“Under this header are 
those persons who, on the 
basis of their training

more knowing about it than 
the average consumer.” 
Ernest

horsemeat in the burgers?) 
with “Our food, Your 
questions.”, a webseries

Grant Imahara.

Passionat e Fans
Customers listen to 
knowledgable, 
passionate fans (brand 
advocates) because 
they have great 
knowledge about 
the product.
Ernest 
Dichter 
says: 
“The connoisseur may 
know as much or more 
bout the product and its 
background than the 
expert, but he does not 
make his living in 
connection with it; he 
merely enjoys it and his 
know-how about it.”
Offers shared by 
trusted advocates 
convert at 4-10x higher rate than 
offers sent by brands.

You might have

It has entertained 
children across 
three generations... 
though much of 
its fanbase was 
not born when 
the movies were 
first sreened.
Guessed right, you did.

a referral because: 
1. Its backed by 
industry experts 
2. Its endorsed by 
celebrities 
3. It comes from 
friends/family 
4. Its backed by the 
knowledge of a 
brand advocate
