GoMODELS – Street Teams Make Face Time and Create Buzz

Personal Interaction With Consumers is Priceless

Go MODELS from GoGORILLA Media are a great way to add a personal touch to your next marketing campaign. This is a great way to launch a new product or introduce a service. Street Teams will meet and greet the public and hand out samples of your product. These Brand Ambassadors are pleasant and professional and will be able to answer any questions regarding the product. GoMODELS are the prefect way to get your product directly into the hands of consumers through interactive guerrilla marketing.

How to Break Through the Advertising Clutter

Today’s consumers are hit with advertising messages all day long and most have learned how to tune it out. GoMODELS are a form of alternative advertising that uses street teams to interact with consumers right in the market place. Brand Ambassadors go to local malls and shopping districts to hand out product samples and talk with the people. It is a kind of guerilla marketing that reaches a huge number of shoppers without the hard sell. They are articulate and enthusiastic and convey a friendly attitude that promotes your product or service in a positive way.

Flash Mobs, Mock Protests and Fun Stunts Take Consumers By Surprise

GoGORILLA trains their GoMODELS to use interesting out of home advertising techniques that surprise shoppers. Some GoMODELS are actors who play specific characters as they bring drama and intrigue to a promotion. They may create a fake protest or a flash mob that suddenly attracts attention on a busy street or in a retail store. One example was a fake protest that was part of Travelocity’s guerilla marketing campaign to support its Gnome Mascot.

GoMODEL Campaigns on National Television

Many businesses like to use this type of alternative advertising to emphasize their message and create a buzz. These kinds of stunts tend to get picked up by traditional media outlets as well as go viral on the Internet. Sometimes GoGORILLA sends their performers and GoMODELS to television shows and they often are successful at getting on camera for product promotion.

Involving Consumers Creates Fun, Longlasting Memories

Other GoMODELS are performers who work to attract attention and are often used at events such as conventions to bring potential clients to a specific booth. They may use a wide range of out of home advertising methods and techniques to entice customers over including fun activities like juggling or card tricks. They also may wear costumes to attract attention. GoGORILLA also uses professionals in their street teams to promote a product or service. One example is free massages, given by licensed massage therapists. In a New York promotion brand ambassadors handed out newspapers to busy workers in the financial district. This turned out to be a very effective guerrilla marketing campaign.

GoMODELS are HOT!

GoMODELS are often models in the traditional sense, whose good looks can attract attention and bring in additional customers. One memorable promotion had street teams dressed as candy stripers that handed out prescriptions for better television service.  GoGORILLA street teams of Brand Ambassadors and GoMODELS are a great way to promote a business or launch a new product. The enthusiastic and articulate brand ambassadors can be the main attraction or a great addition to a strong and effective guerrilla marketing promotion.

Bar Media: Reaching Consumers Where They Drink and Wee-Wee

Advertising on the Rocks!

Successful marketers know that they have to go where their target audience spends their time. While traditional promotions may use television and radio to reach everyone, GoGORILLA Media uses non-traditional resources to put together successful guerilla marketing campaigns for their customers. Many advertisers are using Bar Media, one of GoGORILLA’s effective guerrilla marketing strategies, to reach consumers when they are in a relaxed or party mood.

Promo Items to Save Your Seat and Wipe Your Seat

GoGORILLA Bar Media promotes brands on all kinds of fun media including napkins, coasters, stirrers, pint glasses, bathroom ads, toilet paper, soap dispenser or mirror clings. These promotional items are a great way to get your message out in the relaxed or happening atmosphere of a restaurant or bar.   Every meeting place either uses coasters or napkins for their drinks.  GoGORILLA has produced custom branded items for many successful guerilla marketing promotions. They have been used to promote popular television programs, new housing developments, and many other brands. GoGORILLA also offers custom seat savers, which patrons can use to cover their drinks while taking a smoke or bathroom break.  GoGORILLA Bar Media items are visually appealing with stunning designs and colors to make a powerful impact. They are so cool that customers will want to take them home and show their friends.

They’ll Want to Take Them Home

GoGORILLA also uses glassware in their out of home advertising promotions.  GoGLASSES are pint-sized beer glasses that have been used in many guerilla marketing campaigns. These campaigns include promotions for new television shows, entertainment complexes, and radio promotions. They are also a green way of advertising in bars, since they are reusable. Pint glasses are effective, alternative advertising because the message reaches the one holding the glass as well as everyone else in the bar.  You can even put advertising on the bottom of the glass like we did for Court TV’s show “Parko P.I.!”

Ever Feel Like You’re Being Watched?

The idea behind the “Parko P.I” campaign was to give patrons the impression that a personal investigator is watching them.  The bottom of the glasses featured a picture of Parko who was suddenly eye to eye with the consumer drinking from the glass.  In the bathrooms, mirror clings with the message “Ever feel like you’re being watched?” brought attention to the wall cling of Parko strategically placed opposite of the mirror so once the bar patron could see the private detective in the mirror, watching the patron from behind.

Stirred, Not Shaken Please

GoSWIZZLES are another type of bar media from GoGORILLA that is very popular. These drink stirrers offer true “in your face” exposure that cannot be missed.  Like many other Bar Media they are definite souvenir items that people will want to collect and put on display at home or work.

GoPOTTY Reaches Consumers When They Tinkle

GoMIRRORCLINGS are an effective way of advertising in bathrooms.  Clings with funny messages or in custom shapes are attached to bathroom mirrors.  Nobody can miss them because they are staring right into patrons’ faces as they are washing their hands.  Other bathroom advertising ideas include GoWHIZZ Talking Urinals, GoWIPE branded toilet paper, and GoVINYLS on floors or stalls or under hand dryers, and many more fun media that are sure to leave an impression.

HBO Uses GoMONEY for Superbowl Takeover

Advertising in strip clubs?  No taboo for us!  As part of the GoMONEY campaign for the new HBO TV show “Eastbound & Down,” GoGORILLA Media distributed branded dollar bills to 20 bars and strip clubs in Tampa right before the Super Bowl to spread the word about HBO’s new show.  The target group?  Well, mostly male, but many of the lovely ladies were eager to pose with the branded bills.  The campaign continued on February 1st in Los Angeles and New York, where regular bars were targeted.  A total of $60,000 in one-dollar bills bearing stickers with advertising for the show were distributed across the three markets. Intrigued patrons of these venues had plenty of questions regarding the “Eastbound & Down” stickers appearing on their change.

The WaterStencil™ - Squeaky Clean, Green Advertising on Sidewalks

Getting Your Brand Noticed With Never-Seen-Before Advertising Techniques

Every day consumers are met with thousands of advertising messages. Marketers have to find new and interesting ways to reach their buyers and set themselves apart from the crowd. GoGORILLA is the one-stop shop for non-traditional media that can help any business create a strong and effective guerilla marketing campaign.  We can create unique events such as staging a flash mob or fake protest. GoGORILLA specializes in using guerrilla marketing techniques that are fun and unpredictable, and catch the audience off guard. We also employ sidewalk advertising using chalk or WaterStencil™ images. We use these out of home advertising methods to promote products in a unique way that will get people talking and create a buzz.

Green, Clean Advertising That Turns Heads

Our team at GoGORILLA is expert at creating guerrilla marketing promotions that are environmentally friendly. We do this by using techniques like reverse graffiti and clean graffiti that don’t alter or harm surfaces or the environment. We even have a medium called projection advertising that creates temporary images on urban walls and buildings with dual interactive projection displays.

How Does Reverse Clean Graffiti Work?

One great form of alternative advertising is GoGORILLA Media’s WaterStencil™. WaterStencil™ is a type of reverse graffiti that catches people by surprise as they walk down the street. Trained GoGORILLA teams use power washing technology to brand reverse graffiti in the form of a message or logo into the grime of the typical urban street or sidewalk. This method of under the radar guerilla marketing has been used to promote special events such as movie premiers and book releases, as well as to advertise clothing apparel and retail stores.

Green Graffiti Creates Positive Buzz for Brands

Unlike the typical messages scrawled on buildings, the WaterStencil™ is clean graffiti that gets your product message across in a fun and positive way. People walking to work in a business district or out for a night on the town will suddenly come across one of these unique guerrilla marketing messages that will stop them in their tracks. Not only will they get the initial impact of the message, but it will stay with them and they will pass the message on to family and friends. In addition to its wow factor, WaterStencil™ is also completely green graffiti. It is a power washing technique using nothing but water, so it does not add any chemicals or other harmful materials to the street or sidewalk. This is especially beneficial in urban areas or cities that do not allow certain forms of alternative advertising. WaterStencil™ is really just selectively washing the sidewalk with clean graffiti.

Going Viral with Reverse Graffiti

With so many businesses and advertisers competing for consumer attention it is easy to get lost in the crowd. GoGORILLA can help any business break through and create effective guerilla marketing campaigns. With a variety of out of home advertising methods, including reverse graffiti, also called clean graffiti, and street teams, we can successfully launch a product or service. Our green graffiti alternatives, such as WaterStencil™, are the perfect way to send a message and achieve viral, street level branding. GoGORILLA is the place for top quality guerrilla marketing.

From Smartphone manufacturer Blackberry, the new Storm is a revolutionary clickable touchscreen Smartphone that will leave the iPhone in the dust! To launch the Storm and introduce it to an early-adopter/trendsetting audience, Blackberry approached GoGorilla Media to arrange partnerships with 35 of the trendiest shops in New York by placing Blackberry displays in the showrooms - afterall, where else are you going to find the trendiest of trendsetters but New York City! GoGorilla then deployed Blackberry’s fun scavenger hunt throughout the stores — a contest that lasted for 10 days and drove thousands of people to visit the stores and enter secret codes for a chance to win a variety of prizes inlcuding the Storm itself.

GMC Network’s Iced Coffee Event Inside Ad Agencies

Advertisers get chilled by The Gospel Music Channel

The purpose of this campaign was to target media buyers inside of five advertising agencies on behalf of the Gospel Music Channel. This was done through the use of our GoModels serving ice coffee from a branded GoCoffee Cart, with delicious snacks and Gospel Music playing to create a wonderful environment for a much needed break for media buyers. The response was overwhelmingly positive from all those who took advantage of this amazing treat. Many came back for seconds, thirds, fourths and some were counted returning 5 times to the event. All in all, this campaign was a definite success.

Street Teams, Video Truck, and Pedicabs Guide Through Washington DC

DC Tourism Shows Both Visitors and Residents Some Fun

In an effort to promote DC tourism and the website washington.com, teams of GoMODELS took to the streets of our nation’s capital and bombarded both tourists and locals with GoCARDS featuring the words “Power Play” and “Flower Power.” Street Teams were placed outside the entrance of Nationals Park ballpark, and within the areas of the Cherry Blossom Festival Parade, and Sakura Matsuri Festival. Not only were free GoCARDS available for passersby, but free rides in brightly colored BicyTaxis were also on hand. However, the fun didn’t stop when the sun went down, as a GoVIDEOTRUCK drove through DC’s hottest spots showing most people, for the first time, the huge impact of the video billboard. With so much going on the effect was positively dizzying, and the hilarity of the day was shared by all.

Sidewalk Advertising - GoSTENCIL Got ‘The Signal’ Out There

Magnolia Pictures Goes Street Level to Promote Sci-Fi Thriller

Turn off your radio! Unplug your TV! Don’t pick up the phone! Look out…or ‘The Signal’ will get you! That’s exactly the message both New York City and Portland received when they were simultaneously WaterStenciled for the upcoming sci-fi thriller, ‘The Signal.’ Due out this winter, the horror film is about a transmission that is emitted from electronics and turns everyone in its path into a killer! In the middle of the night, our team planned and executed their attack on the cities’ sidewalks with GoCHALK-STENCILS and Water-Stencils around every corner. The next morning, people awoke to their adorned sidewalks, and they got the message – they got the signal.
