Always work with animals…

How we wanted lifeguards to be seen as part of the RNLI

How things often really are

Key themes from UK RepTrak™ Pulse 2011

Fact: Reputations have not imploded! Trust in charities is higher than ever.

Trend: Year over year, average reputations among the largest UK charities have improved.

Action: Seize the opportunity! Charities are trusted to pick up the slack form Government cuts

and „Big Society‟ initiatives.

1

Fact: Stakeholders are savy - it is not enough to rely on high awareness or strong

results

Trend: Products & Services and Governance continue to be the biggest drivers of reputation.

However, in 2011 other reputation dimensions are increasingly more important.

Action: Develop a Reputation Platform with 3 core pillars:

Deliver high quality innovative products and services

Practice transparent and ethical business, treat employees well and engage with

society

Articulate a clear vision for the future and deliver on expectations

2

Fact: Strong Relationship Between “Reputation” and “Recommendation” - If you improve

reputation by 5 points, support goes up 6.5%..

Trend: Across industries and stakeholders, there is an increasing link between reputation,

behavior and value

Action: Activate stakeholder insight and engage business functions to help them drive growth,

sales, customer loyalty and other business objectives.
