Guerrilla Marketing by Gold Toe

An innovative and unconventional marketing strategy, guerrilla marketing uses unconventional tactics to gain exposure for a product or brand.

   With the right execution, it can be used to generate buzz, build brand awareness, and even tell stories without putting a ton of money into paid ads, Out of Home ads, or print ads. You can maximize the impact of your event by capturing the public’s attention at little to no cost.

Furthermore, your company can generate user-generated content in the short term and word-of-mouth marketing in the long term.
