Campaign Design

Guerrilla Marketing is a strategy that focuses on low-cost unconventional marketing tactics that yield maximum results.   The term guerrilla marketing was inspired by guerrilla warfare, which is a form of irregular warfare and relates to the small tactic strategies used by armed civilians.  This alternative marketing style relies heavily on alternative tactics that are high energy and imaginative to take viewers by surprise, make an unforgettable impression and raise the volume among the social buzz.   Guerrilla Marketing is a good match with our grassroots campaign to reach a large audience without the huge budget.

 

Campaign Audience

This Guerrilla Marketing approach encourages African American/Black and Asian American youth to be physically active everyday.   The Campaign combines both earned media, and other unconventional, surprising tactics, and partnership efforts to reach the distinct audiences, with a special focus on African American/Black and Asian American youth at North Minneapolis.
