What if marketing could be as surprising and impactful as guerrilla warfare?

In this episode of The Reality of Business, Bob – an enthusiast of military history – and Jeremy share insights into the art of ambushes and raids, translating these military principles into creative marketing campaigns that surprise and engage audiences in unexpected ways.

They revisit the revolutionary ideas of J. Conrad Levinson, the visionary of guerrilla marketing in the 1980s, whose concepts revolutionised the advertising industry. Think of iconic campaigns like the Marlborough Man for Marlboro cigarettes and Tony the Tiger for Kellogg’s Frosties – they’re proof of how unconventional tactics can leave a lasting impact.
Fast forward to today, where bold ideas drive the digital landscape. Remember the BBC's Dracula campaign or 3M’s security glass challenge? These viral campaigns didn’t just grab attention; they showcased the immense potential of guerrilla marketing. In this episode, we’ll also explore lessons from The Drum (publisher for the marketing and media industries), the role of soundtracks in branding, and the Fearless Girl/Wall Street Bull stunt in New York that sparked powerful conversations about gender diversity.

Whether you're a seasoned marketer or simply fascinated by unconventional strategies, this episode is packed with insights to inspire your next unforgettable campaign.
