwanted inconvenience. This is where Guerrilla Marketing comes in. This is a modern way to immerse your audience within the experience and create much more effective results than a picture on a billboard.
So, what is Guerrilla Marketing?
Guerrilla marketing plays on the mind of your audience, using the element of surprise, ensuring that it is unexpected. If your advert is in a public space, something out of the ordinary and relevant to your audience – It’s Guerrilla Marketing.
A great example is in the centre of New York, Bounty (a kitchen roll company) planted a giant spilled coffee cup on the corner of a road with a sign reading ‘Makes small work of big spills.’ Followed by their logo.
With the intent to make people interested, Bounty demonstrated an everyday problem and provided a solution in the middle of one of the busiest cities in the world.

Interactivity is a key feature in Guerrilla marketing. Providing people with a chance to experience the quality of your business instantly creates the trust factor in their minds. Interactive screens or games are a great example of using technology to promote your company.

How is Marketing for our company useful at our own event?
Many people may think that marketing during your own event is less effective since everyone at the event is already knowledgeable about the company. Although this is probably true, technology nowadays is in the forefront of people’s minds. This means that if you advertise something worth posting, then attendees will advertise for you, sharing with their following on social media.
