About The Reputations Agency
The Reputations Agency is a full service Consumer Brand, Corporate PR and
Reputation Management agency and part of Ireland’s biggest ideas company, the
ddfh&b Group and the global JWT network.
Across our three divisions we tell brand stories and manage the reputations of
some of Ireland’s biggest brands. Using global and local insights which shape
and inform our thinking, we deliver smart strategies and great ideas with a single
minded focus - getting your brands and companies talked about.
We are the leading experts in reputation management in Ireland, and exclusive
partners of the global Reputation Institute, with our Ireland RepTrak® Report a
calendar feature for the CEOs of many of Ireland’s best known organisations.
Our TRA Brands team build campaigns from the ground up in partnership with
some of the top marketers in the country. We are a key part of the inter-agency
planning process with some of the most experienced brand experts and freshest
thinkers in the country.
The Corporate and Financial team are PR experts with strategic marketing,
financial, legal and reputation management capability who act as trusted advisors
to leading Irish businesses. We offer analysis, strategy, media relations and
expert counsel to build profiles and engage stakeholders while also providing
issues and crisis management support when organisations need it most.
Working strategically to build your reputation
Reputation Audits – Do you have recent data measuring your
reputation with your most important stakeholder groups? Depending
upon the size of each audience, we can conduct qualitative or
quantitative studies to find out what perceptions your highest priority
stakeholders have of you, what their priorities are, and how willing they
are to support you. This data is vital to inform both communications
and operational strategies to improve reputation and the bottom line.
Stakeholder Prioritisation Workshop – We bring your organisation
through a process that determines who you most need support from to
achieve business success, what type of support you want from each
stakeholder group, and the business value of each of these supports.
This produces a meaningful prioritisation that allows you to set strategic
priorities and budgets for future stakeholder engagement projects.
Reputation Road Map Workshop – Having prioritised stakeholders,
and using insights on current perceptions with them, we lead your
organisation through a process to map out a strategy and action plan
for engaging with your highest priority stakeholders. This plan prepares
you to build out a more professional and structured process for
reputation management. Subsequently, you will be equipped to apply
this process to additional high priority stakeholder groups
On average companies have
nine key stakeholder groups
they need support from.
