17. Defined: Reputation management
Reputation management is the practice of understanding or
influencing an individual or business’ reputation. It was originally
coined as a public relations term, but advancement in
computing, the internet and social media made it primarily an
issue of search results. Although it is often associated with ethical
grey areas such as astroturfing review sites, trying to censor
negative complaints or using gamey SEO tactics to influence
results, there are also ethical forms of reputation
management, such as responding to customer
complaints, asking sites to take down incorrect information and
using online feedback to influence product development.

----- Meeting Notes (12-02-17 13:28) -----People have always been social.Bon-fire----- Meeting Notes (12-02-21 11:26) -----One reason people love food so much is the social aspect. It feels good to converse!
----- Meeting Notes (12-02-17 14:39) -----Back when business was truely social. Owners knew customers.Customers knew owners."Where everybody knows your name"
----- Meeting Notes (12-02-17 14:39) -----Then something happened.Corporate culture became cold and customers became #'s.Companies became too big to know everyone by name.----- Meeting Notes (12-02-27 10:40) -----The people didn't like it but they started to accept it as they way business is done. But then social media came along and things started to change.
----- Meeting Notes (2012-11-27 18:16) -----• On day 1 the campaign received almost 6 million views(that’s more than Obama’s victory speech)• On day 2 old spice had 8 of the 11 most popular videos online• On day 3 the campaign had reached over 20 million views• After the first week old spice had over 40 million views• The old spice twitter following increased 2700% (probably off a lowish base)• Facebook fan interaction was up 800%• Oldspice.com website traffic was up 300%• The old spice YouTube channel became the all time most viewed channel (amazing)• The campain has generated 1.4 billion impressions since launching the ads 6 months ago• The campaign increased sales by 27% over 6 months since launching (year on year)• In the last 3 months sales were up 55%• And in the last month sales were up 107% from the social responses campaign work• Old spice is now the #1 body wash brand for men.
----- Meeting Notes (12-02-23 13:41) -----The signifigance of this change is word of mouth. SM has increased the velocity and reach of word of mouth in a way traditional cannot. At a fraction of the cost. Word of mouth, in order to be effective, is relationship based. The currency of this channel are trust and relevance, this has to be earned. Cannot be bought----- Meeting Notes (12-05-09 11:32) -----A brand's image has always been a function of how people percieve the company. The only difference today is residents are able to share those preceptions with each other.

----- Meeting Notes (12-05-10 13:50) -----Transglobe - Not trying to point fingers here. My intention is to bring you the most value by using an industry case study.
----- Meeting Notes (12-02-23 09:35) -----I'm not trying to single anyone out, but this is highly relevant. The buzz was so big it made for an ideal case analysis. The goal is to learn what happened and what to do and not to do. We'll discuss some things that could have been handled better. ----- Meeting Notes (12-02-24 11:31) -----FB has broken 1000, twitter broken 200, email over 100. People are still sharing!
----- Meeting Notes (12-02-23 10:05) -----The TV program lasted 30 minutes, the real damage happened on the Blogs, twitter feeds, FB pages and is still going on today.Ernest > came off credible, well written, rational > hard to combatSHareowner > the length people will go prove point / may not even be a tenant / investor relations
----- Meeting Notes (12-02-23 10:05) -----Not highlight these points to pass judgement, I want to show you how far people will go when a story about you breaks, they will keep it alive. Transglobe knew months in advance that this story would break, and it appears that no preparation was made. The result? Uncontrolled conversation about you (tenants and public)
----- Meeting Notes (12-02-23 10:05) -----The last piece of your online reputation: search. Google is something we are all familiar with. So in the face of all this what was the official response?

----- Meeting Notes (12-05-10 13:50) -----Word of mouth has always mattered, it just looks different today.
----- Meeting Notes (12-02-15 16:05) -----Who are you looking for?----- Meeting Notes (12-02-22 16:05) -----1) correct misinformation, make remarkable recoveries, answer questions, point towards proper channels, help out!2) listen and learn 3) reward! recognize, incentivize, research----- Meeting Notes (12-02-22 16:07) -----"keep your friends close, hold your enemies closer." to learn! real talk----- Meeting Notes (12-02-23 10:19) -----3) GROW - recruit more of them, the more champions you have the better your company will be (Greenrock ex)

----- Meeting Notes (12-05-09 21:53) -----Step 1: approach person directly (public or private) and ask how you can retify the situationStep 2: Ask them to post an update or take down review
----- Meeting Notes (12-02-23 13:22) -----Radian 6 > hootsuite on sterioids etc----- Meeting Notes (12-05-08 16:29) -----Yelp - there's rumours going around that you can pay Yelp to remove negative reviews if you become an advertiserMyhood.ca - maintains a tight "no remove" policyGoogle Places - Flag as innappropriate, if it violates Google policy they'll pull it down. Business Owner response is the best route.Bedbug registry - no pull down?
