Reputation

September 23 - Each year, our Global Corporate Reputation practice conducts interviews with over 150 leading communications and reputation executives globally to understand the trends, issues and concerns facing today’s reputation practitioners.

On May 7, please join Ipsos for an exclusive breakfast presentation about the state of reputation in Canada – how companies are performing now, the impact of the current social and economic context on trust, and how your stakeholder’s future hopes and expectations will influence your reputation in the years to come.

Our latest analysis of corporate reputation management across the world assesses when reputation turbulence becomes a crisis; managing global-v-local reputations; the spread of 'techlash'; the role of the CEO in external communications; as well as how Council members view trust in business; the use of social media in corporate communications; the importance of purpose and CSR; and the role of employees in building reputation strength.
