All around the world, businesses both big and small are looking to guerrilla marketing agencies to help market their next big product or service. It’s becoming increasingly harder to capture the attention of potential consumers, so it makes sense that these companies are looking towards guerrilla marketing to help rekindle their love for unconventional marketing strategy.

The advertising and marketing industry has been quickly turning towards online and mobile. In a recent 2012 study by hubspot, smartphone users will reach over 106.7 million, 2/3 of web users will use social networks and online buyers will reach 154.6 million.

This means that there is a huge opportunity for guerrilla marketing agencies to do some street activation and low cost marketing campaigns by taking to the streets or by using online. Below is my top 10 list of guerrilla marketing agencies to keep and eye on for this year.

1. Tool

Is it a company? Is it a group of creative directors? What ever it is, they are awesome! Tool’s diverse roster of unique talent creates unforgettable commercial and digital content across all platforms. They most recently picked up a Webby in the Online Guerrilla & Innovation category for their ‘Take This Lollipop‘ viral Facebook application.

Just in time for Halloween, this haunting, live-action, Facebook Connect driven site dares people to “Take This Lollipop.” And with permission from a Facebook user, Take This Lollipop trolls through their photos, friend lists, news feeds and other personal information. The site then plugs the data into a web video starring a sweaty, disheveled degenerate looking at your personal information. With over 60 million visits and 10 million Facebook “likes” from around the world in thirty days, it’s now the most successful Facebook app of all time.

2. BBDO Toronto

Viral marketing? You got it! BBDO Toronto created a wonderfully funny viral video for skittles back in 2011 that got over 6 million views on Youtube. It definitely helped that it reached the front page of reddit. Did anyone keep their finger on the skittle?

3. Tribeca

Tribeca is a brand experience and social media marketing agency based in France. They also tasted the guerrilla marketing kool-aid. They’ve done some amazing unconventional marketing campaigns for some big brands such as K-Swiss, Sony and Google.

4. Space150

Although Space150 is more of a digital agency than a true guerrilla marketing agency, we felt it necessary to list them. Their recent work for major fashion brand, Forever 21, was truly a show stopper.

Forever 21 launched a new flagship store in Times Square in New York City and wanted to make a huge impact with an interactive billboard. The agency turned towards augmented reality to make the billboard interact with the crowd. Models in the billboard would pick up individuals or snap photos. The campaign was so successful that the city requested the billboard camera be shifted so that the crowd wouldn’t clog up the streets. The campaign was also the People’s Voice Winner for a Webby Award.

The Results

• One Show Interactive – Silver
• 10-minute average view time
• 3,000+ tweets
• 91,932 Facebook interactions
• 470,000 in-links (reposts)
• 364,000 daily visitors
• 960 blog postings

6. Alt Terrain

Adam Salacuse’s company ALT TERRAIN serves advertising, public relations, media planning and event marketing agencies as the industry’s premier resource for Alternative Outdoor Advertising, Street Media Campaigns, and Influencer Marketing. ALT TERRAIN is dedicated to creating nontraditional media that truly connects with people and makes an impact on their lives. Through ALT TERRAIN, he has contributed to the rise of world-class brands such as Microsoft, Disney, Motorola, EA Games, Converse and VH1.

Check out Adam’s exclusive interview with us here.

7. Saatchi & Saatchi Stockholm

Saatchi and Saatchi is a very large advertising agency that also does some creative unconventional marketing such as the recent ‘Ariel Fashion Shoot’ campaign.

Laundry only really engages people when you get a stain on something you care about, like your favorite designer clothes. Consumers generally don’t believe there’s any major difference between the leading detergent brands. So how do we prove to them that Ariel Actilift is exceptional at removing tough stains, without boring them to death along the way?

Saatchi & Saatchi turned the most boring part of a classic detergent TVC – the product demo – into a live online and offline gaming experience where people could win the clothes they stained.

During six days anyone living in Scandinavia had the chance to get in line and control our customized industrial robot via Facebook and try to squirt real lingonberry jam, drinking chocolate and ketchup on over 1000 pieces of clothing passing by at high speed. The clothes included designer wear from See by Chloé, Vivienne Westwood and Hugo Boss amongst others.

To make the campaign as transparent as possible, they placed the robot in the middle of Stockholm Central Station. The rules were simple: aim, stain and win. When anyone managed to stain a garment we washed it live with Ariel Actilift and sent it home to them.

The campaign was quite successful in that they got over 1.2 million visitors to Stockholm Central Station to experience the Ariel Fashion Shoot over six days. Over 25,000 liked the Ariel Facebook Pages in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland and participated in the online event.

Over 1,000 winners successfully stained clothes ranging from high-end designers to basic wear. These were washed live with Ariel Actilift and sent to the winners.

Brought and earned media equalled 5 million media impressions, 20 % of Scandinavia’s entire population.

They reached 35 % of our target group in half the time it would’ve taken with a heavy rotation TVC campaign.

Amsterdam water supplier Waternet wanted to discourage people from urinating in the city’s canals during national holiday Queen’s Day in April. In order to discourage people from urinating in the canals, Waternet hired agency Achtung! to do a little campaign that people would be very eager to try.

They created several brightly colored urinals that would be very hard to miss. The urinal contained 4 stalls that were connected to a digital screen that turned peeing into a race. Each stall measured the amount of of urine and then displayed the amount on a digital screen to see who would get to the finish line first.

Not only did the campaign encourage people to use the urinal, but it also encouraged them to use it quickly! Other than beating your friends, there was an additional incentive; whoever had the most impressive pee would win their water taxes back.

Sounds like a win/win situation! What do you think of this campaign?

Have you done this before? Draw an image of a cartoon character on several pages of your notebook. Then quickly flip the pages to create the illusion that the character you drew is moving?

It is actually the same process used by old Disney cartoons. That’s how they were able to create 2D animated movies. That is the same process used by Quechua when they created the very first TV commercial.

About Quechua and the Campaign

Quechua creates eco-friends apparel, accessories and gears for mountain hiking. They are well distributed in Europe.

The intention of the campaign is to set the brand apart from other outdoor recreational activities brand by presenting their ad in a new way.

The Facebook timeline is one “device” that is yet to be used by any brand for their campaign.

The Details

They posted over 300 photos. Each photos shows the successive movement of a man moving through the mountains. Like the old cartoon trick, flipping through the photos will create an illusion that the man in the photo is moving.
To achieve the “movement”, you need to scroll down first for the photos to load. Once you are at the bottom, you need to press shift + space for the page to scroll up. Sit back and enjoy it.

The Brilliance

It’s a great idea. They are tapping something new, something simple, and affordable. It’s innovative but not expensive. It’s a client’s ideal campaign.

The photography will make you want to grab you backpack and hike.

More importantly, it captures the tonality of the brand. They are an outdoor. People would expect something rough but Quechua is the total opposite. They are all about the peace nature brings.

It’s easy for the viewer. You don’t need any special skill to see it. You also don’t need to download anything. Everything is right there on the brand’s timeline.

The Issues

I hardly have enough energy and time to go through the timeline of my bestfriend’s page, for me to scroll 300 images for a brand may turn off some people. Given that facebook timeline also stops loading the page after a couple of image, it means extra work for the viewer because they will need to click SEE MORE RECENT STORIES to complete loading the photos.

Then there are other technical glitches. Pressing Shift + Space will not always scroll the images up automatically. Sometimes, it gets stuck in one image and you have to press it again for it to move.

When it does scroll, it could also do so too fast and it does not center the image on the monitor which completely destroys the experience.

I also couldn’t hear the beautiful soundtrack.

Several of my friends told me the same issues so I know I am not an isolated case.

Recommendations

It’s still a brilliant campaign and it is still worth checking out just cause. After all, this is officially the first time Timeline has been used for a campaign. I am sure that many other brands will come up with other strategies. When that happens, it would be nice to have some idea on how all those began.

The Creative Director of Eness goes, “Oh, that’s easy. Let’s color a mountain.”

That’s Exactly What They Did

Using a snow mapping software, Inhabitant and Eness colored the Mt. Naeba in Japan. They also created colourful patterns that interact with the snowboarders when they fly, land and slide down the ramp. Audience were also given an iPhone app that allows them to interact with the visuals.

This is supposedly the brands second year but the day before they were to stage their first show last year, earthquake struck. They cancelled the show but not the vision.

Extreme for Extreme

The show is so exciting that it makes you want to scream to the top of your lungs, “That’s how you freakin’ do branding. That. Is. How. You. Do. It”. It is so consistent and relevant to the brand. Inhabitant has always pride itself for taking their designs and quality to the extreme. They support extreme sports [like snowboarding] and market their products the extreme way [like coloring a mountain].

But We Can’t See The Clothes

I always argue that fashion shows are more about branding that a live catalogue. I quickly realized that after I saw how weird the make ups are and how unrealistic the body of the models are. This is no different. Sure, the clothes that Inhabitant is selling can hardly be seen with the images projecting on the mountain and on the snowboarders.

The point is establishing what the brand is all about. They are fearless, bold, and, well, extreme. They don’t do anything half-baked. When they do something, they will either set the standards for the whole industry or stay home.

It’s been a while since I watched a movie that made me feel like I want to jump into the movie screen and join in the action. I first felt it when I watched Star Wars. I literally wanted to help Obi Wan Kenobe and Luke Skywalker fight the bad guys.

I felt that again in Avengers. I was imagining what my costume would be like when I stand with them in that glorious circle. That’s all that will ever be, of course… an imagination.

What I can do now, however, is download an augmented reality app that will give me the next best thing, a chance to get the characters to fight in a video game. The app also allows me to take pictures with them beside me.

Is It Cool?

The idea of allowing the fans to interact with the heroes is good. Tactical promotions 101 would usually discourage asking consumers to go through a multi-step process before allowing them to collect their gratification.

Obviously, technologies like AR and mobile games have trained consumers to go through several steps. It provides several benefits to the brand or product including stretching the amount of time a consumer spends with the product.

What Is The ‘But’?

Neither the idea nor the execution is ground breaking. AR has been used by many brands and products for promotion. The least I was expecting is a new experience or a fresh take on the promo.

When I downloaded the app, I thought that if I go to Walmart, point my phone on a poster, The Avengers will appear around me or something exciting like that. I was expecting something that would transport me more to the film instead of making me a spectator yet again.

Then There Are Glitches

I got a lot of questions from friends who weren’t sure if their phone supports the app. Several others said they weren’t able to make it work. A few even claimed they app made their phones restart.

These are minor problems. Most likely, these are concerns of consumers that are just lazy to “research” but any marketing person would know that any kind of promotion should clear enough for an 8-year old to understand.

What better way to promote a new album single than to introduce it to the club scene on a popular night? That’s just what Waxdolls did to promote their new single, Brain Pop.

Their strategy? Gain a crowd, create a dance-off and gain some new listeners. This campaign definitely left onlookers wondering, “What was the name of that one song that played during the dance-off?”

What do you think of this guerrilla style dance-off campaign? Let us know by commenting below!

The video was shot on April 21st, 2012 at Club Charlatan in Ghent, Belgium.

What is Guerrilla Marketing?

Guerilla marketing is to come up with a marketing and promotional campaign that is creative, original, affordable and most importantly east to carry out. it is done with an intent to promise your existing customers as well as prospects only what you can provide but also giving them something more than what you committed originally to them. If all of this goes well, you will be able to drive more and more customers to your business which will eventually lead you to have increased sales and grow your brand easily.

Top 5 Excellent Ways to Increase Sales With Guerrilla Marketing

If you are considering putting together an impressive and striking guerrilla marketing campaign, following are some of the vital tips that you need to be aware of. Follow them properly and you will be able to accomplish great impact.

1) Determine Your Target Market

First and foremost, you are required to know who your target market is. As a matter of fact, every single marketing or promotional campaign initiates with this information. You are required to identify who your targeted audience is so that you know what their preferences and needs are and you provide them with the required items or services. You can not simply create any marketing material you consider and blame the particular item in the end if the campaign does not turn out to be successful. For instance, if you do poster printing or business cards, you need to figure out what really attracts your customers so that you can come up with such designs that are appropriate as per their needs.

2) Find Answers To Vital Questions

It would be good on your part if you have been able to find answers to the vital questions to make sure that your campaign is effective:

• How your services or products will help your customers?
• What are the greatest desires or requirements of your customers?
• What helps them make the decision?
• How do they decide?

Finding answers to all of these questions will be helping you create a focused marketing strategy that will be encouraging people to take advantage of what you are offering them.

3) Additional Value

You need to make sure that the items or services you are offering are compelling for people to make an action all the time. Do not distribute items in the market that will not generate immediate action. If you will, you are simply going to waste your money but your time as well. It is important for you to include an appealing offer which would be helpful for you to motivate them to respond at once. Remember, the better the offer is, the better response you will get. You can have discounts, coupons or even freebies that would help you generate response immediately.

4) Get Your Brand Noticed

While you are considering guerrilla marketing, you are required to step up your campaign. You should not feel shy with your elevator speech or sales message. The focal point is to get your brand noticed right away so your marketing strategy would be effective.

5) Analyze in Terms of Results

If you have not been able to generate funds or increase sales via your initial campaign, it is time when you should switch your strategy. Look for something else that is relevant but requires less investment but would let cash flow into your business. This may require unconventional and unique tactics but they should not be anything against the norms. Guerilla marketing is not going to be a tough task for you, but you need to make sure that you are getting it all right. Once it does, you will be able to see a boost in your sales, eventually growing your brand.

Stride Gum claims to ‘be ridiculously long lasting’, so they decided to create a ridiculously long lasting web banner that would test the limits of a person’s ability to click a mouse and hold it in a certain area for as long as possible for a chance to win $500. It’s no ordinary challenge as the banner throws all sorts of random movements and distractions that try to make you fail.

The banner worked as intended as the World’s Longest Banner Ad had a record of over 67 minutes Could you imagine interacting with a web banner for over 46 minutes? Well, the campaign was so good that it just picked up a Webby Award for the campaign.

The results, a click-through rate that is currently at .9% (the industry standard is .07%). People even searched google to try to find the advertisement.

A great way to get a lot of buzz around your new product is to utilize local (or not so local) internet celebrities. Well that is just what the makers of the first-person shooter game, Call of Duty, did to promote their latest installment.

The game company contacted YouTube celebrity, FPSRussia to review the very latest in military technology, The Quadrocopter Machine Gun. FPSRussia has over 2.5 million subscribers and the video already has over 7 million views.

Of course this technology doesn’t actually exist, so at the end of the video he mentions that it just might be in the next Call of Duty game. What are your thoughts on this viral campaign?

The Intel 3D Ultrabook Projection Mapping Tour did their first projection mapping on April 28th and will be continuing the tour to more major cities in Germany.

This year, they are doing it bigger and better by doubling the locations of 2011 to a total of 8 German cities. Adding a twist to the conventional 3D projection mapping we step up a notch and the mappings will take place with their famous agency MMOV (Multi Media Offroad Vehicle). With visual performance by Markos Aristides Kern and music from Boris Dlugosch, each location promises to grant the public the ultimate audio visual live experience.

Founder and Creative Director of Visual Drugstore with over a decades worth of artistic experience, Kern is excited to yet again be back on tour with Intel and it’s new 2012 Ultrabook 3D campaign. Kern uses an unusual and unique world-wide vehicle for his performance: The Multi Media Offroad Vehicle. The MMOV makes it possible to map the front face of buildings live, in a mobile state. Together Kern and Boris Dlugosch develop a unique live audiovisual performance of the highest standards.

Since it is a relatively new platform, there aren’t too many campaigns being run on Pinterest. With that being said, we ENCOURAGE you to try something new and exciting! Below you will find 7 great examples of Pinterest marketing campaigns. Definitely let us know if you or your company have tried marketing on Pinterest and of the results by leaving a comment below!

Happy pinning!

1. Kotex’s Women’s Inspiration Day

Pinterest is a rather new social network that allows individuals to ‘pin’ images to a board. Much like an inspiration or mood board, this social network allows you to gather images around the web and also share it with others. Since it is a rather new social network, most major brands still don’t know what to make of it. Very few brands have really tapped into this up and coming social network.

Smoyz, an Israeli creative advertising agency, recently broke through the mold and introduced a creative way brands can use Pinterest. Smoyz did a Pinterest campaign for Kotex in which they found 50 “inspiring” women via Facebook accounts and searches through Pinterest. After selecting the lucky 50, the brand sent virtual gifts to each one of the individuals. If the recipient pinned the virtual gift, she would then get a real gift in the mail based on something she pinned.

100% of the women posted something about their gift, not only on Pinterest, but also on all the other major social networks. The initial campaign created a huge buzz on the social platforms: pinterest, facebook, twitter & instagram.

Total Kotex kits sent, 50. Total interactions, 2,284. Total Impressions, 694,853. Talk about results! What do you think of this Pinterest campaign?

2. Guess’s “Color Me Inspired” Pinterest Campaign

Fashion brand Guess challenged fans last month to create boards based on four spring colors: “Noir Teal,” “Hot House Orange,” “Red Hot Overdue” and “New Plum Light” for a chance to win a pair of color-coasted denim from GUESS’ spring collection. The contest ran for 7 days in which four lucky winners would be selected by style judges Michelle Koesnadi of Glisters and Blisters, Kristina Bazan of Kayture, Jennifer Rand of Belle de Couture, and Samantha Hutchinson of Could I Have That.

The contest ended and the winners were announced; however, the company will be running more exclusive Pinterest contests on the GUESS pinboard.

3. British Midland International’s “Pinterest Lottery”

BMI (British Midland International) launched what could be the first lottery campaign called the #bmipinterestlottery on social media site, Pinterest. Users had to “pin” up to six images from seven different travel designations on their Pinterest boards to share with their friends. All the photos has a number from 1 to 63. Each week, BMI chose a number at random and the users who had repinned the image with the associating number would be qualified for a chance to win a pair of free return flights to any BMI destination.

You can see the BMI Pinterest page here.

4. Peugeot’s Panama Puzzle

French car maker Peugeot’s Panama unit ran a contest that awarded fans who completed a Pinterest puzzle. The car company enticed users to create their own brand specific boards. Fans had to go to the Peugeot Facebook page or website to get the missing boards to complete the puzzle. The first five people to complete a board win a prize.

You can see their Pinterest board here.

5.  Procter & Gamble’s “Thank You Mum” Pinterest Campaign

Procter & Gamble’s Olympics tie-in strategy is to highlight the mothers of the athletes. The campaign itself was a huge flop as it didn’t get much interaction and the Pinterest board was eventually taken down.

6. Honda Pintermission

Car manufacturer, Honda, created a brilliant Pinterest campaign called #Pintermission. The brand gave out $500 to five of the most active pinners, asking them to take a fay off from the site and treat themselves to the things they’ve been pinning about.

The five winners received a Twitter @mention and $500. Honda asked the winners to share images from their short break on the Honda Pinterest page upon their return. Among the five winners, one travelled to London and another went to Hawaii. What a great way to encourage brand followers to enjoy life!

7. Sephora Color Wash

Since it seems that Pinterest’s main audience is female, Sephore, a cosmetics brand created a new competition called ‘Sephora Color Wash.’ The cosmetic brand encouraged users to create a new board titled ‘Sephora Color Wash’ in the Hair & Beauty category and pin the competition page on their board as well as five images featuring their favorite color for a chance to win one of ten $250 Sephora gift cards.

One of our favorite brands is at it again! Soft drink company, Coca-Cola, is back with ‘The Cheering Truck’. This time, Coca-Cola outfitted a special red truck with a recording booth and has been travelling around Argentina collecting the cheers of football (or soccer depending on where you are from) fans to support the Argentinean team. Fans are encouraged to record their cheer to be heard by millions.

The truck drove through 19 different provinces in Argentina as it collected the cheer of over a million different voices. On the day of the match, the Coca-Cola Cheering Truck drove into a stadium that only had room for 50 thousand fans and played the recordings of over a million fans chanting and cheering for the team. Way to rally the troop Coca-Cola!

Coca-cola has been doing some really creative marketing campaigns that have utilized a traveling truck concept (see The Happiness Truck). It’s their way of spreading happiness throughout the world…not to mention strengthening their brand! Genius!

User-Friendly Navigation

One of the biggest changes to Google+ lies in the new navigation scheme. So now rather the five buttons that were once featured at the top of the page, the navigation is handled by a new component known as the Navigation Ribbon. The Navigation Ribbon is essentially a sticky toolbar that allows you to rearrange the order of buttons for features such as hangouts, photos, or your actual profile itself. You can change the order of these buttons, and even hide the ones you rarely use. The Navigation Ribbon is Google’s way of giving users more control over their profile or page.

More Space, More Size

Another significant tweak to come out of the redesign is the addition of more real estate for presenting content. For instance, there is now a section that shows what’s trending on the right of the page, as well as a comprehensive view of the people who are sharing your updates and endorsing your content with a click of the +1 button. All this is in addition to the stream of updates from the users in your circles, which has been overhauled to make room for all the new features. On the size front, images and videos are optimized to be considerably larger than before, giving you the opportunity to draw more attention to your content.

Hangouts Goes Solo … Sort of

You know Google+’s video group chat feature Hangouts? Well, it now has its own dedicated page, which as we alluded to, you can now organize via the Navigation Ribbon if you’d like. From this page, you can view current video group chat session and decide to simply watch or join in the conversation. What’s really cool about the redesign as it relates to Hangouts is that you are not limited to communicating with friends. You can jump in any session you want. Google+ shows you a list of the most popular Hangouts as well as tips for getting the most out of the feature.

Conclusion

Google+ went live on June 28, 2011. The platform has enjoyed tremendous growth as it now has more than 170 million registered members. Despite its fast growth, some observers are questioning whether its future is in jeopardy. Is the recent redesign enough to re-engage the community and get them to care again? Only time will tell, but from the standpoints of presentation and functionality, the revamped Google+ is nothing short of impressive.
