Editor's Notes

  • Thank you for the chance to talk about word of mouth… Personal background: Client for many years at P&amp;G, Molson, Guinness/Diageo, a place called Echo Having spent a wealth on traditional advertising – I’m a born-again marketer My bet is it’s a big part of marketing’s future and at the end of this presentation, you’ll grab three things: - word of mouth is really powerful and for a wide a variety of brands, I should be thinking about it as an integrated part of upcoming plans - word of mouth can be orchestrated and you can do it credibly and avoid the pitfalls, you can make it a valuable marketing touchpoint and maybe even strategy for your business - Agent Wildfire is Canada’s Expert here – they have the experience, knowledge, database, assets and team to help my business – they are not one size fits all, they have options sized for my business
