Why seek to create buzz

Buzz marketing aims to provoke a wave of conversations around an idea, an operation or a piece of content. Done well, it delivers visibility far beyond its cost — but it can't be improvised.

I convey the drivers of an operation that gets people talking: the idea, emotion, timing and amplification, plus risk management so the buzz doesn't backfire.

Lots of echo, little budget: a good idea well orchestrated beats a big, poorly spent budget.

Frequently asked questions

You may be wondering…

Can buzz really be controlled?
Never fully. We maximise the chances and prepare for risk, but uncertainty is part of the game.
How is it different from viral marketing?
Buzz aims to create the event and word of mouth; viral relies on the sharing mechanic. They often combine.
Do we need influencers?
Often useful to amplify, but a strong idea can suffice. We assess case by case.
How to avoid bad buzz?
Through anticipation: we identify risks and prepare responses before launch.
