“Once in front of a screen, be it on
   a desktop, laptop, or increasingly
a handheld device, we ‘log in’ – not into

Meet “my possible future bike”
Meet “my possible future bike”
Whether I’ll buy it largely depends on the bike’s “WOM equity”




   “Word-of-mouth equity” is an index
of a brand’s power to generate messages
  that influence a consumer’s decision
               to purchase.



           From “A new way to measure word-of-mouth marketing”, McKinsey
How to measure WOM equity?

            close/trusted     relevant
           large/dispersed   irrelevant

              network         content

volume      x         impact              =   WOM equity
                sender        source

              influential     experience
            not influential    hearsay
In the case of “my possible future bike”

          close/trusted     relevant
         large/dispersed   irrelevant

            network         content

volume    x         impact              =   WOM equity
              sender        source

            influential     experience
          not influential    hearsay
The importance of “managing” WOM Equity


    The incremental gain from outperforming
competitors with superior TV ads is relatively small.
  That’s because all companies actively manage
      their traditional marketing activities.

 With so few companies actively managing WOM,
   the potential upside is exponentially bigger.



         From “A new way to measure word-of-mouth marketing”, McKinsey
How can a brand impact its WOM equity score?




   Generate Intentional WOM        Stimulate Consequential WOM        Focus on Experiential WOM




the event, site, game or contest    the pass-on effects of a “cool”    real experiences generate
that hopefully generates WOM       campaign can generate WOM          the most successful WOM
Why “experiential WOM” beats any other form of WOM




Marketers tend to build campaigns around emotional
  positioning, yet consumers actually tend to talk
— and generate buzz — about functional messages.




         From “A new way to measure word-of-mouth marketing”, McKinsey
WOM IS NEVER BETUER
