Kevin Spidel’s Experience
-
Managing Partner
ActivatingWOM
(Online Media industry)
February 2009 — Present (6 months)
We all know that the fastest way for an idea to spread is through word of mouth communication. When you hear everyone talking about a new product, service, or site, you immediately want to check it out to see what all the hype is about. That’s the power of word of mouth - but how do you get it?
Activating Word of Mouth engages your consumers to be brand advocates for you on the social web. We identify your fans, build on the existing culture of your brand, and activate your fan base to spread your message.
We are a Web 3 Marketing firm that takes you from concept to contagious word of mouth, using Web 3 empowerment strategy. This strategy revolves around the idea of targeting your audience based on semantic (conversational) data and how it relates to the consumer. -
