Today, brand risks extend far beyond security responsibilities to governance, risk, compliance, and reputational issues arising online and across social media platforms. Those new risks, especially reputational risks, must be managed, and smart marketing teams are taking action to proactively monitor and protect their brands.
Brand monitoring must go beyond just measuring sentiment, so organisations can get visibility below the surface of public perception. In doing so, they can identify the true nature of the reputational risk and hone in and take action on those situations-in-making that can have a real business impact.
Brands are increasingly focused on listening for online activity involving their organisations. But they have put an emphasis on measuring audience sentiment to firefight instances of negative brand perception, especially those expressed over social media channels. Is that really enough to protect them from the reputational risks and other business risks stemming from the broadening online landscape? No. Organisations require deeper, contextual insight into the situations driving sentiment. Social media and more comprehensive online brand monitoring tools should enable companies to hone in on potential threats that might make or break their business. Armed with that intelligence, brands can be better prepared to tackle risks that can become events that spiral out of control and to prevent any negative perception and further damage from forming as a result.

FINAL THOUGHT – that Rupert will grown up in a world where despite media influence the very thought of corporate affairs and PR will be formulaic and simply outdated. He will design his life and maybe his children’s life using tools and networks of interaction whereby they relate to and trust outside of formal institutions ( brands, products, governments, services, etc.) to deal with day to day issues and increasingly even solve huge, seemingly intractable problems - the future of real time is “future time” – the “what” and “when” you want your life to be. This will be in the form of data-driven rich tools and products. Current apps stand only on the threshold of what is possible. They will see predicted real time as solutions and that data will connect them – and this will engender greater trust. So for Rupert and your own children’s sake – remember: Google never forgets ( unless the European Union tells it to do so)
