Welcome to the forum. Here's what I think:

In general I’d say don’t get fancy. Sit down, play your usual game and adjust at the table if need be. Never walk in with an assumption or game plan based on no information.

The exception is this. If the tourney allows rebuys, which I doubt because it sounds like an STT, be aggressive until the freeze out. You need to speculate to accumulate and if you’re lucky you can catch a few people out when you change gear after the freeze out. This is the only image building and advertising I advise when playing in cheap games.
