Jägermeister: Unleash the beast



This time I'll be discussing two Guerrilla Marketing stunts in stead of one. Both stunts were developed and executed by the same brand, Jägermeister. Jägermeister goes by the slogan: Unleash the Beast. A slogan that they took very literally in their first stunt. They placed an empty cage in the middle of a street in Amsterdam, from which the bars were broken and bend. A near by liquor store had a smashed in window and the road was blocked by police. People walked by in shock, before they understood that it was just a stunt by Jägermeister. The other stunt was placing an enormous cube of ice on a limousine. The block of Ice had bottles of Jägermeister in it. Most passengers stopped to take a look, and a couple of them even started to chop the ice cube to get a bottle out.

What I think is so great about these stunts, is that Jägermeister really focused on his target market. Even though the stunts were witnessed by a lot of people, it had the most success on the teenagers and young adults, which is in fact Jägermeister's target audience.

What I do have to say about these stunts is that they both cost a lot of money. A limousine costs a lot, and so does a shop window. Therefore, even though I really like these stunts, I don't think they are the best examples of Guerrilla stunts.
