I was just on an awesome website, because once again I was bored and decided to look up some of 'the most interesting advertisements ever' (that was what I typed into Google). One site lead to another and now I am looking at types of advertising that hits people deeper than most do, because they provoke emotions and feelings when someone just looks at it. I am going to include some photos of what I saw and I want to find out from people who agrees with this type of Guerilla marketing. I know this is an advertising class I am blogging for. To an extent though these are advertising products or suggesting a specific action should be taken.
Example 1: Red Cross
White square next to her says 'Know what to do'
Example 2: for the 'Death Proof' DVD
Example 3: Feeding the Hungry
All of these are startling ways to advertise or market a product, cause, etc. Some people probably think this is going to far. But is it? It provokes so much emotion and feel because unlike a print ad or commercial, it may be difficult to avoid or turn away from. These types are often found in larger cities, by companies who likely have a larger budget to work with. There is time and place for these and if seen at the right moment can provoke unspeakable reactions.
The child in the shopping cart is kind of creepy. It would definitely get my attention!
