In this digital world, brands get created and killed online in no time. Surveys show that around 91 percent of people read online reviews, and 84 percent trust online reviews as much as a personal recommendation. A single visible negative comment or review about a brand can sow a seed of distrust about the brand, get viral on the web and can eventually affect the corporate’s reputation and negatively impacting its business. Some companies tend to monitor their brand by identifying negatives surfacing about their brand, on a periodic basis and then taking measures or correcting it.

But this ideally should not be the approach. A better more proactive approach is to continuously track your brands online mention across the web, listen to users on social media, understand sentiments and positively engage with by addressing their concerns and there by building a strong buzz of the brand. “Proactively monitoring engaging and continuously creating positive online content and building brand buzz is the key to effective corporate and brand reputation,” states Sanjoy Senapati, Founder & Chief Executive, Webworkz Interactive, who holds two decades of experience in digital media.
