CJU 2009 Keynote Speaker: Jackie Huba
If you liked Guy Kawasaki last year, you are going to LOVE Jackie Huba this year!
Jackie Huba researches, writes and consults about the effects of word of mouth on
customer loyalty. Forbes calls her work "the word of mouth gospel."
Jackie was recently ranked #8 on the 100 Most Influential Online Marketers of 2008
Jackie is co-author of two seminal books on the subject: Citizen Marketers: When
People are the Message, which documents the emerging world of social media and
how brands should begin to embrace a participatory culture with customers and
fans. That book, which introduced the world to the idea of The 1% Rule, has been
widely adopted by high school and college instructors as a teaching tool for
understanding the fast-changing world of media and public relations. Jackie's first
book, Creating Customer Evangelists: How Loyal Customers Become a Volunteer Sales
Force (2003), explains how companies successfully create brand-loving evangelists
who spread the word and become a safety net of loyalty. Translated into six languages,
that book's terminology of "customer evangelism" has become a talking point and
strategic focus for companies around the world.
Jackie co-writes the award-winning
Church of the Customer blog;
with more than 120,000 daily readers, it's ranked as one of the most popular
business blogs in the world. She's also co-founder of the Society for Word of Mouth,
an educational network that helps its several thousand members build word of mouth
into the DNA of their organizations.
We can't wait to have Jackie kick off CJU 2009!
