Reputation Management
Safeguard what matters most.
Your reputation is built over years and tested in moments. Arize is a Melbourne-based reputation management agency that works on both: building and maintaining trust through proactive monitoring, reporting and counsel, and making sure that when a sensitive moment arrives, you see it coming and know exactly what to do.
Our Reputation Management process includes:
Deep dive: Working with you and your team to identify key areas of risk.
Communications framework: Development of proactive and reactive communications to manage reputational risk, including steps, tools, messaging, response register, scenarios, ratings, and processes on how to manage external communications and stakeholders.
Messaging development and stakeholder briefing: Development of nuanced messaging and tailored training for each stakeholder segment in the case of a crisis arising, including staff, suppliers, customers, the public, and the media.
Cyber incident communications: Crisis plans built for cyber incidents, covering protocols, media materials, internal communications and stakeholder management, with hands-on support when an incident goes live.
Communications strategy: Development of a comprehensive communications strategy based on transparency, timeliness, and availability.
Communications protocol: Mapped out scenarios and processes on how to manage internal communications.
Media monitoring and social listening: Monitoring for keywords and mentions, with as-it-happens updates and regular reporting.
Scenario testing (fire drills): Equip spokespeople with practical advice and tools to communicate clearly in each potential scenario. Includes rehearsing how to communicate under pressure in a simulated environment.
Already in the news?
If it's happening now, preparation time is over and response time matters. We act fast with clear, confident counsel.
Trusted when it counts: We've supported national businesses through cyber incidents, data breaches and sensitive public issues, work that stays confidential by design, which is exactly how our clients like it.
Recovering from negative publicity
If the story has already run, the work shifts from response to recovery. We help businesses rebuild after negative media coverage: assessing the damage honestly, correcting the record where the facts allow it, re-engaging the stakeholders who matter most, and rebuilding your presence with the proactive stories that move the conversation on. Reputations recover faster with a plan than with silence.
Common questions

Yes. Recovery is part of reputation management, and the sooner we start, the more options you have. We assess what's been said, advise on whether to respond, correct or let it pass, and build the plan that restores trust over the weeks that follow.
-
Same day. Crisis situations don't keep business hours, and neither does our counsel when a client's reputation is on the line.
-
Yes. We're Melbourne-based and work with clients across Australia, and reputation work in particular often runs remotely at short notice.
