Course Overview
An organization’s success is shaped not only by its performance but also by how it is perceived. Public perception directly impacts reputation, stakeholder trust, and long-term business sustainability. Poorly managed brand image can erode credibility, while a strong image fosters loyalty, influence, and market advantage.
This course explores strategies for brand positioning, perception monitoring, stakeholder trust, media management, digital branding, and crisis response. Participants will develop practical skills to align brand identity with organizational values while shaping public opinion through transparent communication and proactive image-building strategies.
