Misinformation and disinformation are rampant, placing companies under unprecedented pressure to preserve their reputation. Today’s increasingly complex and data driven market is one explanation for this dilemma. For example, generative AI is making it easier to create realistic but misleading content at scale, impacting people’s beliefs and ultimately, diminishing trust. Likewise, the volume of unchecked opinions that can be spread by casual users on social media creates an additional set of challenges around controlling a corporate narrative. Therefore, effective reputation management solutions are more important than ever for all organisations.

This session will focus on: 

• How it's now possible to positively transform a company's reputation through deep analytics, enabling communicators to share forward-looking insights with leadership and build trust with key stakeholders. 
• Generate insights that not only build on what people think, feel and say, but also provide real-time competitive intelligence that helps predict the actions your company can (& should) take to build and protect reputation, outperform peers, and engage across multiple stakeholders.
