You can have the best strategy and the best
building in the world, but if you don’t have the
hearts and minds of the people who work with
you, none of it comes to life.

Guerrilla & Grassroots?

Tried different things and HR is still not listening – change
your approach! Go guerrilla & grassroots!

Guerrilla marketing is unconventional and requires
outside the box thinking to create attention
Guerrilla marketing…
… is an advertisement strategy concept to promote
products or services in an unconventional way with little
budget to spend.
… involves high energy and imagination focusing on
grasping the attention of the public in more personal and
memorable level.

Grassroots campaigns are part of an overall guerrilla tactic
but focuses on the personal connection
Grassroots campaigns …
… aim to win customers over on an individual basis.
… is not about the dissemination of a marketing message
in the hope to reach possible consumers, but rather
highlights a personal connection between the consumer
and the brand and builds a lasting relationship with the
brand.

“If you can talk to them about themselves, you'll
have their full attention.”
― Jay Conrad Levinson, Guerrilla Marketing
