January 3, 2026 Convention, Tradeshow, and Expo Marketing
Oklahoma’s convention scene buzzes with energy, creativity, and the kind of in-person engagement that only live events can yield. Amid the surge of traditional sponsorships and digital ad placements, there’s a shift underway—one where breakout brands ditch ordinary for unforgettable. At the heart of this movement is American Guerrilla Marketing, a trailblazing agency pushing guerrilla tactics to new heights across Oklahoma’s tradeshows, expos, and conventions.
Let’s paint the picture: you arrive at an Oklahoma City event center or Tulsa venue. Instead of bland signage and repetitive booth chatter, you encounter vibrant sidewalk stencils leading you to an exhibit, eye-catching wild postings across local hot spots, and branded beer coasters at every gathering point. The line between attendee and participant blurs, and brand activations don’t merely catch the eye—they spark conversations and forge memories.
Trade events are often packed with back-to-back booths, oversaturated banners, and networking fatigue. Every exhibitor competes for attention, but only a fraction truly break the pattern. Here’s where guerrilla marketing turns the tide: unconventional tactics cut through noise and build emotional connection.
American Guerrilla Marketing crafts unique campaigns for Oklahoma tradeshows using a blend of old-school grit and modern spectacle. Strategies like sidewalk stencils, branded pedicabs, projections, and flyering let brands own attendee pathways both inside and outside the venue.
