Buzz, Viral and Word of Mouth are terms which are sometimes used interchangeably.

Lets try and demystify these terms with a brief definition and a detailed presentation on Viral Marketing.

Buzz Marketing - A publicity gimmick which generates PR and gets the media biggies talking about you. Typically a weird and wacky stunt that serves as a great story for the media.

Viral Marketing - Online advertising campaigns that depend on peer to peer forwarding to spread like a virus

Word of Mouth - This is the Holy Grail. It is the sharing of opinion on a product or service typically after one has experienced it.

A detailed presentation has been attached. The viral examples are from an Indian Context. The rest of the content is universally applicable.
