Stephanie Fierman to Advise DIGO Clients on 'Brand Self-Defense in The Digital Age'

DiMassimoGoldstein (NYC) beefs up 'online brand advocacy' offering by

retaining the veteran marketer.

    NEW YORK, Oct. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- "We all know very well that our
 brands are less under our control and more under the sway of the digital
 multitudes. But it seems to us that this should be less like the weather --
 which everyone discusses, but no one seems to do anything about -- and more
 like the other things we learn to manage and exercise some control over."
 So says Mark DiMassimo, CEO of New York-based DiMassimoGoldstein (DIGO), in
 announcing his agency's retaining of veteran marketer, Stephanie Fierman,
 to consult for the agency and its clients on the subject of digital brand
 self-defense.

     According to Fierman, "Max Kalehoff of Nielsen BuzzMetrics had it just
 right when he said that this is the age of 'defensive branding.' There's so
 much a business can do to protect and defend its brand and reputation
 online, but most marketers still have no idea how to do this -- either
 proactively, or reactively in a crisis. Well I've learned the hard way, and
 I'm looking forward to making it a lot easier for DiMassimoGoldstein's
 clients."
     Fierman refers to her own brand wake-up call, when she discovered that
 the top Google search results for "Stephanie Fierman" were anonymous lies
 and derogatory innuendo. After months of "taking the high road and ignoring
 it," Fierman started looking for answers. What she's learned, she now
 shares with other marketers who are anxious to hear from her.
     This week, in addition to advising her growing client list, Fierman
 addressed the CMO Club in New York on the topic of online reputation
 management.
