Method and Execution
Aggressive marketing techniques are used more covertly by large organisations to improve advertising impact and reduce the likelihood of competitors’ retaliation. Sponsoring the Indian cricket team failed for Nike, as Reebok managed to put branded stickers on their bats, at far less cost but for a much greater return. Third party market research companies are often used to gather corporate information and guerrilla advertising agencies are contracted to market products in aggressive media, and companies are used to improve the impact of an aggressive marketing strategy and target consumers directly while not directly being responsible for the aggressive marketing execution.
Guerrilla Marketing Warfare Tactics are often the best, most cost effective methods to reach consumers. Often Guerrilla tactics are used against a company by advertising to their competitors’ customers directly for the most impact. (See Leapfrog Marketing Strategies.)

Famous quotes containing the words method and, method and/or execution:
“The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something. The millions who are in want will not stand idly by silently forever while the things to satisfy their needs are within easy reach.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“The insidiousness of science lies in its claim to be not a subject, but a method. You could ignore a subject; no subject is all-inclusive. But a method can plausibly be applied to anything within the field of consciousness.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“The application requisite to the duties of the office I hold [governor of Virginia] is so excessive, and the execution of them after all so imperfect, that I have determined to retire from it at the close of the present campaign.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
