You have ideas that the world needs to hear.
But great ideas don’t always get the recognition they deserve.
You need to help it along, and that takes word of mouth marketing.
You’ll learn how at Word of Mouth Supergenius, July 20 in New York.
This is the "How to be Great at Word of Mouth Marketing" conference.
Learn specific, useful strategies to get people talking about you:
- 12 How-to Classes: Simple hands-on lessons on essential word of mouth skills
- 12 Case Studies: Real-world success stories from Dell, Kraft, and more
- 6 Brilliant Authors: Josh Bernoff, Brian Solis, Hugh MacLeod, and more
- Compelling Keynotes: Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh and Word of Mouth guru Andy Sernovitz (that’s me)
Our promise: You’ll use what you learn to get more business the very next day, without spending money.
Get simple, hands-on advice from people who’ve really done it. This is a practical, you-can-do-it, blow-your-mind-with-results kind of day.
Make it work for you with real-world case studies from companies just like yours. Make it work with no budget — just brains, vision, energy, and a compelling reason for people to talk about you.
You’re going to learn how love and happiness bring in more customers. And I guarantee you’ll feel lovelier and happier when you get more sales while spending much less on marketing.

Why is it a one-day conference?
Because we’re going to blow your mind, man.
Because you are going to be so energized, so empowered, so excited to do what you learn — that there’s no way you’ll be able to sit still for a second day.
You will run out of this meeting and plan your first big word of mouth campaign. You’ll do it the next day. It’ll be simple, easy, and cheap.
And you’ll get more customers. Immediately.
And then you’ll do it again. A little bigger. And again. A lot bigger.
And then you’ll be bringing in more customers for free, every day, because your fans will tell their friends how much they love you.
But I’d rather spend all my money on expensive advertising!
You go, girl. Advertising might work for you. Not us.
Advertising is the price of being boring.
You only have two ways to get your message out there: Love or money.
You can buy advertising, you can pay people to talk for you. But you always pay, every time — forever.
But when people talk for love instead of money, it’s sustainable and renewable and it grows with use instead of getting used up.
Now is the time to build an army of fans who will talk about you for free because they love you.
Find out how you can stop paying for ads and start earning love:

Love? Happiness? WTF?
This isn’t Woodstock. We’re talking about selling stuff.
Zappos sold $1 BILLION in shoes because their customers love them.
Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh will be joining us to tell you exactly how he did it — and how you can too.
(We do it here at GasPedal with 10 employees and some clever interns. It works for any size company. It’ll work for you.)
You’ll meet Tony and get a copy of his new book, "Delivering Happiness".
Holy moly! Do I get to have lunch with an amazing author?
Yes, you do. It’ll be a tough choice.
- Hugh MacLeod – Cartoonist and creative muse to entrepreneurs everywhere. Author of "Ignore Everybody".
- Jeanne Bliss – Who turned Lands’ End into the beacon of unmatchable customer service. Author of "I Love You More Than My Dog".
- Douglas Atkin – The Meetup.com Fellow who knows why people tattoo logos on their arms. Author of "The Culting of Brands".
- Paul Gillin – BtoB social media guru who shows how to make it real. Author of "Secrets of Social Media Marketing".
- Brian Solis – Megablogger pioneer who will help you connect and engage with your fans. Author of "Engage".
- Josh Bernoff – The guru of big-business social media who knows how word of mouth happens in global enterprises. Author of "Groundswell".
This is not what you are expecting.
No panels, no vendors, no blather, no selling.
30 speakers. 20 minutes each. TED-conference style. It’s fast, it’s fascinating, and new ideas come shooting at you like marshmallows from a marshmallow gun.
Why TED-style? Because if it’s good enough for Billy Graham, Bill Gates, and Bill Clinton, it’s good enough for us marketing dudes.
But I hate conferences!!
This is not a conference. You won’t find yourself locked in a dark hotel ballroom with scary carpet and bad light for three days.
One invigorating, intense day in a sunny room on the river. 20-foot windows and blue skies. An environment to open your spirit and open your mind to ideas that will change how you do business forever.
You’ll be refreshed, excited, and ready to do it.
And great food, all the time. We’ll keep you on a sugar and caffeine high. (I’m sure there will be a broccoli, if you’d rather have that.)
