15. The bigger point: The role of consumers in media and marketing has fundamentally changed.
16. A powerful global conversation has begun. Through the Internet, people are discovering and inventing new ways to share relevant knowledge with blinding speed. As a direct result, markets are getting smarter—and getting smarter faster than most companies. These markets are conversations. -- The Cluetrain Manifesto (1999)

Notas do Editor
Let’s first talk about why word of mouth is so important. To start, we can look at results from countless research studies that have recently been conducted to demonstrate the power of this medium on public opinion and consumer behavior. The first was conducted by the UK arm of Mediaedge:CIA, the WPP-owned media planning company. Mediaedge asked consumers “Which factors would make you most comfortable purchasing a product?” 8% said “The product’s website”, 15% said “An advertisement for the product”, 22% said “A newspaper or magazine recommended it” – and that is the editorial section of the publication… And 76% said “A friend recommended it.” Another study by Yankelovich found similar results. They asked consumers to tell them the best source for advice on a new product. 67% claimed the best source was “Another consumer who owns the product.” And this compared to only 35% for traditionally revered sources like Consumer Reports. This is a staggering shift when you consider that certain industries literally build their products to the specifications of Consumer Reports editors, rather than to what their consumers want – that’s how important those information services used to be. Finally, a study by Forrester in which they asked consumers which type of advertising they trust. 90% of respondents trust “Recommendations from consumers”, versus 50% for the next most trusted source, magazines. This is why word of mouth is so prized. This is why marketers are trying to crack the code as to how they might tap into this organic, naturally-occurring phenomenon and leverage it to achieve their brand goals.
