- 2. About The Face-to-Face Book The Face-to-Face Book presents a unique, research-backed point of view about the value of real relationships in a time when social media has taken center stage. Companies are pouring billions into Facebook and Twitter, hoping that they have finally found the holy grail of marketing. But, the fact remains that it is the in-person conversations that still matter most. Based on six years of research by the award-winning word of mouth research firm, the Keller Fay Group, the Face-to-Face Book presents a multitude of case studies and research studies that show that: •Over 90% of conversations still take place offline, primarily face to face, with less than 8% occurring online •Human beings are fundamentally wired to be social and are highly influenced by direct, in- person conversations •Large companies, such as Apple, General Mills, Kimberly Clark and Toyota have been successful by integrating WOM into their advertising and marketing campaigns •Consumers often reference other forms of media when they are talking about a brand, making the case that advertising can be designed to spark WOM conversation www.kellerfay.com 2
