Sharon Koh sets up boutique reputation advisory firm in Singapore

 Sharon Koh has launched The Brand Imprint, a Singapore-based boutique advisory firm specialising in online reputation management and crisis communications.

The firm focusses on two areas: proactive reputation building and crisis advisory. The former supports clients in strengthening their online presence and establishing crisis response plans before situations arise. The latter guides organisations, executives and individuals through social media and online crises to help protect and, where possible, strengthen their reputation.

Services include online reputation strategy, social media crisis planning and response, executive reputation management, crisis communications training, and courses designed to build in-house capability among leadership teams.

Sharon brings more than two decades of experience across global organisations including Procter & Gamble, Trend Micro, and Scoot, where she served as Head of Marketing. She most recently spent a decade as Digital Director of Digital Studios by APRW, advising senior leadership teams on social media communications, reputation strategy and stakeholder engagement.

“Reputation, managed well, is not about never making mistakes. It is about who you are when you do,” Sharon said.

The Brand Imprint will serve clients across Southeast Asia and the broader Asia Pacific region.
