The Reputation Challenge: Building Corporate Reputation to Drive Business Performance

By Aneysha Pearce

Prophet, May 1, 2009 — Corporate reputation must be built. It must be supported and managed. And, it must be an authentic reflection of the business — its culture, value system, and behaviors.

Walt Disney Co. has struck a deal with Verizon Wireless that will allow it to remain in wireless contact with its theme park visitors — even when they step outside the turnstiles in Anaheim and Orlando, Fla.

Disney and Verizon bill it as a way to enhance the "theme park experience," enabling parkgoers to use their mobile phones for tasks such as saving a spot in line at a popular ride and zeroing in on where Cinderella can be found signing autographs.

Study: Coke Is Most Talked About Brand in America

Brandweek, October 23, 2008 — According to a new study released by the Keller Fay Group, Coca-Cola is currently the most talked about brand in America. The ranking was drawn from 25,142 consumer conversations conducted between January and August 2008.

Its chief cola rival, Pepsi, came in fourth place, right behind AT&T (2) and Verizon (3). The findings come from Keller Fay Group's TalkTrack analysis, which examines word-of-mouth conversations held both on and offline. This is the first time the data has been broken down as such.
