In today’s consumer environment, companies must be more transparent than ever before. Cynical consumers view a company’s marketing message as only one bit of information in how they form their opinion of that brand. The immediate and democratic nature of the Internet has shifted how companies must treat their consumers. In this environment, objective, third-party endorsements – especially those generated by well-respected media – are more critical than ever.
As the media market continues to fragment, it’s critical that companies strategically manage its brand communications organization.
