A new report delivers insights from 30 communications and PR leaders across Asia-Pacific, providing a compelling picture of the issues defining reputation management in the region. Produced by PRCA APAC, ‘Reputation: The APAC Perspectives Report 2024’ features viewpoints from in-house communications and PR agency leaders based in 14 Asia-Pacific cities, ensuring a welcome breadth of geographic diversity. In no particular order, here are five takeaways from the research: 🧩 Media fragmentation and trust issues are flagged by a number of the study's authors. The situation is worsened by social media algorithms that create echo chambers, spreading misinformation and intensifying societal polarisation. 💼 Several of the the report's contributors highlight how effective crisis and issues management starts by prioritising internal stakeholders. Employee engagement, accordingly, emerges as a critical means of navigating the VUCA era. 🤖 The rapid evolution of technology, particularly AI, alongside the intentional implementation of DEI practices, are identified as significant opportunities in terms of reputation management. While AI is seen as being to able to enhance productivity and creativity, DEI initiatives can drive positive societal change in Asia-Pacific. 🔍 All of the issues above also require a level of transparency and authenticity that has not always been prioritised in Asia-Pacific markets. This may sound obvious, but PRovoke Media's Crisis Review regularly reveals how authentic communication is too often overlooked, leading to ineffective reputation management and significant financial losses. ✅ While the scale of the 'ESG backlash' is not quite as significant as in Western markets, the report nevertheless advises a measure of caution amid the twin trends of greenwashing and green-hushing. Specifically, that means rising above superficial ESG efforts and genuinely committing to ethical behaviour. Organizations must align their actions with their stated values to build and maintain stakeholder trust — that this point is so clearly advocated suggests that it remains a challenge for many in the Asia-Pacific region.
