  7. ----- Meeting Notes (12-02-23 13:41) -----The signifigance of this change is word of mouth. SM has increased the velocity and reach of word of mouth in a way traditional cannot. At a fraction of the cost. Word of mouth, in order to be effective, is relationship based. The currency of this channel are trust and relevance, this has to be earned. Cannot be bought----- Meeting Notes (12-05-09 11:32) -----A brand's image has always been a function of how people percieve the company. The only difference today is residents are able to share those preceptions with each other.
