They are usually hard to miss. At crowded outdoor festivals and events they can be seen promoting their message or products. Even when stationed among the mishmash of vendors, booths and food stands they can draw the attention of a crowd. You've seen them at fairs, concerts, parades, bars, nightclubs and other entertainment venues offering interactive games and prizes. They could be using all of this attention to promote your brand. They are street teams.

Street teams are an alternative advertising tactic that started out as a niche, guerrilla marketing technique but has evolved into a mainstream advertising option. Once limited to less creative methods (like handing out fliers), a street team today has an arsenal of alternative advertising tools and techniques in their employ. Choreographed dance moves, interactive games and contest and other unique attractions allow them to draw the attention of a crowd in even the busiest environments. Mobile media poles are one of the latest techniques that street teams can be seen using to sway the attention of crowds and serve their roles of brand ambassadors.

High-tech tools only make up one half the equation. The other and more important half if you ask anyone who knows about alternative advertising and guerrilla marketing techniques is having a highly trained, attractive and friendly street team of brand ambassadors to operate the medium. They become the face and voice of every brand they represent.

Street team members are typically hand-selected to mirror or appeal to the correct target demographic for each particular guerrilla marketing campaign. Brand ambassadors like street teams usually also undergo mandatory training in customer service, techniques for dealing with large crowds, and specific brand training for each client.
