Energizing Norton Advocates, Driving Sales

Fuggetta’s presentation, which will be held at 4:45 PM on Thursday, November 19, 2009, is entitled “Energizing Norton Advocates, Driving Sales.” The presentation will showcase the award-winning Norton Advocates program. Fuggetta will be joined on the podium by a senior representative from the Norton consumer brand of Symantec.

Powered by Zuberance, Norton Advocates is the largest and most successful ongoing Brand Advocate program in the world. Since starting Norton Advocates in mid-2008, Norton has identified and/or mobilized over 25,000 Norton customers; doubled its user ratings on leading shopping sites; doubled its WOM Advocacy score, and increased sales.
Importantly, Norton does not pay or provide financial incentives to Advocates to spread positive WOM. Forrester Research, Inc. recently named Norton Advocates enabled by Zuberance as the winner of the prestigious 2009 Forrester Groundswell Award in the Energizing B2C category.

“We are delighted to welcome Norton and Rob Fuggetta of Zuberance to this year’s WOMMA Summit,” said Kristin Horstman, CMP, Director of Education and Events, WOMMA. “The Norton Advocates program is truly a remarkable example of how a brand can energize its authentic Advocates to spread positive WOM and generate measurable increases in sales,” said Horstman.
