What is reputation? Reputation is the subjective qualitative belief a person has regarding a brand, person, company, product, or service.
In today’s digital environment, reputation is more important, more pervasive, more unforgettable, and more meaningful than ever before. It’s surprisingly easy to neglect, abuse, reject, or even intentionally shred someones' reputation. Reputations, whether corporate or personal, can be difficult to build, sustain, and protect. Reputation damage can happen in minutes, doesn't need to be based on fact, and the blast radius of a reputation scandal can circle the globe within hours.

- 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.

As the term "sentiment analysis" suggests, a basic goal in sentiment analysis is to classify the polarity of a given text. Sentiment analysis does this by looking at the document, sentence or entity feature / aspect and assigning it a polarity — positive, negative, or neutral. Beyond polarity sentiment classification, however, has even more advanced possibilities. For example, it can assign emotional states to texts such as "angry", "sad", and "happy".
Sentiment analysis provides insights into the opinions and emotions that people express about your brand, product, or service online. It uses natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning to quickly identify the tone of text, video, or images, which can help brands to identify and react to negative reviews, articles, or other mentions.
