Reputational Management

Overview

Ever since society began, reputation has been critical to success. The 18th century poet Alexander Pope wrote that “With every word, a reputation dies”: wise citizens from Benjamin Franklin to Warren Buffett have noted that reputations are built slowly and carefully – and destroyed in an instant. 

In our era of 24/7 communication and information, reputation is more central – and more vulnerable – than ever. Our online lives form our reputation: it is out there, subject to appraisal, criticism, evaluation on a constant basis. For individuals, it shapes our identity: for companies and institutions, reputation determines their value. Trust and credibility are generated by reputation. Business success is more dependent on reputation than any other factor. As Elisabeth Arden said…. reputation makes customers. And today more than ever.

Reputation and brand are inextricable: but reputation is broader than brand. It encompasses all the stakeholders, from customers to employees to shareholders to communities. And all are active online, in the unending maelstrom of social media.

So is our company’s reputation, our institution’s reputation, beyond our control? Not exactly. We can make some smart moves to manage reputation, even though it’s others who create it. 

And the first is to measure it. If the world of social media exposes reputation to impact from all directions, it also makes it easier to track and assess. ANCORED will do this - comprehensively, analytically, intelligently. Armed with this data, we can advise which levers to pull, which policies to adopt. We can suggest how best to communicate, which messages are most effective, where and with whom. We can propose partnerships and alliances whose haloes will shine the brightest – and do the most good in the world. We can recommend which actions to take, which strategies to embrace – to protect and enhance reputation. And then we can measure it again…and recalibrate…
