This conference explored how charities can assess, strengthen and protect their reputations.
We discussed how to understand and manage external perceptions of your brand, plan for a crisis, create a corporate reputation strategy, build an internal culture that protects from the inside-out, manage celebrity ambassadors and deal with the new threats and opportunities presented by social media.
This event was supported by Spencer du Bois.
