Some brands enter the market with a halo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others walk in carrying a suitcase full of history, criticism and public suspicion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They may have faced a crisis (such as Volkswagen\u2019s emissions scandal).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They may operate in a sector people love to attack (aviation, meat production, cigarettes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or they may be the easy target of the season (big tech, big pharma, big food).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In India, too, we\u2019ve seen this play out – from ITC responding to criticism for promoting health foods despite its tobacco legacy, to Jio facing allegations of monopolistic ambitions, to Indigo being questioned about staff behaviour and customer service. Globally, Meta, Shell, McDonald\u2019s, Nestl\u00e9, Wells Fargo and many more have been in similar positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the public narrative turns against a brand, turning it back can feel like pushing a mountain uphill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But hostility doesn\u2019t come from nowhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It feeds on mistrust, past actions, unanswered questions and a belief that \u201cthis brand doesn\u2019t care.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The instinctive response from companies, however, is often counterproductive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Brands Typically React – And Why It Doesn\u2019t Work<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When facing negativity, most companies fall into predictable patterns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. They retreat<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

They hide behind product brands, reduce visibility, or avoid the media altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example: Many Indian conglomerates historically kept their corporate names invisible to avoid scrutiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. They go on the offensive<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

They flood the market with ads, issue strong rebuttals, or highlight legality rather than morality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example: Oil companies globally often launch \u201cgreen\u201d campaigns to counter environmental criticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. They become opaque<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

They delay disclosures, avoid specifics, or bury facts under jargon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This worsens suspicion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. They create their own standards<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Industries sometimes declare voluntary codes to shift narrative control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good in theory, often seen as self-serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These responses are understandable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No CEO wants their company to be labelled as harmful, incompetent or exploitative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But here\u2019s the truth:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reputation cannot be repaired with defensiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can only be rebuilt with conversation, clarity and uncomfortable honesty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why People Don\u2019t Believe \u201cWe\u2019re Good Now\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When a brand is seen as \u201cthe villain,\u201d audiences assign motives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re greedy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re hiding something.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou care only about profit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when the same brand suddenly announces, \u201cWe\u2019re responsible and ethical,\u201d it sounds like theatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look at Facebook during the Cambridge Analytica scandal, Boeing after the 737-Max crash, Johnson & Johnson after the talc controversy, or Maggi after the 2015 ban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even when they told the \u201ccorrect\u201d story, consumers didn\u2019t buy it – because the brand hadn\u2019t shown its vulnerability, only its defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To shift public sentiment, brands must move from reputation management to reputation transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where Recovery Begins: Understanding the Hurt<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first real question leaders must ask is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat exactly did we break?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the anger about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do we make?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do we behave?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who are we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or who we were?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And equally:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is shaping this perception, and why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until this is understood, no communication plan will land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three Internal Rules Every Embattled Brand Must Adopt<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Listen without fear, respond without weakness<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hear what people are saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t hide behind legalese or PR polish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But also don\u2019t cave to every demand – people respect clarity more than capitulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Separate signal from noise<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Not every critic wants a solution – some want a fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brands must learn to distinguish legitimate concerns from performative outrage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Turn objections into opportunities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every tough question offers an opportunity to innovate, redesign, or rethink processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This mindset shifts the brand from \u201cdefensive\u201d to \u201cconstructive\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Practical Playbook for Rebuilding Trust<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Start with the value everyone agrees on<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It might be safety, fairness, sustainability, or transparency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

State that<\/em> as your shared purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the Maggi crisis, Nestl\u00e9 India reframed its purpose around food safety and rebuilt step by step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Define what this purpose allows – and what it won\u2019t allow<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Be explicit about commitments AND limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People respect clarity even when it\u2019s imperfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Make your commitments public<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Invite scrutiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open the door rather than trying to shut out the noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Tackle the hard problems, not the easy ones<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t brag about solar panels if your biggest criticism is carbon emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t talk about charity if the public wants answers about employee treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tata Steel didn\u2019t recover its reputation by boasting; it rebuilt trust by showing decades of employee- and community-first action in Jamshedpur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Report progress like a conversation, not a victory lap<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Share what\u2019s improving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Share what\u2019s still broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Share what you don\u2019t yet know how to fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This vulnerability is what turns sceptics into thoughtful listeners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Accept that this is long-term work<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Reputation isn\u2019t an ad campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a cultural rewiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of how Microsoft shifted from the aggressive \u201cWindows empire\u201d of the 1990s to Satya Nadella\u2019s empathetic, developer-friendly, cloud-first company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It took a decade – but it worked because it was real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Heart of the Matter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fixing a poorly perceived brand is not about shouting louder, hiding better, or arguing harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is about rebuilding human trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And trust grows when brands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Show their flaws<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Explain their dilemmas<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Invite collaboration<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Act consistently<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • And give society a reason to believe again<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The brands that manage this \u2013 from Tata to Patagonia to Microsoft \u2013 don\u2019t just repair reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    They built a stronger one than they ever had.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
