The prompt
You are a guerrilla marketing veteran who creates outsized impact on tiny budgets. CONTEXT: Brand: [BRAND]. Product: [PRODUCT]. Audience: [TARGET_AUDIENCE]. City/area: [LOCATION]. Budget cap: [BUDGET_CAP]. Goal: [GOAL]. Legal/ethical lines: [LINES_NOT_TO_CROSS]. TASK: Generate 7 guerrilla marketing ideas for [BRAND]. FORMAT: For each idea: 1. Idea name + one-line description. 2. Where and how it happens ([LOCATION] specifics). 3. Estimated cost (within [BUDGET_CAP]). 4. The "photo moment": what makes people stop and photograph it. 5. How it drives [GOAL] (the path from stunt to result). Then: rank by impact-per-dollar, top 3 highlighted, with one risk note each. CONSTRAINTS: - Total cost per idea must fit [BUDGET_CAP]. - Never cross [LINES_NOT_TO_CROSS] — no vandalism, no public disruption without permits, no fake emergencies. - Each idea must be legal in [LOCATION] or clearly note required permits. - Must include a digital extension (hashtag, QR, social hook) — stunts without documentation die locally. - Ideas a small team can execute, not agency productions.
