Guerrilla Health Message Marketing
Guerrilla marketing can work for health education campaigns. This sticky note was left in a men’s bathroom in the College of Education at the University of Central Oklahoma today. I am not sure if a student club or class is doing this. It was effective: I read it, and now you did too! – Posted…
