Abstract: 
Street-level marketing has become a dynamic approach for engaging urban audiences through interactive and experiential strategies. This paper explores the effectiveness of street-level marketing, examining its evolution, theoretical underpinnings, and the impact of urban environments on marketing strategies. Key interactive methods, including guerrilla marketing, experiential campaigns, and flash mobs, are discussed alongside the critical role of technology and social media in enhancing audience engagement. Additionally, the paper addresses the challenges marketers face, such as regulatory constraints, audience diversity, and measurement of success. Despite these challenges, opportunities for leveraging community involvement, cultural relevance, and real-time feedback are abundant. By analyzing current trends and successful campaigns, the paper offers practical recommendations for businesses seeking to capitalize on urban marketing strategies and build authentic connections with city-based consumers.
