yes, i have seen those campaigns... i've seen traditional marketing
campaigns (print, ads, billboards, tv, radio, etc.) and i have seen
guerrilla campaigns (stickers, flyers, handbills, etc.)...
the type of campaign, as well as the tone, is always determined by
the site... a place in toronto advertises on the radio almost
exclusively because they know the demographics of the audience
for the radio station and their site, and they mesh perfectly...
some places use their regular ads to support their web presence,
primarily because it's always worked for them...
the guerrilla ones are interesting because they target the sub-
cultures... a saw a local punk-zine start up by advertising their
presence on lamp posts and bike racks all over town, then some
stickers appeared on buildings, cars, etc... and then handbills at
local shows...
overall, tailor your advertising campaign to your audience, just as
you would do for your site design...
