The first stage of a reputation protection strategy is to be prepared. We help identify known risks to the corporate brand and put in place action to protect the privacy of the directors and senior executives.
Such measures can include training for key staff, a legal audit of reputational risks, protecting directors’ private details, auditing staff contracts and non-disclosure agreements. We even offer workshops on privacy for directors.
We work with organisations and officers on an ongoing basis to identify potential media issues and minimise the chances of a media crisis. With in-house legal teams and advisors, we help prevent unwelcome publications and broadcasts, anticipate unknown media risks, monitor brand protection and reputation risks, advise on regulatory investigations and on issues such as advertising and marketing clearance.
We encourage organisations and officers to call us as soon as a potential pre-publication problem arises, whether it's an approach from a newspaper journalist, the suggestion that a disaffected employee might be out to cause trouble or a concern that press scrutiny will become more intense.
The aim is to ensure a company understands the options at its disposal, enabling an informed decision on strategy to be made.
