An executive contacted ReputationDefender to clear his company’s name after an ex-employee’s dispute with the business went viral. Years after the company resolved the dispute, articles about the conflict were still appearing when people googled the company or its leadership team, thereby giving potential stakeholders a negative first impression and leading to lost business.
Outcome
Even in this highly challenging case, we were able to achieve rapid initial success on the most visible negative items, with only one negative result briefly reappearing twice on the bottom of the first page beyond 14 months.
A well-known company garnered negative publicity after a public figure repeatedly disparaged it in the press. This increased attention, combined with the amount of easily accessible personally identifiable information (PII) online about the company’s workforce, made the workers vulnerable to hackers, scammers, and other bad actors.
Outcome
ReputationDefender’s Special Projects team was able to find and remove 97% of the employees’ PII within eight weeks of starting the engagement.
Problem A respected philanthropist contacted ReputationDefender to help him suppress negative news coverage in his search results stemming from a minor altercation that happened to be captured on a television broadcast.
Outcome Despite the challenging nature of this case, we were able to achieve rapid initial success on most negative items, with only one particularly difficult search result (a video carousel) persisting beyond Month 7.
Problem Oil and gas companies face unique challenges in protecting their cybersecurity and their employees’ physical safety due to the rising threat of AI and the intense and often polarized online discourse surrounding fossil fuels and environmental concerns.
Outcome Locking down their executives’ online privacy can help these companies safeguard employees and operations and maintain public trust in an increasingly contentious digital landscape.
