Authenticity is like obscenity
“I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so.
But I know it when I see it.”
—Justice Potter Stewart, concurring opinion in Jacobellis v. Ohio 378 U.S. 184 (1964), regarding possible obscenity in The Lovers.

• Carrie’s acerbic tone and wit sets up social norms• Social norms create a kind of trap for Carrie; when she wants to alter the discourse is is not deft enough to do it• Although Carrie embraces her WOM role; but delivery seems extrinsically motivated.

Take Aways
• WOM is a culturally constructed (Kozinets), authenticity has a role in successful construction
• Authenticity has a variety of definitions and dimensions, 360da offers a holistic evaluation
• WOM follows the authenticity constructs for advertising, not conversation

Where to from here?
• Specifically, more guidance for suitable seeded promotion opportunities
• Supports view on WOM as advertising
• Further develops the 360da framework in a social marketing context; contributes to a holistic view on authenticity.
