Guerrilla marketing FAQ

What does a guerrilla marketing agency do?

A guerrilla marketing agency takes your brand to people in everyday places instead of waiting for them to find it. For food and beverage brands, that means street team sampling on busy sidewalks, in parks and on campuses. Front & Center Marketing keeps it friendly and positive, with friendly teams who start real conversations.

What is the difference between a street team and guerrilla marketing?

A street team is the people: brand ambassadors out in your market. Guerrilla marketing is the approach: meeting people where they already are, without a booth or a stage. At Front & Center Marketing, they work together. Our street teams run friendly guerrilla sampling programs for CPG brands.

Do you run guerrilla marketing in Los Angeles and other cities?

Yes. Los Angeles is close to home, thanks to our Santa Monica office, and we bring street teams to cities nationwide. Tell us your markets and dates, and we'll plan a program around the places your customers spend their time.

Is guerrilla marketing a good fit for food and beverage brands?

Yes. Food and drinks are made to be tasted, and a quick sample from a friendly person is a great way to win a new fan. Street team sampling works well for launches, new flavors and building buzz in a priority city before a bigger push.

How much does guerrilla marketing cost?

Every street team program is custom-quoted, based on your cities, dates and product. Tell us your goals, and we'll send a quote.
