Guerrilla Marketing Volume 1

Guerrilla Marketers are unique, and they know it and promote it. Therefore, Jason Myers and Merrilee Kimble had to ask themselves: “How can we make this book unique?” After all, Guerrilla Marketing, since the original Guerrilla Marketing book was introduced by Jay Conrad Levinson in 1984, has supported and empowered entrepreneurs, small and medium sized businesses, solopreneurs, and people with ideas that they think can be a business. Where does it all begin? That’s a simple answer: with a strong foundation of Guerrilla Marketing. Jason and Merrilee spend the first section reviewing the strong foundational elements of Guerrilla Marketing and spend the remaining sections of Guerrilla Marketing sharing today’s Guerrilla Marketing tactics, tools, and tips. These are the Guerrilla Marketing resources that every business needs to succeed and generate profits. They also offer a FREE companion course to help entrepreneurs continue to build their rock-solid Guerrilla Marketing foundation. In the companion course, Jason and Merrilee dive deeper with video tutorials, exercises, and the tools entrepreneurs need to build that crucial foundation from which their Guerrilla Marketing success will be born. Guerrilla Marketing also contains 70+ free online tools for small businesses. Jason and Merrilee are continuing Jay Conrad Levison’s unconventional system of marketing. By understanding not only what marketing is but why it works, they give small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) the opportunity to think and grow big. When the power of one’s SMB is understood and what they can do with Guerrilla Marketing, it not only levels the playing field with competition, but it also tilts the playing field to their advantage.

At a time when millions of small businesses are flourishing, here is the optimum plan of attack for businesses that want to cash in on the high profits and low costs of guerrilla marketing.

2015 Susanne K. Langer Award for Outstanding Scholarship, Media Ecology Association 2013 Book of the Year, Visual Communication Division, National Communication Association Amidst the profound upheavals in technology, economics, and culture that mark the contemporary moment, marketing strategies have multiplied, as brand messages creep ever deeper into our private lives. In Your Ad Here, an engaging and timely new book, Michael Serazio investigates the rise of “guerrilla marketing” as a way of understanding increasingly covert and interactive flows of commercial persuasion. Digging through a decade of trade press coverage and interviewing dozens of agency CEOs, brand managers, and creative directors, Serazio illuminates a diverse and fascinating set of campaign examples: from the America’s Army video game to Pabst Blue Ribbon’s “hipster hijack,” from buzz agent bloggers and tweeters to The Dark Knight’s “Why So Serious?” social labyrinth. Blending rigorous analysis with eye-opening reporting and lively prose, Your Ad Here reveals the changing ways that commercial culture is produced today. Serazio goes behind-the-scenes with symbolic creators to appreciate the professional logic informing their work, while giving readers a glimpse into this new breed of “hidden persuaders” optimized for 21st-century media content, social patterns, and digital platforms. Ultimately, this new form of marketing adds up to a subtle, sophisticated orchestration of consumer conduct and heralds a world of advertising that pretends to have nothing to sell.

American business is in the midst of cataclysmic change. Corporate downsizing is increasing, causing disillusioned employees to establish home-based businesses. Using case studies, anecdotes, illustrations, and examples, the authors present their time-tested arsenal of tools most effective for this new, smaller startup.
