“You build a brand. You earn a reputation.” Just one of a myriad pearls of wisdom Ray Day, executive chair at Allison Worldwide and vice chair at Stagwell Group, shared with PRWeek’s Gideon Fidelzeid during this podcast. Reputation has always been among every company’s most important assets and every brand communicator’s most vital responsibilities. The associated challenges, though, have never been more daunting due to the unprecedented amount of uncertainty we all face today — societally, economically and otherwise. How do you combat that as a communicator? By being data-led, digital-first and future-focused. By being comfortable with the noise. By mastering the admittedly difficult balancing act of appealing to stakeholders on both sides of the political aisle. And by understanding and respecting the emotions of your key audiences. The intelligence you need to do all this is there for you — including in two pieces of recent research and a plethora of inspiring examples that are referenced throughout this conversation.
