Abstract The concept of Guerilla Marketing was first put forward by Jay Conrad Levinson in 1984. Guerilla Marketing is unconventional way of marketing a product or service. An appropriate example for this would be the popularisation of the film Kabali by the producer Kalaipuli S. Thanu by the advertisement on the AirIndia aircraft. Even though this concept was proposed thirty years ago, it has become a weapon in the marketing arsenal only in the recent years. This concept can be used to counter a marketing attack or to create buzz around the market or to make a marketing message viral. Initially it was thought that this concept was meant only for small organisations, but of late some of the big giants like Burger King, Intel, Samsung, Nike and many more have utilized this concept to conquer the world.
