Shawn,

Guerrilla Marketing is about using tools in a creative, innovative fashion. Using a martial arts analogy... everyone has a broom in their house -- they're mainstream, but in the hands of a trained Arnis or Ninjitsu master that broom is a guerrilla weapon.

Being on Twitter, Facebook, or blogging doesn't make you a guerrilla. It's application of Innovation, Imagination, Knowledge and Harnessing Community that make you a guerrilla. It's also APPLYING the 19 Secrets of Guerrilla Social Media Marketing (http://www.closingbigger.net/2009/07/19-guerrilla-social-media-marketing-secrets/)that is key. They're all there for the world to see, anyone can be a guerrilla...BUT consistently applying all of the secrets is needed, not something every mainstream marketer will do.

Hi Shane,

Really engaging interview. I'm wondering as blogging and social media go mainstream (Is it too early to make that assessment?) whether the value of these technologies for true guerrilla marketing will diminish. As it takes more and more to get attention online, even when being more intimate and engaged with customers, will there be an increased expense (in cost of time if nothing else) and a decrease in the "unconventional" and "unexpected" as one Wikipedia article defines these techniques. In short, how long until social media ceases to be a guerrilla technique at all?
