About
The Book
This is a new era for public relations. Never before has reputation been so important, and never before so fraught. At a time when thoughtfulness, transparency and authenticity are seen as key tenets, navigating India’s unique cultural, social and economic diversities poses a challenge both for fresh professionals and seasoned leaders. Added to this are emergent technologies across fields. PR professionals have but one choice: adapt to these far-reaching transformations and survive.
The Pursuit of Reputation is a one-stop survival guide to this new world. At the heart of this book lies a profound recognition that the way we communicate is undergoing an enormous shift thanks to the growing influence of social media, the rise of influencers, data-driven decision-making and the blurring of lines between earned, owned and paid media. But with shifts come new opportunities—PR professionals are uniquely placed in this matrix to enhance brand reputation, engage stakeholders and drive impactful campaigns that strongly resonate with consumers. With expert insights from seventy-five acclaimed PR professionals working across industry sectors and geographies, the book offers PR strategies for navigating an uncertain environment. It also envisions a future that PR professionals can build: one based on emotional sensitivity, thoughtful responsibility and a healthy respect for environmental, social and governance issues.
An essential read for anyone seeking to understand the art of crafting reputations.

‘Reputation takes years to build but can be destroyed in a matter of minutes. Hence, in this complex world, reputation management has become an insightful combination of the art and science of communications, and this book establishes the interplay between the two in a lucid manner.

SAM BALSARA
Chairman, Madison World
‘The thin line between marketing, advertising and public relations has blurred over the years. The philosophy of POEMS (paid, owned, earned media strategies) is well explained in this book and I recommend it to every marketing and communications professional. I believe advertisers who spend lakhs of rupees on advertising but don’t use professional PR services are missing out on a valuable marketing driver’
