Reputation Management
We know that your reputation, like ours, is one of your most valuable assets. A well-respected brand takes years to build and minutes to destroy.
Meet the team
In an increasingly connected and content-driven world, reputations can be tarnished instantly and result in significant loss of business, revenue and goodwill.
Threats to reputation and brand derive from a variety of sources including social media, litigation, regulatory investigations, published content, intellectual property infringement, defamation, misuse of private information, hacking and cyber security crises, data breaches, employees’ out of hours activities, human error and criminality and occupational stress/injury/discrimination.
With our multi-disciplinary teams of sectoral experts, we work closely with clients to develop both online and off-line reputation management strategies, to anticipate and minimise threats to reputation, to create water-tight policies and to respond appropriately and expeditiously when a crisis emerges in order to protect business brands and talent.
