Guerrilla Advertising - Unconventional Brand Communication

The advertising industry is in a state of flux. In an age where we can choose what media we consume, the traditional channels of TV, press and poster are no longer always the most appropriate for a brand to reach its target audience. As a result, global brands are opting to implement ever more inventive and original schemes to get their products talked about. Microsoft covered Manhattan in butterfly stickers, Volkswagen made a Polo out of ice and parked it on a London street, and Adidas suspended two footballers high above the streets of Tokyo for a death-defying kickabout. Guerrilla Advertising shows the best international examples of the varied and inventive tactics that are being used today by big-name brands, non-profit organizations and individuals to promote themselves, their ideas and their products. 68 international campaigns are featured, grouped according to their approach : Street Propaganda, Site-Specific Media, Sneaky Manoeuvres, Stunts and Multi-Fronted Attack.
