“It’s critical for athletes and sports teams alike to maintain a positive reputation, but these professionals face intense scrutiny from the media and fans alike. One mistake can jeopardize an entire career or playing season,” said Gary Truitt, founder and chief strategist of Fat Brain Interactive. “Rumors run rampant on Facebook and Twitter, and once people perceive an individual or organization in a certain way, it can be difficult to reverse it. Our expanded services make it easier for athletes and teams to manage and maintain their reputations both online and in the real world.”
Professional athletes across the globe are engaging in online reputation management as a way to combat negative press, rumors and criticism that are rampant in today’s social media-driven society. For these athletes, a poor reputation can affect endorsement deals and the level of interest they receive from teams in the future. Many athletes have also had their personal information — such as cell phone numbers and email addresses — shared with millions of people on the Internet. In addition, sports teams often need online reputation management solutions to help them deal with countless rumors spread through social media, blogs, forums and other digital platforms.
Fat Brain Interactive offers a number of proven strategies to boost the online reputation of athletes and sports teams, including cohesive reputation assessments, press mitigation and response, social profile optimization, content monitoring and legal trademark protection. The firm also offers privacy issues management, public relations optimization and news release writing and distribution.
