Reputation matters. Your brand identity is underpinned by your reputation. How you talk and are viewed publicly can make or break your firm. Companies are under increasing pressure from a host of stakeholders who expect to work with a company with a good reputation; building and maintaining that reputation, like everything, is a process.
