Managing Reputational Risk in Sport – episode 9 of the Rostrum Agency podcast is now available.
Each episode of ‘Managing Reputational Risk’ examines the communications response to a negative reputational issue. Episode nine features a conversation with Ben Nichols, a PR professional who has overseen the communications response to a number of crises in sport.
Hosted and produced by Rostrum’ director of Reputation, in-house media trainer and crisis lead Grant Bather, the podcast looks at how sport has become business and how this has changed how teams, and sports stars are viewed.
The discussion with Ben takes in issues involving golf, tennis and athletics and spans Ben’s career in sports communications. Throughout the conversation Ben and Grant turn to the need for a reputational plan and how this must flex with the issue. It also looks at how crises that are slow burning need a distinct, different approach to immediate crises. The conversation also touches on situations when politics and sport mix and provides insight on media messaging.
Rostrum’s podcast series devoted to protecting and managing reputation looks at all facets of a media storm, with insight from HR professionals, lawyers, in-house marketing teams, communications professionals and more. It also seeks to provide tips for proactive reputation management to help individuals and organisations minimise and mitigate their exposure to potential crisis events.
Each episode offers practical insight and focuses on real life examples, historical and contemporary.
