The reputation the network services and solutions provider Earthlink gained for customer service is a prime example.

FedEx CEO Fred Smith’s overheated response to a New York Times story about its tax bill – or lack of it – offers a PR master class in how not to react to an investigative piece. The NYT story packs a punch. By taking advantage of the 2017 tax legislation that cuts corporate rates from 35 to 21 percent, FedEx managed to reduce its tax bill from $1.5 billion that year to exactly zero in 2018.

I was out for dinner with the Metia management team last night when my phone lit up. The Conservative Party switched the name and logo on its Twitter account to @FactCheckUK.

Another day another example of blatantly fake political campaign content. The election campaign is widening the gulf between political campaigning and the norms of organisational communication. The Labour Party published its manifesto yesterday. Just before the launch the Conservative Party published a fake website version. The faux manifesto cites Labour policy as having no plan for Brexit, higher taxes and pushing for two more referendums.
