Guerilla Marketing with Bumper Stickers

We sent a few bumper stickers to the Libyan rebels so that they can throw em on their pickup trucks. Don't think they tracked down Gadhafi yet. He may be camping out somewhere in New Jersey. Click on the photo for a larger version.

Marketing and Promotion IV

Here's the latest promotional piece from our marketing people. Even though they are really busy trying to find and capture Gadhafi, the Libyan rebels were nice enough to throw this sign together. We're definitely going to have to send them some of our new bumper stickers. Good Luck in Bani Walid!

Celebrity Endorsement - Lil Wayne

A little while back we sort of got into a little celebrity endorsement. The musician and all around nice guy Lil Wayne sported one of the cups from the Quirk Museum Cafe and filled it up with some "drank". We hear he's doing pretty good lately. Weezy F Baby has broken another record this week, for being nominated 19 times at the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards! Stop on in anytime Weezy!

Marketing and Promotion III

Sometimes advertising during a protest or street demonstration can work out pretty well. We got the right sign, color, font, etc... but shortly after this photo was taken, our sign guy was cuffed, hit over the head with the sign and dragged away screaming about the World Trade Organization or something.

Marketing and Promotion II

Here's a more recent example from our marketing people using signage in a crowded area. Is that Egypt? There are a few problems here. The font and font color are all wrong and the guy is holding the sign backwards. At least the spelling was correct.

Marketing and Promotion

As with many museums and galleries the Quirk Museum has worked to promote our brand through various advertising and marketing campaigns. We have worked with a few different agencies over the years and some of the promotions have been pretty successful. Some have not worked out so well.

Here is an example of one of our early attempts at building the brand in a cost effective way.
