STAGWELL MARKETING FRONTIERS

If we asked you who the most famous CEO in America is, who would come to mind? What about the most popular brand? While these feel like simple conversation starters, being “top of mind” for consumers, shareholders, or other stakeholders can translate into incredible value in a crowded marketplace of brands clamoring for attention and profit. In other words – the reputation your brand earns can be crucial to long term success.  

But what comprises corporate and executive reputation is fast changing. Consecutive geopolitical, social and economic crises underscore the importance of brand leadership in dictating how stakeholders relate to and judge your business.  And our data shows an almost direct correlation between reputation and business results; per our 2021 research, half of consumers will change their purchasing habits depending on the reputation of a brand’s CEO.
