What is Guerrilla Marketing?

   Guerrilla marketing is a form of advertising when a business employs unexpected and/or outlandish interactions to market a commodity or service. It is a form of public relations. Guerrilla Marketing, a 1984 book by Jay Conrad Levinson, is credited with popularising the phrase.      Guerrilla marketing employs a variety of strategies and tactics to make direct contact with potential clients.

The ultimate goal of marketing is to get people to remember items or brands in a way that differs from how they may be used to remembering them. One of the objectives of this engagement is to elicit an emotional response in the clients.
