Description
Understanding why certain products and ideas become popular is crucial for businesses, politicians, and individuals looking to spread information. Jonah Berger, a Wharton marketing professor, has spent a decade studying this phenomenon and reveals the secret science behind word-of-mouth and social transmission in his book Contagious.
Berger explains how six basic principles drive the spread of information, from consumer products to workplace rumors and online content. He shares specific examples, such as how a luxury steakhouse found popularity through the lowly cheesesteak, and provides actionable techniques for designing messages and content that people will share.
Whether you're looking to boost awareness for your business, spread a message as a politician, or get the word out as a health official, Contagious offers practical advice on how to make your product or idea catch on.
