​"We don’t need PR: we have a good reputation"
​
It’s not just about having a good, current reputation, it’s about protecting, maintaining and enhancing that established reputation to ensure your audiences continue to understand and support your brand. It takes time to build a good reputation and just a moment to damage it - alongside your profit lines.
Consumers (even loyal ones) will change their buying habits based on your business behaviours or if they perceive dissonance in your values and ethics.
​
Companies with good reputations already need excellent and consistent PR in place, it’s good business practice. It’s about avoiding the crisis and effectively damage limitation and recovery should one occur.
