The difference between Public Relations and Reputation Management

1     PR is measured in media exposure.   Reputation Management is measured in improved performance.

 2    PR is focussed on damage control.   Reputation Management is focussed on damage prevention and brand rehabilitation.

 3    PR is about "spin".   Reputation Management is about substance.

      You need Corporate Reputation Management if ...

  1. You have a great company, but people who matter have never heard of you
  2. Your competitors are not as good, but have a higher market share than you

  3.  Your industry sector is under threat through no fault of yours

  4. Your customer base is under threat from more aggressive competitors

  5. Your staff lack a clear focus on the values you stand for and how to project them to customers
