Public relations and the management of reputation is often heavily criticised and the butt of ill-informed jokes, particularly when it comes to discussions around politics, the need to save money and hiring ‘unnecessary and expensive’ consultants. Too often we are an easy target – sometimes labelled untrustworthy spin doctors that should be believed with caution.
