WOMMA members led multiple information-rich, standing-room-only panels. Clearly, the marketing industry is hungry for more information on WOM, and they are turning to WOMMA to give it to them.
Word-of-mouth, viral, and buzz issues were clearly dominant themes throughout the event. 7,000 marketers attended the show, and anything related to our topic area was in hot demand. The two WOM-specific panels were as crowded as the keynote sessions. WOMMA's key issues were major discussions on many related panels, including blogs, email, and consumer-focused branding.
WOMMA members who were featured on panels include: Jan Marie Zwiren, Edelman; Dave Balter, BzzAgent; Pete Blackshaw, Intelliseek; David Godes, Harvard Business School; Jonathan Carson, BuzzMetrics; Ed Keller, NOP World; Mike Nazzaro, Intelliseek; Andy Sernovitz, WOMMA; Mike Nazzaro, Intelliseek; and Jonathan Nelson, Organic.
Aug. 24th, 2004
Panelists included: David Reis (DEI Worldwide), Jonathan Carson (BuzzMetrics), Jan Marie Zwiren (Edelman Communications), Dave Balter (BzzAgent), and Jackie Huba (co-author of Creating Customer Evangelists).
Key questions covered:
* How do marketers nurture and grow a "trusted" word of mouth space?
* What are the risks of "shills" being employed by marketers to promote products on message boards, forums, chat rooms, or even offline?
* Are there key lessons we might draw from the history of spam or intrusive pop-up advertising that might better inform word of mouth marketing practices?
* Who's doing it right? Who's doing it wrong? (Yes, we addressed controversial issues head-on.)
