We believe in authenticity. We believe that people build brands. Therefore, consumer advocacy or WoM (word of mouth) is the most important element that every brand should be concerned about.

Since 2009, we offer marketers an alternative for annoying and intrusive commercials in consumers everyday life. Together with our influential members worldwide, we sparks conversations and bridge the gap between brands and consumers. The result? A lasting relationship that is worth built on trust and open communication.

Our members’ dedication, enthusiasm and ideas have led to a fantastic community that has reshaped and keeps on reinventing the current marketing and advertisement landscape! In WoM we (all) trust.

Word of Mouth (WoM) marketing is much more credible and has a greater impact than traditional advertising. It means spreading the word, online and offline, about a product or service by simply talking about it with friends, family and relatives. After all, wouldn’t you be excited if someone close to you offers solid recommendations? Need proof?

• 84% of consumers say they either completely or somewhat trust recommendations from family, colleagues, and friends about products and services – making these recommendations the highest ranked source for trustworthiness. (Nielsen)
• 70% of people read online reviews before making a purchase decision, either online or buying it later in-store. (PwC’s Annual Global Total Retail Consumer Survey, February 2015)
• Millennials ranked word-of-mouth as the #1 influencer in their purchasing decisions about clothes, packaged goods, big-ticket items (like travel and electronics), and financial products. Baby Boomers also ranked word-of-mouth as being most influential in their purchasing decisions about big-ticket items and financial products. (Radius Global)
• Brands that inspire a higher emotional intensity receive 3x as much word-of-mouth as less emotionally-connected brands. (Keller Fay Group)

We are very conscious about not spamming your mailbox, so we limit this to:

• Announcements for campaigns which might interest you to subscribe to.
• If you have applied for a campaign: a notification whether you are selected or not.
