WHAT WE DO
Critical Communications
Reputation & Issues Management

Reputation & Issues Management   Social Media   A corporate reputation can be crushed in mere minutes when bad news goes viral. It’s no longer possible to exclude blogs, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube from your communications planning. Sharon Merrill can help your company quickly get up to speed in social media.

As a first step, we’ll focus on preventing the unauthorized use of your brand and product names on social networking websites. Then we’ll help you establish processes for keeping tabs on what’s being said about your company in the social media universe, responding to misinformation immediately, and using social media proactively in your communications program.
