Viral marketing expert Jonah Berger followed David Usher with a presentation on word of mouth marketing, discussing issues that included what drives word of mouth, why some products so viral and what are effective triggers.
Seth Godin was next on stage at The Art of Marketing Conference. Seth delighted delegates with his session on permission marketing and how to create a "purple cow" - an offering that stands out from the crowd and causes customers to take notice.
