In another chat with musician, marketer, and fellow USC Annenberg adjunct professor Bobby Borg, I delve into the elements of word of mouth (WOM) marketing in the music industry…
Now, my students and clients know that I compare WOM to winning the lottery: yes, people do win it, but you shouldn’t bet your business on it. Same with WOM. Yes, gossip can promote sales, but you can’t rely on it.

- Influencers
- Controversy
- Mystery & Intrigue
