Why CEOs Need To Manage Their Reputations
There’s nothing worse for a brand manager than finding negative content online when searching for their company name or the name of their CEO. Perhaps your company made headlines for the wrong reasons. Alternatively, perhaps a few poor reviews have become a source of irritation for you. Negative content on page one can adversely affect your company’s bottom line and brand. However, with the right online reputation management strategy, it is possible to ensure the positives take center stage.
The problem may not be with your brand.
In the public eye, many brands are intrinsically linked to their founder or CEO. When a key person in the company has a reputation problem, then your brand has a reputation problem.
Brands That Trust Us
Celebrity online reputation management
Celebrity reputations are already under the microscope – as they’re a public figure, so are even more analysed by the media. An agent isn’t enough, you need a celebrity reputation management agency.
Influencers and celebrities feature in branded campaigns for a living. Negative information in celebrity search results can stay in the public sphere for a lifetime, that’s why celebrity reputation management services are important.
Financial Impact of celebrity reputation management
One negative review or bad press story is enough to create a poor digital reputation and warn off brands from wanting to work with you – damaging revenue streams, as well as business opportunities.
An Eye On Online Reputation
Investors, analysts, and the financial press are no longer the primary curators of a company’s or executive’s public image.
As a result of the digital revolution, the public is more able to participate than ever before. Even companies with limited direct contact with consumers may find that people have strong opinions about their CEO and express these views on a variety of online platforms.
Financial Impact Of CEO Reputation Management
An organisation’s online reputation is crucial to securing investors and establishing strategic partnerships. Alternatively, if a brand’s CEO is a loose cannon, critical relationships can be undermined.
The reputation of chief executives can vary greatly, from the squeaky-clean Tim Cook to the maverick Elon Musk who in turn introduces unwanted reputational risk.
The reputation of the CEO is critical in fostering brand trust, which in turn helps retain loyal employees. As a result, the cost of constantly training new employees is reduced.
An organisation cannot afford to underestimate the impact its executive leadership has on its brand.
Managing Reputational Risks
Having a bad reputation can threaten a business’s growth. A company’s reputation is at risk if negative publicity, public perception, or uncontrollable incidents negatively impact it.
It is impossible to discuss Tesla or SpaceX without mentioning Elon Musk. On top of that, he has established himself as a brand, promoting his own background and promoting nicknames like “The real-life Iron Man.” Not every CEO wants to be famous, but it is a byproduct of running a popular brand. As a result of social media, CEOs are more visible than ever before. Mistakes are taken very personally by customers.
