Street Marketing Example: the funniest case histories

We already talked about Guerrilla Marketing and its potential as “unconventional” communication strategy. The Guerrilla in fact is attracting more and more Marketing divisions of the big brands for two reasons: it is low-cost tool and it has a high viral potential. Almost always, in fact, the Guerrilla projects are carried out in the street or in public places: however, this can be counted in the broader field of Street Marketing.

First, you need an simple but innovative idea: we all see, in advertising, when appears the alert “In this spot there are only trained professionals. Do not try to do it at home”. So, it is the same here: with the consuling of a professional agency, you can make the winning design for the product or the target audience. In fact, it is very important to use professioanl profiles with experience in order to achieve, in a short time, the desired result. Here the examples of street marketing most interesting.
