How Effective Online Reputation Management Benefitted Richard Sherman
Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) January 22, 2014 -- Online reputation management is a critical aspect of any business strategy, and the experts at JW Maxx Solutions develop and implement reputation control tactics to suit each of its clients’ specific needs.
Football star Richard Sherman is providing the Internet with the latest example of why an effective online reputation management strategy is vital to anyone who is in the public eye.
The cornerback for the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks faced a wide range of online reactions after giving a controversial interview on the field immediately after a Super Bowl berth-clenching win on Sunday. Some of those reactions relied on racist stereotypes while others made assumptions about his lifestyle and personality off the field.
But Sherman responded as well as he could have – silencing critics and gaining a number of supporters. He’s picked up more than 300,000 Twitter followers since the interview, and has made sure to focus on positive reactions since the interview rather than engage with negativity.
Twitter isn’t the only medium where Sherman has protected his online reputation. The Stanford graduate also wrote a guest column on the NFL website TheMMQB.com to explain his postgame interview, and admitted to another major outlet that he was wrong in the tone and focus of his comments.
“It was loud, it was in the moment, and it was just a small part of the person I am,” Sherman wrote.
Sherman went to great lengths to manage his online reputation, furthering his personal brand by taking proactive measures to combat online negativity.
The online reputation management firm of JW Maxx Solutions uses many of the same tactics that Sherman utilized to boost its clients’ online presence, turning something negative into a positive for brands or going to great lengths to demonstrate that clients have learned from a lapse in judgment.
