Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Lis Anderson is founder and director at PR consultancy AMBITIOUS and an agency MD with over 20 years in the communications industry. As the famous quote from Warren Buffet goes, “It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it.” Mr. Buffet offered this pearl of wisdom almost a decade ago. Since then, the digital revolution has well and truly taken over. And so, even though this quote still rings true today, I think it needs updating. Thanks to the digital world, everything is faster. You can now build a reputation much faster, but you can also ruin it more quickly. Forget five minutes—try 0.5 seconds or however quickly you can click a mouse. “Cancel culture” is rife, and it is not just celebrities who need to be careful. Business leaders and brands are also under fire. An errant tweet or damning online review can have huge repercussions on corporate reputation and, ultimately, a … [Read more...] about Get Proactive About Your Online Reputation

Rafael Leao Is Finally Exploding, With Milan’s Rough Diamond Becoming Its Clutch Player
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin It’s sight that has become more and more familiar as the Serie A season draws to a thrilling climax: Rafael Leao bearing down on goal and scoring for Milan. In the 55 th minute against Atalanta at a near sold out San Siro in a match Milan simply had to win, Leao latched on to Junior Messias’ through ball down the centre of the pitch, outpaced Teun Koopmeiners, raced into the box and slotted the ball through the legs of Juan Musso to give Milan the lead. It was yet another clutch moment from a player who has produced so many of them in the title run-in. Leao’s 11 th league goal of the season broke the tension inside San Siro, calmed the nerves of many of his teammates, and allowed the Rossoneri to score another — Theo Hernandez’s coast-to-coast stunner — and secure the win that in all likelihood will see Milan win their first Scudetto since 2010/11. Leao has, in the final few months of the season, began to show why … [Read more...] about Rafael Leao Is Finally Exploding, With Milan’s Rough Diamond Becoming Its Clutch Player

How Homeland Security Responded To Its Own Disinformation Crisis
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The Department of Homeland Security, which recently established a Disinformation Governance Board to study the best practices for fighting the harmful effects of disinformation, now finds itself embroiled in a disinformation crisis of its own. The Washington Post reported that the work of the new board has been put on hold after its head, Nina Jankowicz, was the victim of online attacks, the organization was criticized and the Biden administration struggled to respond. “The Board’s purpose has been grossly mischaracterized; it will not police speech,” the DHS DHS spokesperson said. ‘Quite the opposite, its focus is to ensure that freedom of speech is protected.’’ Jankowicz “has been subjected to unjustified and vile personal attacks and physical threats,” a DHS spokesperson told The Post in a statement. “In congressional hearings and in media interviews, the Secretary has repeatedly defended her as … [Read more...] about How Homeland Security Responded To Its Own Disinformation Crisis

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin “I think I’m going to take some time off to just process what happened during this first half of the year,” my client said to me as we peered at each other through a video screen. She is the CEO of a manufacturing company and has been caught up in all the intense work of scenario planning, adjusting the strategy, keeping the team together , and making sure their revenue is still coming in the door. Good idea. The first half of 2020 has been quite a ride and it’s a good moment to reflect on it and think about what you want to build in the second half of the year.
