Hi Erik,

Sure, as I find good examples I'll post 'em here.... :)

Meanwhile, some examples can be found from PETA - while they're not a business, they do use "guerrilla" publicity stunts to promote their cause. (They've been accused of "sexism" in their publicity stunts before, but I guess they use what they feel works....) I've linked to one page about some of these below....

Note what the guy says -

"While I confess to being a bloodthirsty carnivore due to Mother Nature's cruel biological design...."

Yet he promotes their cause anyhow.... I guess that's probably guerrilla marketing that's at least getting attention, if nothing else!

I guess you're doing well when people who don't even agree with you will help to promote you!

Women of PETA, getting media attention....

Here's another similar web page too....
