Guerrilla marketing is a relatively new way of doing marketing. It is initially used by small companies and/or individuals allowing them to act like large companies. However, more and more large companies use Guerrilla marketing these days. The usage of Guerrilla management can bring advantages but can also increase risks. At this moment little research is done about the way how large companies manage the reputational risk associated with Guerrilla marketing. This is a problem in both science and practise. The purpose of this thesis is therefore to contribute to the understanding of how large companies manage the possible reputational risk that Guerrilla marketing and the communication of Guerrilla marketing brings along. This research is based on several theories, both emerging and dominant about Guerrilla marketing, Viral Marketing, Buzz marketing, Reputational risk and Reputational Risk Management. To do the research, in-depth interviews were held with experts when it comes to managing reputational risk and new marketing tools of four large companies based in Sweden. The analyses show that large companies manage the increasing reputational risks in some extend. Main findings are that the companies do not monitor Guerrilla marketing processes and do not have a central coordination for reputational risk management. This shows that not all companies are really aware of the risk that new marketing tools bring along and do not have a solid reputational risk management.

Not just corporate communication, but marketing and customer service were deeply affected by Web 2.0 and this work tries to reflect this new era by choosing a qualitative study, where they were administered structured questionnaires and semi-structured, in addition to participant observation. This is a case study at Embrapa Solos, the first research center of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation to implement corporate blogs when little was said about the subject. Over the past five years since the first posts were published, much has changed in the delicate balance of power information x / x enterprise consumer. This study concludes that despite the advances that blogs have provided not only to Embrapa Solos, but other companies that have adopted this and other social networks, there is still a long way to go, the flattening of structures and real democratization of information. / Esta pesquisa tem o objetivo de analisar como a interatividade e a transparência passaram a ser os novos paradigmas da comunicação empresarial e a forma como as empresas estão lidando com esta nova realidade, manifestada com o surgimento e proliferação das redes sociais. Não apenas a comunicação corporativa, mas o marketing e o atendimento ao cliente foram profundamente afetados pela Web 2.0 e este trabalho procura fazer uma reflexão deste novo momento, ao optar por um estudo qualitativo, onde foram aplicados questionários estruturados e semi-estruturados, além da observação participante. Trata-se de um estudo de caso na Embrapa Solos, o primeiro centro de pesquisa da Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária a implantar blogs corporativos quando pouco se falava no assunto. Nos últimos cinco anos, desde que os primeiros posts foram publicados, muita coisa mudou na delicada balança de poder x informação/ empresa x consumidor. Este estudo conclui que apesar dos avanços que os blogs proporcionaram não só à Embrapa Solos, mas em outras empresas que adotaram esta e outras redes sociais, ainda há um longo caminho a ser percorrido, de horizontalização de estruturas e real democratização da informação.
