- Corporate image and corporate reputation are subjective perceptions that affect how people see and interact with your business.
- Corporate image is more about how a brand makes people feel, while reputation includes people’s perceptions of a company’s products, leadership, finances, social responsibility, and interactions with its customers, employees, and community.
- Both corporate image and reputation can impact a company’s revenue and success.
- Even if you have a good corporate reputation, a poor company image can hurt your revenues.
- Incorporating image consulting into your reputation management strategy can improve your brand’s reach and success.
At a first glance, a corporate image and a corporate reputation might seem like synonyms. There are definite similarities between the two: both your corporate image and your corporate reputation are important subjective perceptions that affect not only how people see your business, but also how and if they do business with you.

Measuring the impact of brand reputation
- Measuring the value of the reputation of a brand is important yet challenging.
- Brand reputation is only becoming more valuable.
- Measurement is difficult because reputation is an intangible asset. It is difficult to quantify how people think and feel about your brand.
- One approach to measuring brand reputation is analyzing a company’s stock prices, financial statements, and brand loyalty.
- Companies can measure customer loyalty by looking at their net promoter score, customer loyalty index, customer lifetime value, and/or repeat purchase rate.
- At the core of the challenge of measuring the value of brand reputation is accurately combining the impacts of quantitative vs. qualitative factors.
While there’s no perfect formula for distilling your brand’s reputation down to a definitive number, there are metrics that will make your reputation management campaign much more effective. These metrics typically reflect consumer sentiment by tapping into financial indicators, online consumer behavior, and consumers who are most loyal to your brand.

ORM strategy after a problem occurs
Research shows that, on average, Americans tell 16 people about a bad service experience.
Reputation tragedies can range from negative reviews online to full-blown global media crises. While a media crisis may seem a bigger problem, bad reviews that happen over a longer period of time can be more problematic. Whatever brand sentiment crisis happens, a post-crisis cleanup can help bring consumers back.

- An executive bio is a summary of your professional narrative
- It’s written much the same way as other narratives using key elements about the executive
- Using these seven tips can make your executive biography more engaging and effective
- A shorter version of your executive bio can enhance your resume
- You should keep the length of your bio to a single page to maximize its efficacy
As a professional, whether you’re an entrepreneur or a key figure at a large corporation, there are times when other people and entities want to know who you are in your industry. Resumes can tell them what you do, but a well-written executive profile will convey your real value and personal brand. It can even work to improve your digital footprint and online reputation.
Writing your executive biography yourself will infuse it with your “voice” and make it stand out as a genuine representation, rather than a fill-in-the-black answer sheet.

Strategies to remove negative search results
Just about every company has something they’d like to take off the Internet. What if you could make it happen?
Removing negative content is not a quick and easy task, but it's almost always worth trying (so long as the attempt to remove it doesn't make things worse). Research shows that nearly 45% of people discover things online that change their minds about doing business with a company. If a potential customer reads even one negative review, they aren't likely to click your link or purchase your product.
