REPUTATIONMANAGEMENT
The BP oil disaster hit worldwide news
BP acted fast and responded with this
Bad press surrounding Primark and poor working conditions
Ethical Trading website created to combat negative PR
Film released highlighting the danger McDonald’s can have on your health
McDonald’s have added nutrition details but not kicked back at the press
A billboard in Times Square did not go down well with some female bloggers
By not responding correctly to emails from bloggers, the complaint spread EVERYWHERE
Social media makes reputation management even more important
Don’t just worry about your Online reputation. Offline still matters!
