Hi Friend,

They say reputation is like fine china. Once broken, it's hard to fix. 

With the growing prevalence of non-traditional information sources, reputational risk presents itself in ever-changing ways. Fake news, automated advertising. Just when we thought we'd seen it all.

Best,
Carden

A host of major global brands, recently joined by Telstra and Holden, are boycotting YouTube thanks to ill-placed programmatic ads. 

Google has apologised, but only time will tell if the reputational damage has been too great to be undone.
