Which marketing approach emphasizes delivering a low-cost, high-impact message to generate word-of-mouth and buzz?

• A. Guerrilla Marketing
• B. Semiotic Analysis
• C. Web banner/banner ad
• D. Viral marketing

Answer: (A)

This item tests understanding of guerrilla marketing. It focuses on delivering a low-cost, high-impact message that triggers word-of-mouth and buzz by using creative, unexpected, and attention-grabbing tactics in public spaces or everyday settings. The aim is to spark conversations and social sharing so the idea spreads organically without a big media budget. This contrasts with more traditional or analytical approaches: semiotic analysis is about interpreting signs and meanings rather than running campaigns; a web banner is a standard paid ad placement; and viral marketing, while also about rapid sharing, isn’t defined by low cost and high-impact execution designed to generate buzz in the same hands-on, resourceful way as guerrilla marketing.
