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/or execution:
““English! they are barbarians; they don’t believe in the great God.” I told him, “Excuse me, Sir. We do believe in God, and in Jesus Christ too.” “Um,” says he, “and in the Pope?” “No.” “And why?” This was a puzzling question in these circumstances.... I thought I would try a method of my own, and very gravely replied, “Because we are too far off.” A very new argument against the universal infallibility of the Pope.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
“I am gradually drifting to the opinion that this Rebellion can only be crushed finally by either the execution of all the traitors or the abolition of slavery. Crushed, I mean, so as to remove all danger of its breaking out again in the future.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
