Many marketers recognize that word of mouth (WOM)/earned media, online and off, is the most effective form of advertising, but precisely how effective is it? Up to now, there’s been no industry-wide, definitive study to answer that question, but the Word of Mouth Marketing Association (WOMMA) has changed all of that with its new “Return on WOM” study. We now know the ROI of WOM marketing and, more importantly, how it can be maximized for brands across a variety of categories.

This study has brought together leading brands across a variety of categories to share data and insights, and in this panel, study participants (as well as Peter Storck, Chairman of the WOMMA Research & Measurement Council) will discuss how the results finally quantify the value of earned media relative to paid/owned, and what that means for the future of WOM. This is a unique opportunity to learn what cutting-edge market-mix-modeling techniques reveal about how WOM should fit into your overall marketing mix.
