Abstract: In these days of informational overload the importance of effective communication from company to consumer is essential. Yet many firms hardly find a proper way to step out from informational fog. There are some unusual tools for marketing managers as social media marketing, viral marketing, buzzmarketing, neuromarketing and so on, which offer opportunities to differentiate. Guerrilla marketing, as one of them, unfortunately suffers of theoretical ambiguity. This paper has two main objectives. Firstly, it aims to provide an analysis of the current state of theoretical knowledge about guerrilla marketing and show basic concepts and thoughts in this particular field. Secondly, based on previous analysis, it focuses on selecting gaps in the current knowledge and suggests paths for the future research. This could help to provide relevant material for both the marketing scholars and marketing managers or executives.
