What’s on the Reputation poster
A definition and 5 facts worth remembering.
Reputation is the collective judgement of an organisation formed over time from behaviour, experience and account.
- Built slowly by consistent behaviour, not by messaging.
- Lost quickly, and asymmetrically: bad news travels further.
- Differs by public: staff, customers and regulators diverge.

- Who is the Reputation poster for?
- Reputation belongs to the Communications & Media section rather than to a school year, because humanities is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning public relations can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Reputation poster?
- When a plan proposes to improve reputation without changing anything. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Reputation belongs on the wall where that humanities work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Reputation?
- Apologising Well, Crisis Response and The Holding Statement sit alongside Reputation in the Communications & Media section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Apologising WellCrisis ResponseThe Holding Statement
- Is the Reputation poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Reputation downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Communications & Media section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Reputation poster print at?
- Reputation is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Reputation loses nothing.Printing guide
