• Word of mouth advertising is spread by Brand Ambassadors, Advocates or Champions
• Advocates and Champions are individual brand fanatics who work to spread the word on their own volition, and do not officially represent the brand
• Ambassadors officially represent the brand (rewards, incentives). These are social media mavens who are influential with the target audience, and already have a large audience of followers. They have a high Klout score of 80 plus
• A Buzz specialist will find, manage and motivate a team of Ambassadors to get them talking about the brand, who will get others talking about it
• Examples: American Eagle and college kids
