The document discusses word of mouth (WOM) marketing research from the Keller Fay Group. Some key findings include:
- 90% of conversations occur offline, primarily face-to-face, while only 8% are online. Certain "Conversation Catalysts" have much larger social networks and influence than average.
- Advertising plays a bigger role in driving WOM than people realize. TV ads are the most commonly referenced type of advertising in WOM.
- The internet is most referenced in WOM about products and services, while TV is most referenced for media/entertainment WOM.
- The brands with the most weekly WOM impressions tend to be large advertisers. In

Social sharing in B2B: Understanding the cycle of influenceKeller Fay Group
Cognito Insights, Cognito’s new practice area dedicated to impactful analytics and actionable intelligence, partnered with Keller Fay, an Engagement Labs Company focused on data and technology that measures and tracks online and offline conversations and influencers, for a two-part webinar series on social sharing in B2B financial services.
Although the concept of social sharing is an old one, the challenges and opportunities of social sharing in the age of technology continue to stir debate in the communications community. This first webinar (February 2016) on “understanding the cycle of influence” will cut through the buzz and explore the impact of social sharing, implications for measurement and strategies for implementation. A second webinar (March 2016) will provide a deep-dive into measurement tools and tactics.

Talking Social TV 2 with Ed Keller and Beth RockwoodKeller Fay Group
Almost no topic captures more attention in the media and marketing trade press than social TV. Keller Fay has been undertaking an ambitious research project on behalf of the Council for Research Excellence (CRE) to help the industry better understand the role of social media in driving television viewing behavior. Ed Keller and Discovery’s Beth Rockwood unveiled the new research findings at the Advertising Research Foundation’s Re:Think 2014.
Facebook & Keller Fay: Where Social TV Meets Word-of-Mouth, ARF RE:THINK 2014Keller Fay Group
The Top 10 Fall TV shows of 2013 were assessed by two measures: online social chatter as measured on Facebook, and offline word of mouth about television as measured by Keller Fay’s TalkTrack®. A 0.73 correlation was found between the two methods, with instructive differences based upon demographics, genre, and high-interest episodes. Responses to specific popular programs such as Dancing with the Stars, Glee, The Big Bang Theory, and Scandal were analyzed.
There is a common assumption that word of mouth tends to be negative, and that negative WOM has greater impact than positive talk. It turns out that both are untrue. More than two-thirds of all brand WOM is actually positive in nature, while less than 10% is purely negative. That’s over eight times more positive than negative WOM.
Word of Mouth (WOM) across major consumer categories was down significantly during the 2013 holidays, relative to 2012. There were, however, some clear brand winners this holiday season, along with WOM laggards. The Keller Fay Group has measured the holiday WOM and in this presentation shares the brands that saw the biggest increases in WOM, and those that saw their WOM drop.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. About The Face-to-Face Book
The Face-to-Face Book presents a unique, research-backed point of view about the value of real
relationships in a time when social media has taken center stage. Companies are pouring
billions into Facebook and Twitter, hoping that they have finally found the holy grail of
marketing. But, the fact remains that it is the in-person conversations that still matter most.
Based on six years of research by the award-winning word of mouth research firm, the Keller
Fay Group, the Face-to-Face Book presents a multitude of case studies and research studies
that show that:
•Over 90% of conversations still take place offline, primarily face to face, with less than 8%
occurring online
•Human beings are fundamentally wired to be social and are highly influenced by direct, in-
person conversations
•Large companies, such as Apple, General Mills, Kimberly Clark and Toyota have been
successful by integrating WOM into their advertising and marketing campaigns
•Consumers often reference other forms of media when they are talking about a brand, making
the case that advertising can be designed to spark WOM conversation
