EPIC!

Greenpeace and Peta are industries? wasn't aware of this. Or did I get something wrong? -epic

Greenpeace and Peta are liberal??? - Rich

I removed the bit about "young idealists". I didn't think it was appropriate label for people working in street teams with said organisations.

There is still too little factual information in this article. I've added a {{Essay-entry|article}} tag. Yatta 22:06, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I removed the notion that street teams aim to spam message boards - as the promo company i work for has an anti spam policy as i know many others do - we only advise to post to relevant places or to mention it in conversation on others - not to spam wildly --Preceding unsigned comment added by Scottcabal (talk o contribs) 22:37, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

the origins of guerrilla marketing, posters and flyers can be traced to France and the early days of the printing press. The modern street team in America is a hand-to-hand, in-your-face branding tool that creates an immediate impression by assaulting at least two of the senses. Modern advertising until the invention of the internet had been limited to print, video, radio and billboard. The article states that punk rock kids created the street team concept. The street team evolved from hip-hop record promotion. Notably, Loud records in the early 90's found a cheap and effective way to bring their artists into clubs, radio stations, schools and other lifestyle outlets by providing young people with free goods to distribute. These young people looked at distributing free music and posters as an introductory position in the music industry. These people usually fans, were proud to be the interface between their favorite artist and the street. It is true that money was not always a motivator. The chance to meet the artist and gain access to shows was often enough to fuel their dedication. As this model of infiltrating target communities worked for more and more urban artists, poster and sticker campaigns followed. It soon became a battle in the streets for branding space. Around 1995, "wrapped vehicle" entered the picture. These vechicles were usually SUVs covered in graphics that promoted an artist, or movie and street date. It wasn't until around 2000 that the labels began to employ similar tactics for indie and rock based bands. --Preceding unsigned comment added by Thebooth (talk o contribs) 00:42, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Exactly and the online street team model continued to further develop into affiliate programs. This happened when Levious and Gibran and then partner Mike Bell began offering Wu Tang clothing online for the global street team created when they were working with Rza from Wutang which was under Loud Records. Loud actually called over to Wu Tang often to get ideas on how to market online and if they could direct traffic from Wu Tang which was receiving 1.8 million unique hits per month. The global street team would offer merchandise and clothing to supporters of the global brand that they created. Wu Tang wasn't looked at as a global brand until Gibran and Mike started working with Wu Tang. Before the two arrived there was no even email at the Wu Tang office and none of the computers were networked. That was wierd, after they arrived Gibran helped to reestablish the WU Tang image and the notion of it being a brand. This helped to push the group over the million album sales mark. The increased traffic to the site was contributed to the live web cast being run from the studios. --Preceding unsigned comment added by Elohimgenius (talk o contribs) 00:59, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

All this talk of Street Team Promotion seems a lot like advertising to me. Does anyone disagree?--Mr. Snow (talk) 15:57, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

You cannot just blank out a page because you (feel) like it should. That in itself is vandalism. How about adding constructive edits to the page. Much of the information that was blanked out discusses the history of street teams. Instead try to do research and edit specific sections. Don't just blank out a whole page.--Gnosis (talk) 14:52, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

As a matter of fact if you just do a little research you will find that much of the information is relevant to the article. It just needs to be formatted properly with a few citations of sources. If you have suggestions or edits please follow the wikipedia guidelines and discuss them here before making such edits as you did before by blanking out the page. Any continued actions will be treated as vandalism and appropriate action will be taken.--Gnosis (talk) 15:00, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

The claim is "In nearly twelve years, this has never enjoyed the presence of a single reliable source." While that may be true, there appears to be no shortage of Guerrilla marketing books that describe what a street team is and how to assemble your own: https://www.google.com/search?tbs=bks:1&q=%22Street+team%22. If this topic is truly objectionable as a standalone article, then it should be merged into Street marketing or Guerrilla marketing#Street marketing 2. This term is used enough (see below) that "Street team" should not be turned into a WP:REDLINK. -- DanielPenfield (talk) 00:50, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
