Video: Getting Stuck on Sugarland at WOMMfest

Even country music stars use word of mouth marketing.

Grammy winning superstar Kristian Bush of the hit music duo Sugarland has used WOMM, and a little bit of love, to grow their brand to five No. 1 singles on the Billboard country music charts and of course, the Georgia Music Hall of Fame.

See a closer glimpse at this dynamic and larger than life musical duo.

Watch the full video at the WOMMA YouTube page or see Kristian live at WOMMfest in Atlanta Feb. 19.
