Are You Prepared For A Business Reputation Crisis?

Prevention is better than cure, trust us, we know all too well the devastating impact of reputational damage to businesses, brands and individuals. And it pays to be prepared for a business reputation crisis.

It can affect you in ways you’ve probably never thought of. A reputation crisis hits your sales and growth, deterring existing and prospective customers. It puts off your investors, shareholders, stakeholders, banks, suppliers, and potential employees. And it impacts what your employees, friends and community think about you.

A business reputation crisis won’t happen to me…

You might think it will never happen to you. Our experience says it could, and probably will, at some point.

• 46% of companies we surveyed in 2018 are being damaged by or are worried about negative content online – that’s gone up by a staggering 29% since 2014.

Why? It’s because in today’s online first world, companies risk losing 22% of business when people find just 1 negative article online and that goes up to a whopping 70% with 4 or more negatives. Damaging content has already cost 1 in 20 UK companies more than £500,000 and 1 in 7 have lost up to £50,000.

Which is why it pays to be smart and plan ahead with proactive reputation management and a plan in place to handle a crisis when you need it. We’ve felt our clients’ pain and we’ve helped them to recover from it.
