In his ongoing pursuit of branding and marketing expertise, Ryan tackles a hairy topic: guerrilla marketing, aka experience, experiential, or engagement marketing. He reads a few chapters in some books on experiential marketing, but soon ditches those to explore the best-of on YouTube: flash mobs, punny pranks, and travel stunts.
Ryan then embarks on a short journey to Los Angeles, to explore the roots of guerrilla marketing—graffiti—and to meet with BeCore (after some chicken and waffles, of course) one of the leading experiential marketing agencies in the country who specialize in building branded experiences for our most beloved brands (think Nike, RedBull, and MTV). They share their expertise with Ryan, teaching him about their process, how they measure success, and the biggest questions brands should be asking before they do their own experiential campaign.
Finally, Ryan finds out what it’s like to do his own experiential marketing experiment- when he puts on a gorilla suit and takes to the city with a hoverboard and a little red wagon.
