Brand and reputation ranks as one of the most valuable corporate assets – (second only to people who are at the top of the list, according to studies).
Johannesburg based, Vuma Reputation Management’s focus is to protect, develop and enhance corporate reputation through well planned, world-class strategic communication. Critical to managing the responsibility of protecting the image of some of South Africa’s top listed companies is the consultancy’s specialisation in crisis communication, for which it has a solid track record.
The news of its association with Docleaf, leading UK based authority in crisis communications, crisis management and trauma counseling, is “a unique and invaluable opportunity to draw from global thought leaders and impart world-class skills locally,” says Janine Hills, CEO of Vuma Reputation Management. “This global alliance positions us on a new level – launches us into an incredible new orbit, provides added value to our clients, and it’s an absolute privilege to be associated with a power-house in the league of Docleaf.”
Established in 1998, Docleaf has helped more than 200 clients in the UK and around the world to avoid, manage and recover from the impact of the 21st century’s increasing variety of social, economic, political, technological, and environmental crises. These clients include businesses, trade associations, financial institutions and government. With a 97% retention rate amongst over 50 retained clients, Docleaf is one of the few companies that provides a comprehensive 24/7 response service.
Vuma Reputation Management joins Docleaf as the official South African associate of its recently launched global crisis communications network, with representatives spanning the globe from Canada, the USA and Australia, to Singapore, India, Greece and Dubai.
The South African consultancy’s rationale with the Docleaf business alignment is to think globally and act locally. “No matter what your experience - vital information is learned in every crisis situation because of the unique circumstances surrounding each case,” says Hills. “Thought leadership can guide in times of crisis. The opportunity to draw from the client experience of experts from around the world is a huge advantage for all the specialists in Docleaf’s network.”
The global experts will work on a referral basis with a cross pollination of business from around the world. Knowledge sharing will be a key component of the network and representatives will connect together on a regular basis to ensure that they are updated on the latest global crisis communications issues set against current world affairs.
