How we work on it

Inside Reputation & Communications.

Reputation is the sum of what other people say about you when you are not in the room: journalists, analysts, review sites, search results and the trade. It is earned rather than bought, which is why it takes longer and holds better than advertising.

Frequently asked

Questions about reputation & communications.

Can you guarantee placements?

No. Guaranteed placement is paid placement, which is legitimate when disclosed and is a different product to earned media.

How is this measured?

Share of voice against named competitors, quality of outlet against your buyer audience, search result composition, and inbound attributable to coverage.

What about paid PR packages?

Widely sold in India, rarely effective. Buyers and journalists both recognise them. We will tell you when a paid route is honest and useful, and when it is money burnt.
