300+ Online Reputation Management Resources
In a couple hours, at a PRSA Chicago luncheon, I will be discussing online reputation management on a panel that includes:
- Sandra Guy, technology columnist, Chicago Sun-Times
- David Pelzer, vice president, industry image and relations, Dairy Management, Inc.
- Dr. Leslie Gaines-Ross, chief reputation strategist, Weber Shandwick
For the luncheon attendees, I compiled a list of resources that serves as a primer on how to manage corporate reputations online. In total, there are about 40 links below that point to more than 300 resources (many of the links contain laundry lists of additional resources themselves). Feel free to suggest additional resources in the comments.
I think Gary Vaynerchuk’s two-minute video below is the essential foreword to embracing social media and managing your reputation online.
