Brand awareness vs Brand reputation

The brand awareness is nothing more than the popularity of a brand. Companies pine for it and in some cases invest a huge amount of money in order to increase it. 

On the other hand the brand reputation is what people think about your brand, the perception they have.

But what happen if your popularity (so your brand awareness) rises, but your brand reputation doesn't?

This is what is happening these days to Moncler (a famous luxury down jacket company) after a television report on the Italian public television. In the report a journalist explains the unethical behaviours of the worldwide company. In fact, during the show Moncler has been accused of cruelty to animals, low quality, and exploitation of workers. 

...and the day after the show, the web and social media gone wild. 

The brand awareness has sharply increased against the brand reputation which decreased considerably. Twitter, Facebook and the web are brimming with negative comments and articles agaist Moncler which has decided not to answer to the public offences.

In few months certainly the web and the social will forget what happen, what will remain is the fact that Moncler popularity rises and as a brand will be recognised everywhere as a luxury company that made its way to a more ethical way of working.

Hence, a strong brand awareness or a strong brand reputation? What is better? For sure it is possible to change customer's perception of a brand, but difficult to destroy its awareness.

Social Media for BtoB

We all know that social media marketing is becoming always more important for companies, but what happen if your company is not a BtoC but a BtoB? are social media still useful for your company? Generally speaking yes, they help you build a strong brand awareness and ease the hiring process, because if you are looking for candidates more people know your company and more possibilities you have to find the resource you are looking for. On the other hand, wise is to use the right social networks, for instance if you sell software it could be useless to have a Pinterest or Instagram profile because actually you have no products to take a picture of (or maybe you can take a pic of their GUI?). What you can use to promote your business, instead, is LinkedIn which gives you the possibility to create ads based on your target market and target only Seniors that can be your potential customers. Indeed, it's not easy to be a Social media Manager for BtoB but not impossible with money t
