Hip political guerrilla marketing

I am not quite sure what kind of marketing activities I would expect at election events, but most likely not one from a company like Abercrombie & Fitch. At a recent televised Barack Obama speech in Pennsylvania, 3 guys with various Abercrombie & Fitch shirts were sitting conspicuously behind Obama. I guess if you want to do some guerrilla marketing to a younger, hipper politically interested audience, you best set up that campaign around a younger, hipper candidate such as Barack Obama.

Election guerrilla marketing

With all the election signs out there, this is not a bad time to smuggle in a few of your own signs. That thought apparently came to the mind of Seattle indie rockers The Presidents of the United States of America and surely enough those guerrilla marketing signs seem to fit in well. We are glad to hear that "these are the good times people", but maybe we are so bored with election signs that we won't look at them closer and thus not find out about it.

Yes we can

The Barack Obama campaign has a nice viral video campaign on youtube called "Yes we can." Since it was added on February 2, this video has been viewed over 4 million times. It is a great example of how inspiration sparks creativity in order to push positive change. Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas and several other artists such as Herbie Hancock, Esthero, John Legend, Ed Kowalczyk and Tracee Ellis Ross, made this project happen.
